The DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) is inviting local MSMEs and enthusiasts to a Consultative Dialogue on Essential Oils this 21 September 2022 (Wednesday), 8:30AM.
The event will gather key players in the essential oils industry in the Philippines to: (1) assess the current status of the industry at global and local perspectives; (2) identify the industry needs, gaps and opportunities; and (3) foster collaboration among the stakeholders.
The Consultative Dialogue is in line with the Institute’s Flavors & Fragrances from the Forest Technology Program (F3TP) that aims to tap underutilized non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for food, medicine, flavors and essences. In the next 10 years, F3TP’s goal is to contribute in creating a globally competitive and sustainable forest flavors and fragrances industry in the Philippines. ### (Apple Jean M. de Leon, 09 September 2022)
