technical assistance to private hatcheries, research institutions, and universities for their requirements on natural food (microalgae and zooplankton) including internship or on-the-job trainings.

Based on its 2015 accomplishment report, the center has produced a total of 103,100 juveniles. Commodities include abalone (15,000), sandfish (59,600) and siganid (28,500), of which, 15,500 juveniles of fish and invertebrate species were distributed to recipients in Ilocos Sur and Pangasinan, RMATDEC-Casantaan for broodstock development by the center, and students for research use. The center has also trained 64 students from various regions of the country.

Under its National Technology Commercialization Program, BAR also supported the

project, “Technology Commercialization on the Grow Out Culture of Sea Urchin in Cages,” implemented by BFAR-Regional Office 1. Based on its terminal report, “the project brought more sea urchin recruits in the project site and the adjacent site including other invertebrate species. This has triggered technology adopters not only within the barangay, but also in adjacent barangays.”

Part of the project was the turn-over of seven modules (with 7 cages/module), for a total of 49 units of sea urchin cages stocked with juveniles, to the Paraoir Fisherfolk Association, the identified recipient of the project. Using the modular method of culture, it is possible to harvest sea urchins up to six times in one year.

Witnessing the event were Provincial Agricultural Officer of

Pangasinan; Alaminos City Tourism Office Consultant Joseph Bacay; Barangay Captain Raul Bacay and the Council of Lucap; Fisherfolk Representative Dante Noces; BFAR-Regional Office 1 Assistant Director Rosario Segundina P.

in 2013-2016, Sen. Villar gave a rundown of her legislative performance which includes the passage into law of sixteen bills on agriculture and fisheries. Now serving as the vice chair of the committee, the senator assured that she will continue to advocate for more legislative reforms to address the needs of the sector.

Citing the importance of fast and effective agricultural technology transfer to farmers and farming communities all over the country, Sen. Villar commended the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) for its successful staging of NTF over the years. To her, the NTF effectively serves as an avenue for the general public to get to know about the innovative agriculture and fishery technologies developed through research and development (R&D) who will then build linkages and networks with researchers and experts as agri-preneurs, investors, or technology adopters.

She noted the importance of making sure that technologies reach their intended users and beneficiaries for these to be instrumental to the growth of the sector while providing livelihood to Filipino farmers and fisherfolks. “Importante kasi na hindi lang maka-create ng mga innovative technologies or systems. Dapat ay makarating din ito sa intended users

developed the technology to make pure culture, spawn bags, and fruit bags. The research's on-station component also included the production of information, education, and communication materials through the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Information Section; value-adding of mushroom by-products conducted by the DA-RFO 5 Food Laboratory; as well as the training of the project's beneficiaries. The community-based enterprise development, on the other hand, focused on getting interested farmers to understand the business potential of mushroom production and helping them reach a wider market in the province.

“The mushroom is an organism under the group of fungi. Here in Bicol, we focused on propagating edible mushrooms,” explained Oliver. “The mushroom species that growers in Bicol prefer are oyster mushrooms, while others have also been showing interest in propagating Ganoderma species which is the kind commonly used for pharmaceutical purposes,” he added.

During trainings, beneficiaries are taught the basic tools and steps needed to start mushroom production. Mushrooms are grown out of fruiting bags. These bags, according to Oliver, must be filled with substrates (growth media) that are usually made up of one kilo of recycled agricultural waste such as saw dust or rice straw, or a combination of both mixed with agricultural lime. After the bags had been prepared and sealed, they undergo thorough pasteurization in steel drums heated overnight in order to eliminate any contaminants. After inoculation, the fruiting bags are unsealed so that growers can place the mushroom spawn onto the substrate. After this, the fruiting bags are once again sealed and stored together in a fruiting house. After about two to four months, each fruiting bag will have already produced 30 percent of the weight of the mushroom fruit bags. For Raceles, his fruiting houses made out of indigenous materials are home

to over 5,000 fruiting bags which can produce approximately 150 kilos of mushrooms within the entire production cycle.

Harvested oyster mushrooms were then developed into delicious by-products. DA-RFO's FoodTechnologist, Ms. Arlene De Asis, has already concocted various mushroom dishes that include mushroom ice cream, mushroom soup with chili, pickled mushroom, ketchup, dried mushroom, prunes, and mushroom sisig.

After the production cycle, the substrates that remain in the fruiting bags can be used in vermicomposting. Farmers can then sell the vermicompost for 10 pesos a kilo.

What started as just a handful of mushroom growers has now grown into the BEAM organization. Ever since its establishment last year, both Oliver and Raceles have taken on active roles in the organization, and today BEAM is registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Now that our advocacy is known all over Bicol and there is steady demand for mushroom, we are pushing for a more synchronized planting system,” says Raceles. He adds that as an organization, it is crucial that each BEAM member's mushroom production is synchronised with the rest so that they can cater to bigger orders and therefore be more cost-effective. Raceles says that “the more synchronised mushroom production is, the easier it is to sell harvests to farther distances across the region and the rest of Luzon.” BEAM's goal is to be able to produce 100-200 kilos of mushroom daily for interested buyers. Currently, a kilo of harvested oyster mushrooms is sold at 150 to 195 pesos.

The project has trained 2,093 clients on mushroom production. Participants to these trainings come from different walks of life: farmers, military, students, religious groups, as well as indigenous people. The research also got special recognition in the 2015 and 2016 in-house R&D reviews of the DA. Aside from gaining recognition in trade fairs, Bicol mushroom production has also been featured by two national TV networks.

Citing it as both a curse and a blessing, Raceles has noticed that a handful of farmers have been abandoning their practice of planting rice and are, instead, opting to go into mushroom production. According to him, this is because farmers see that mushroom is climate-resilient since majority of its production is done indoors unlike a field crop like rice.

Oliver also attributed the success of the mushroom project in Bicol to Engr. Abelardo R. Bragas and Dr. Elena B. Delos Santos who were DA-RFO 5's former and current Regional Executive Directors, respectively. “Also, I couldn't have done it myself without the help of Dr. Edgar Madrid and Ms. Luz Marcelino,” Oliver added referring to DA-RFO 5's Regional Technical Director for Research and Regulations and Chief of Research Division, ?respectively. ###

Assistant Secretary for the Visayas, Attorney Hansel Didulo, underscored the importance of farmers because they are primarily the reason why we have food on our tables.

“It is our moral obligation to provide available and affordable food for our people,” ASec. Didulo said in his keynote speech during the opening

thprogram of the 12 National Technology Forum (NTF) and Product Exhibition of the Bureau of Agricultural Research.

This is in line with the current administration's call in carrying out agricultural reforms to rescue farmers from their seemingly unrelenting impoverished state.

To attain this goal, ASec. Didulo said that this endeavor will start by immersing into the issues at the grassroots and addressing them through concerted efforts of all stakeholders. “This is why DA Secretary Manny Piñol set on a journey to the different provinces especially to the most far-flung areas

in the country, which we now call the Biyaheng Bukid Program. This campaign aims at finding out the real plight of our farmers and fisherfolk,” he said.

Also, ASec. Didulo enumerated the agenda of the DA which includes the rehabilitation of irrigation systems and coastal communities, immediate assistance for calamity-stricken farmers and fishers, agricultural mapping, and community-based feeding programs, among others.

We all need a farmer in our lives –Asec Didulo

She encouraged BAR to continually support and assist farmers, fishers, farm-owners, and agri-preneurs with sustained dissemination and by sharing new agricultural technologies with them through activities such as the seminars featured every NTF.

Currently the Chair to the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Sen. Villar ended her speech with a reminder that the generation of innovative

technologies has to be ensured as this will not only boost efficiency, but are also environment-friendly. She then applauded BAR for its initiatives and continued support to R&D activities that are focused on mitigating climate change and improving the adaptive capacity of farmers and fisherfolk especially that agriculture is considered as the sector most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. ### (Mara Shyn M. Valdeabella)

implementation of these programs, the DA is set to closely collaborate with other government agencies such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Education, and Department of Health.

Part of the pronouncements of the DA under its new administration is to promote, strengthen, and disseminate technologies

generated from agri-fishery research and development (R&D) while empowering farmers and farming communities, they being at the frontline of agriculture.

“If you need help in promoting your technology, for as long as the measure is viable and within the bounds of law, and will surely benefit our farmers and fisherfolk, I will not hesitate to help in my capacity,” said ASec. Didulo in closing. ### (Daryl Lou A. Battad)

Boosting mushroom production in Bicol through community-based enterprise development

r. Mariano Raceles, a farmer in Bicol, always had a fascination with M

mushrooms. Back in 2013, he was motivated to give his outdoor mushroom plantation an upgrade. So he took initiative and frequently visited the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Office in Bicol to see if anyone can help him in improving his venture into mushroom production. After a few trips to the office, Mr. Pedro Oliver, who was assigned as the regional focal person for mushroom, went straight to equipping Raceles with the necessary tools and technical know-how needed to boost the farmer's mushroom production. Fast forward to 2016, the joint efforts of Oliver and Raceles together with a team of researchers at the DA Regional Office have led to the establishment of a community-based organization of mushroom growers–the Bicol Entrepreneurs' Association for Mushroom or BEAM.

According to Oliver, mushroom production across Bicol started in 2014. Oliver and his colleague, Angelina Peñaserada, were among the first to work on the project titled, “Bicol's Community-Based Mushroom Project,” which has beneficiaries in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, Masbate, and Albay. The project mainly aims to provide local farmers with an additional source of income and livelihood. The DA-RFO 5, in partnership with the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) which provided funding, accomplished this by spearheading the production of pure culture and quality spawn bags which, Oliver said, are “key components to the sustainability of mushroom production.”

“The project is made up of two components: on-station and community-based enterprise development,” said Oliver. It was during the on-station stage that the DA

where this country can develop agriculture from the perspective of, not only feeding the country, but seeing to it that we derive so much income from agriculture,” appealed InangLupa Movement, Inc. President, Dr. William D. Dar, in his inspirational message in the opening

thprogram of the 12 Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition or NTF on 11 August 2016.

As a frequent visitor to the NTF over the past years, Dr. has witnessed how NTF has served as a venue to showcase technologies developed by BAR and its R&D partners that are ready to be commercialized. However, as most of the participating exhibitors are coming from research and academic institutions, he sees the need for more representation from the private sector that will help in propelling these technologies and products in the market. “This is the stage in which you have to aim for the next level of development where I would like to see more private sector engagement, in which they will exhibit the technologies that they are commercializing–technologies that have been developed through the coordination of BAR,” he said.

According to him, the agriculture sector should not only focus on improving and increasing productivity but also on developing strategies on how to profit from the agricultural R&D endeavors. He said that only through focusing on improving the country's agricultural competitiveness using technology and innovation will the country experience favorable benefits from agriculture. He observed that the Philippines is lagging behind in terms of total factor productivity or the use of technology and innovation in agriculture as compared to other neighboring ASEAN member countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand, a fact that he associates with the country's high incidence of

graced the blessing and inauguration of the Regional Fisheries Training and Fisherfolk Coordinating Center of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Regional Office 1 on 23 August 2016 in Lucap, Alaminos City, Pangasinan.

Initially funded by BAR through its Institutional Development Grant (IDG), the center will serve as a hub for the training of personnel, scientists, researchers, fishers, and students alike from BFAR and other government and private institutions, within and outside of the region, for the continuing progress of the fisheries sector.

BAR Director Nicomedes P. Eleazar, in his message as read by Technology Commercialization Division Assistant Head Ma. Elena M. Garces, said that “the facility, I believe, will be of better service to our constituents and to our fisheries stakeholders in the pursuit of new discoveries and in strengthening our capacity development initiatives. I fully support the drive of the regional office to house together the training-related endeavors of the bureau for the expansion of knowledge of its employees. After all, training programs offer opportunities for both professional and personal growth.”

Under BAR's R&D Facilities Development Program, IDG supports the establishment and upgrading of R&D facilities to effectively and efficiently cater to the needs of the sector's stakeholders.

Director Nestor D. Domenden of BFAR-Regional Office 1 acknowledged the support of BAR and the Government of Alaminos City and cited the outpouring support given to the fisheries activities of the region. “The fisheries of Pangasinan accounts for more than 80 percent of the annual regional production. By itself, the first district of Pangasinan

(Alaminos City, Agno, Anda, Bani, Bolinao, Burgos, Dasol, Infanta, Mabini, and Sual) contributes more than 50 percent of the total regional fish production. As to provincial production, a little less than 80 percent of the provincial production of Pangasinan comes from Alaminos City as it serves as the melting pot and center of economic activities of Western Pangasinan,” he said.

Also gracing the event was Mayor Arthur F. Celeste of Alaminos City, an active and supportive partner of the programs and activities of BFAR. He also mentioned a proposal to include the

Regional Mariculture Technology Demonstration Center (RMATDEC) as part of the educational and tourism package of Alaminos City.

The said training center is housed inside RMATDEC. RMATDEC conducts 1) breeding and seed production of tropical abalone, sea cucumber, and rabbit fish; 2) harmful algal blooms monitoring and paralytic shellfish poisoning analysis; 3) production of natural food species for hatchery use; and 4) production of seaweed species for outplanting by farmers. Likewise, the center also extends

th 12 NTF: Book Launch

he Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) launched three of its supported T

publications on on 11 August 2016 at Mega Trade Hall 2, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. Conducted as part of the opening

thprogram of the 12 Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition, the book launch celebrated the production of three timely and relevant materials that aim to inspire and guide Filipino researchers and scientists in pursuing and implementing more agriculture and fishery research and development (R&D) activities. These books were: 1) Research and Development, and Extension Agenda and Programs (RDEAP) 2016-2022; 2) Climate Change RDEAP for Agriculture and Fisheries 2016-2022; and 3) Organic Farming: A Thriving Fashion and Passion.

The RDEAP serves as the bureau's guidebook or main reference in prioritizing and evaluating agri-fishery R&DE proposals in support to the current thrusts and programs of the agriculture department. Realizing

the demands and current environmental, market, and global challenges; as well as other issues and concerns facing the agriculture and fisheries industry, BAR reviewed and updated the RDEAP for the next medium term, 2016-2022.

Focused on: 1) food staples, feed resources, and other alternatives; 2) commercial crops; 3) poultry and livestock; and 4) fisheries and aquaculture, RDEAP 2016-2022 is a reference material for BAR's partner implementing agencies on what R&D activities must be pursued to guide the path towards a competitive, sustainable, and resilient agriculture and fishery sector.

The publication is a product of a national multi-stakeholder's consultation workshop, the outputs of which were further reviewed, verified, and finalized by key players and experts. It is both holistic and inclusive in approach, and consistent with the Department's major thrusts on food security, poverty alleviation, and agriculture sustainability.

The CC RDEAP for Agriculture and Fisheries 2016-2022, on the other hand, is a 63-page publication that contains an integrated

research and development and extension (RDE) agenda for agriculture and fisheries specifically drawn up to address the challenges and threats of climate change that beset agricultural productivity and livelihood.

A product of collaborative effort and series of consultations with various sectors including agencies from the Department of Agriculture (DA), academe, and other R&D partner institutions, the CC RDEAP contains priority areas for Climate Change R&D and serves as a guide and a reference to the sector, particularly for project proponents and researchers, in submitting their proposals and other climate change-related initiatives.

The agenda, which is consistent with the DA-Systems Wide Climate Change Program (DA-SWCCP), is anchored on two pillars: adaptation and mitigation, with adaptation as the anchor strategy and mitigation as a function of adaptation.

s the directions for the agriculture and fisheries sector have been set anew by A

recently-appointed Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” F. Piñol, the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) is making it a priority to realign its research and development (R&D) agenda to the thrusts and priority programs of the new DA administration. This was the central point of discussions during the conduct of the “2016 Midyear Review and Planning Workshop” held on 16–19 August 2016 at the Development Academy of the Philippines in Tagaytay City.

In his message, BAR Director Nicomedes P. Eleazar enjoined BAR key officials and staff members to harmonize and update the existing Research and Development, and Extension Agenda Programs (RDEAP) with the directives presented by the new DA secretary–the core of which centers on pursuing initiatives that will address both food production and sufficiency, and poverty.

This was further elaborated by Mr. Joell H. Lales, head of BAR-

Planning and Program Development Division (PPDD), when he re-echoed the presentation made by Secretary Piñol titled, “Philippine Agriculture: Today and the Future.” In the presentation, the DA will pursue programs that will focus on two areas of growth: staple food commodities for food security, and high-value crops for job and income generation. For staple food, Sec. Piñol listed rice; corn; chicken; meat; milk and dairy products; fish and marine products; and fruits, especially bananas; as foods that Filipinos need and should be produced sufficiently. On the other hand, for the high-value crops which are potential cash crops of the country, Sec. Piñol included Cavendish and Lacatan banana, pineapple, cacao, coffee, rubber, oil palm, abaca, shrimps, fish and marine products, seaweeds, organically-grown rice and vegetables, pork, halal chicken, spices and essential oils, and tropical fruits.

With this, Dir. Eleazar issued an order to the staff to immediately release call for proposals covering all of the priority commodities stated by the Secretary which will be the priority for funding in 2017. “All

proposals to be prioritized for funding in 2017 should fall within the new thrusts and directions of the DA and the President. Special emphasis should also be made relative to identified regional commodity profiles or those being championed at the provincial level,” underscored Dir. Eleazar.

The bureau chief also recognized the collective efforts of the staff members for the good performance of the bureau in the first half of 2016. He mentioned, as among the accomplishments of the bureau, the crafting of 2016-2022 BAR's RDEAP and Climate Change RDEAP, the nearing completion of the compendium of BAR-funded projects, the launching of the Technology Commercialization on Wheels (TCoW) project, and the intensification of Technology Business Incubation (TBI).

Several plenary presentations followed pertaining to financial and physical performance of the bureau. Also, divisions and unit heads presented their respective first semester accomplishments and second semester plans. ### (Diana Rose A. de Leon)

Lucille Elna P.de Guzman, and Rowena P. de Guzman of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), was “Organic Farming: A Thriving Fashion and Passion.” It is a result of a three-year BAR- and UPLB-funded research project titled, “Documentation and Assessment of Socio-cultural Aspects of Organic Agriculture.” Implemented by a group of social science faculty and staff at the Department of Social Sciences and a university researcher from the Crop Science Cluster of UPLB, it contains stories of organic farming champions and their families for whom organic farming is a passion and not just a fashion.

The stories of individuals were gathered through interviews, focus groups, and farm observations covering nine provinces in seven regions from 2012 to 2015. These provinces were Tarlac (Region 3), Quezon (Region 4), Camarines Sur (Region 5), Iloilo (Region 6), Negros Occidental (Region 7), Negros Oriental (Region 7), Cebu (Region 7), Bukidnon (Region 10), and Davao (Region 11).

The publication aims to give a face to organic farming through the farmers, who, with their passion, have made organic farming possible and a source of prosperity; as well as to highlight the lessons learned by the researchers from the champions of organic farming in the Philippines.

Leading the book launch was BAR Director, Dr. Nicomedes P. Eleazar, who awarded copies of the books to Senator Cynthia Villar; DA Assistant Secretary for the Visayas, Atty. Hansel Didulo; and InangLupa Movement President and former Director General of India's International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Dr. William D. Dar. Joining them in the book launch were BAR Assistant Director , Dr. Teodoro Solsoloy; BAR-Technology Commercialization Division Head, Mr. Anthony Obligado; and the authors of “Organic Farming: A Thriving Fashion and Passion.” ### (Mara Shyn M.

Initiative (AFACI) with one of its member countries, Dr. Cho Yang-hee, program leader of extension and member of the advisory committee on Science and Technology of AFACI, visited the Philippines on 11-13 August 2016. The Philippines is one of the 14 AFACI member-countries along with Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea.

Part of the AFACI program leader's activities was gracing the

th12 Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition of the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) held at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City on 11-14 August 2016. A brief meeting was held between Dr. Cho Yang-hee and BAR Director Nicomedes P. Eleazar to further reinforce ties between the two institutions. “I recognize that the event is a good strategy to disseminate and promote mature agricultural technologies that will enhance the productivity of the agriculture sector. I hope that the bureau will continue to conduct such event in the future for the benefit of

the farmers and researchers,” the program leader said.

During the activity, BAR-Applied Communication Division Head Julia A. Lapitan toured Dr. Cho Yang-hee around the exhibit area to see the different technologies showcased by BAR's partner agencies in research and development, some of which were AFACI-funded projects in the Philippines involving upland rice, plant genetic resources, postharvest technologies of horticultural crops, climate change, and organic farming.

Based at the International Technology Cooperation Center of the Rural Development Administration (RDA) of the Republic of Korea in Jeonju, AFACI is one of BAR's international partners that continues to support the Department of Agriculture's thrusts on improving food production, realizing sustainable agriculture, and enhancing extension services through information and knowledge sharing on agriculture-related technologies.

In the Philippines, BAR serves as the partner organization for AFACI's project titled, “Establishment of Agricultural Technology Information Network (ATIN) in Asia,” where Ms. Lapitan acts as the current principal investigator. The project aims to establish a standard web-based system for gathering agricultural data

and sharing agricultural literatures among member countries. Some of the activities undertaken by BAR under the ATIN project included providing updates on the AFACI Philippines' agricultural knowledge website; publication of agricultural books; and reproduction of a crop calendar featuring highland crops; among others. “We will push for more knowledge-sharing initiatives as the bureau fully supports one of AFACI's objectives which is to efficiently share agricultural knowledge and experience among member countries,” Ms. Lapitan explained.

Additionally, Dr. Cho Yang-hee visited the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) in Laguna for the ceremonial signing of a Letter of Agreement between AFACI and UPLB on the safety duplication of important Philippine plant genetic resources in RDA's Agrobiodiversity Center. Safety duplication aims to house genetically identical duplicate accession samples in another location in a base collection, thus providing insurance against the country's loss of genetic material necessary for conservation purposes and future uses.

Other sites in Los Baños, Laguna were also visited including Philippine Rice Research Institute for rice projects; National Plant Genetic Resources Laboratory for solanaceous crops, Vigna species (cowpea, mungbean), and pigeon pea germplasm projects; and Institute of Plant Breeding-National Seed Foundation for seed and variety production-related activities. ### (Anne Camille B.

alOkra is a hybrid term for saluyot and okra coined and used by Ms. Tres Tinna Martin S

in her presentation for the technical thand livelihood seminars during the 12

Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition (NTF) held on 11-14 August 2016 at the Mega Trade Hall 2, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

The university researcher from Mindanao State University (MSU) presented the highlights of their research and development project that studied the nutraceutical and nutricosmetic properties of saluyot (Corchorus olitorius) and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) extracts. Under the project, chemical and bio-guided assays were conducted, a type of scientific experiments which involves the use of live animal and plant tissue or cell to determine the biological activity of a substance such as a hormone or drug.

“Nutraceuticals from saluyot and okra (SalOkra) are preventive alternatives for health and wellness,” Martin said. “The desire to live a disease-free life has provided the push for the utilization of natural resources as therapeutic solutions. These medicinal resources have been utilized since ancient times and have played vital roles in the health care and maintenance activities of communities. It has been observed that communities, especially in developing countries, rely on traditional medicinal resources for their health care needs,” she added.

Saluyot and okra are among the plant species that have caught the attention of the scientific community for their health and wellness potentials. These crops are good sources of food and livelihood. Apart from

being a food source, saluyot is also known to have medicinal properties. Its leaves are rich in beta-carotene, iron, calcium, and Vitamin C, among others; while okra has a wide range of medicinal values which have been used to treat many diseases.

According to Martin, the focus of their research study, other than the evaluation of the crops' nutraceutical and cosmeceutical properties, is the development of capsules and skin cream products from extracts of saluyot and okra.

The project, “Evaluation and Development of Nutraceutical and Cosmeceutical Products from Saluyot and Okra: Protective and Preventive Alternatives for Health and Wellness,” is a Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR)-funded and -assisted project under its National Technology Commercialization Program. ### (Patrick Raymund A.

Benefits of SHIITAKE MUSHROOM th

promoted in BAR’s 12 NTF seminarn an effort to promote the health and livelihood benefits of shiitake mushroom, Ms. Maribel S. I

Bacena, university researcher from the Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, talked about its importance and culture in a seminar held during

ththe 12 Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition (NTF) at the Megatrade Hall 2, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City on 12 August 2016.

According to Ms. Bacena, resource speaker of the technical and livelihood seminar on shiitake mushroom production, one of the most valuable mushrooms, both nutritionally and flavor-wise, is shiitake, scientific name Lentinus edodes. The shiitake is an edible mushroom native to East Asia and is cultivated and consumed in many Asian countries. It is also considered a medicinal mushroom in some forms of traditional medicine.

Shiitake mushroom is rich in enzymes and contains significant quantities of the B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin. In its sun dried form, it has the highest content of

vitamin D of any agricultural crop. Only in fish, fowl, meat, and eggs are higher levels of vitamin D found. In terms of nutritional properties, shiitake has18 types of amino acids including 7 of the 8 essential amino acids in a ratio that approximates the “ideal protein”

for humans. Of these amino acids, shiitake is especially rich in leucine and lysine which are deficient in many grains. For people on a vegetarian diet, shiitake presents an excellent protein supplement.

Mushrooms are fungi and are generally the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus. They are typically found above ground on soil or on its food source. They grow almost everywhere, on every natural material imaginable. Some fungi grow only in association with certain trees. Others

grow on large logs and can also be found in the soil; in decomposing leaves; and in dung, mulch, and compost.

Ms. Bacena also demonstrated the procedures on how to grow shiitake using wood as media and what materials are needed, including the planting of the spawn (the “seed” material used to cultivate mushrooms in logs, sawdust, straw, or other media), as well as harvesting of fully-grown mushroom, among others. She also shared information on the costs and benefits and their proper ratio should one decide to venture into mushroom production.

The BAR-funded project, “Commercialization of Shiitake Production and Product Development Technology in Nueva Vizcaya,” aims to inform the public on the multiple health and economic benefits of shiitake mushroom, among others. Its goal is to commercialize dried and pickled shiitake, and to develop at least two new processed shiitake mushroom food products in NVSU. ### (Patrick Raymund A. Lesaca)
