  1. Malunggay at 1m x 1m planting distance

  2. Trial for Malunggay Intensive Planting

  3. Promoting Golden Green…

  4. What has been done… • Development of Package of Technology using the Nicaraguan Experience as model through the Bureau of Plant Industry –on-going • Development of a biotech protocol for rapid propagation of malunggay –on-going

  5. What has been done… • Establishment of Biotechnology Information and Organization Network (BIONet) for Malunggay in Laguna, Quezon, Negros Oriental, CARAGA, Tarlac, CAR, Region 3, and Ilocos Region

  6. What has been done… • Formalized partnership among DA; DOH-NNC; BIONets; private sector; and LGUs of Laguna, Quezon, Tarlac, Negros Oriental, Ilocos Region, Region 3, CAR, and CARAGA for Malunggay program through MOU

  7. What has been done… • Establishment of Malunggay nurseries and repositories in strategic locations • Government-initiated: Malunggay BIOCommerce Centers in CARAGA, BPI QC and Negros Occidental, and Tarlac • Private sector-initiated: Pampanga, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Negros Oriental, Zambales, Camarines Sur, Nueva Ecija, Isabela

  8. What has been done… • Linking up growers with market through contract to buy

  9. What has been done… • Advocacy for Malunggay for government feeding program and nutrition promotion

  10. Our next step… Opening up of market through results of science-based researches(with possible collaboration with other concerned NGAs and private sector]In the pipeline: 1. FNRI research on the nutritional profile/value of Malunggay 2. NCP research on efficacy of Malunggay leaf powder and Moringa oil in improving the micro-nutrient status of Filipinos

  11. Our next step… Policy gaps that need to be addressed:1. Good agricultural practices and stringent regulations must be established to maintain the quality (purity) of our local variety 2. Necessary standards and regulations need to be established to guarantee the quality and safety of Malunggay products produced locally

  12. Our next step… Policy gaps that need to be addressed:3. Clinical trials need to be conducted to gather scientific evidences on the nutritional value of our local variety.4. Feeding trials need to be carried out to substantiate the value of Malunggay dried leaves for animal feeds.

  13. Our next step… Crafting of a national blueprint for Malunggay industry
