Year-round calamansi production in Oriental Mindoro now possible

The Tokyo University of Agriculture (Tokyo Nodai), in cooperation with the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) that has partnered with the Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology (MinSCAT), has introduced off-season production of calamansi in Victoria, Oriental Mindoro as part of its effort to help the Philippines export the commodity.

“The success of these farming technologies in attaining a stable supply of calamansi even during lean months will bring farmers in a better position where they can maximize the economic benefits brought about by higher level of farmgate prices, which in turn raise farm income,” said Patricia Ann Pielago of Searca.
