President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is pushing for the large-scale processing and manufacture of nutritious and affordable vegetable-based foodstuff for the consumers, in order to reduce the effects of the global crisis.
The President will inaugurate the Benguet Vegetable Processing Center in Benguet State University (BSU), in La Trinidad on Tuesday, April 7, together with Presidential Management Staff Secretary Hermogenes Esperon Jr., Benguet Governor Nestor Fongwan, BSU President Rogelio Colting, and members and representatives of the Inter-Agency Group under the Veggie Noodles Project.
President Arroyo has already infused a P10-million financial assistance and instructed BSU to concentrate first on the development and commercial production and distribution of veggie noodles. (PMS-ICO)
