- Is especially useful to the construction, furniture and handicraft sectors to ensure the identity of raw materials used for their products.
- Is made possible thru the Institute’s Wood and Herbarium Library, an internationally recognized facility housing 16,348 specimens of Philippine and foreign wood samples and 2,631 preserved plant specimens
