SA LUY-A kag KALAWAG  MASANAG ANG BUAS DAMLAG : Sustaining the Ginger and Turmeric  Industry and Building  Resilience  among Men and Women of Brgy.Cabilao Grande, Carles, Iloilo

  • Iloilo Science and Technology University together with College of Arts and Sciences – Natural Science Department, Dr Alan N. Muñoz – Project Leader, Dr. Alma Mae S. Torremoro – Assistant Project Leader and faculty members, Dr. Adrienne D. Veloso – Director of Extension Services Division, and Gender and Development office was welcomed by Hon. Siegfredo A. Betita, Mayor of Carles and Mr. Normeo De Los Santos, Brgy. Captain of Brgy. Cabilao Grande.

  • The Natural Science Department scanned the community and verified its baseline survey in Brgy. Cabilao Grande and Brgy. Cabilao Pequeno, Carles, Iloilo. It was discovered in Brgy. Cabilao Grande that there is an existing  ginger and turmeric tea making industry.  The current problem is that they do not have a consistent supply of ginger and turmeric, and their finished product is only sold in the local community.

  • Although the community manufactures “salabat” and turmeric tea, they lack the raw material’s sustainability. The Natural Science extension group will introduce proper propagation techniques for ginger and turmeric planting/production because their soil conditions are not best suited for the growth of these root crops, standardize the tea-making process, and improve the packaging of their tea products so that they can be sold on a large-market scale.

  • The three-day day program aims to discuss on how to cultivate and propagate ginger and turmeric using suitable methods, regulate the production of tea and evaluate the nutrient benefit of it, enhance the quality of packaging and assist them promote the tea product and develop resiliency among men and women in the age of the new normal. The said activity was held in Brgy. Cabilao Grande Gym from November 21-23, 2022.
