It’s the time of the year for DOST!

The Regional Science and Technology Week (RSTW) started to roll throughout the country once again. Joining the RSTW in the SOCCSKSARGEN region is the DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) represented by Deputy Director Rico J. Cabangon.

During the S&T Summit at General Santos City, Cabangon presented the Institute’s sustainable products, technologies, and services that highlight DOST-FPRDI’s efforts in helping create sustainable forest-based industries.

Technical consultancy services were also provided to the Mahintana Foundation of Polomolok, South Cotabato and the Bureau of Jail Management and Phenology of Malapatan, Saranggani Province on charcoal and charcoal briquettes; and Green Workers Corporation of Kidapawan City on engineered bamboo processing.

Various key players in the local essential oils industry gathered in an online consultative dialogue organized by the DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) last 21 September 2022.

Themed “Investing on the Science, Economics and Sustainability for the Inclusive Growth of the Philippine Essential Oils Industry”, the event underscored the current status of the sector, and covered issues on the production, processing and marketing of essential oils, among others.
