Department of Agriculture (DA) records show that jackfruit production in Region 8 has steadily increased through the years. 


Today, according to the DA-Eastern Visayas Integrated Agricultural Research Center (EVIARC) based on Tacloban City (Leyte), Region 8 ships every week at most 500 pieces of jackfruit to other regions and major cities, particularly Manila and Cebu.

                    [Summary] => It’s simply called TPR.


It stands for triple production red, a composite strain of selected traditional single-combed red chicken (25 percent  single-combed Rhode Island from the United States, 25 percent rose-combed Rhode Island from the United Kingdom, 25 percent rose-combed Rhode Island Red from the US, and 25 percent New Hampshire).


The exotic TPR is considered a promising breed to improve the native chicken in developing countries. They are raised both for meat and egg production and are generally preferred for backyard flocks.

But the R&D sector is optimistic that tamarind’s time will soon come. In fact, the England-based International Centre for Underutilized Crops has described it as "fruit for the future."


There are two main varieties of tamarind – sweet and sour.


The sweet tamarind is produced mainly in Thailand where it is commercially grown and exported both in the fresh and processed forms. About 140,000 tons of tamarind is produced annually in Thailand.

Codenamed A300, the up-and-coming eggplant variety was bred by Dr. Rodel Maghirang of the UP Los Baños Institute of Plant Breeding (UPLB-IPB) under IPB’s plant breeding program.


"Mistisa" is white with purple stripes, grows to 20 centimeters long, has a long shelf life and acceptable quality and very prolific.
