We wish to collaborate with the following DTI Agencies to wit:
- Board of Investments – how and what assistance the government can provide for the pioneering industry?
- Bureau of import services – agarwood extraction facility for commercial production is about 80m pesos excluding the laboratory equipment.
- Shared Service Facility for the
- Agarwood Leaf Tea Production – there farms with harvestable leaves for processing.
- Agarwood oil extraction – in one or 2 years time.
- microwave extraction
- supercritical fluid extraction
- Bureau of Philippine Standards – we have to grade and check the quality of agarwood for product standardization purposes.
- International Trade Development – we have to develop trade with countries importing/using CITES agarwood.
- Export Promotion –
- MSME Team – Our Farmers/Growers are members of Agriculture Cooperatives nationwide while maintaining a dti/sec registered farm individually. Maybe we can help them plant more agarwood by giving access to fund needed for expansion.
Those are just my ideas on how we can collaborate with your department.
