KORONADAL CITY, Dec 16 (PIA) -- Fifteen members of a cooperative in Sarangani were trained on processing and value addition of seaweeds into income-generating products recently. | |||
The two-day training, specifically intended for members of the Sarangani Seaweed Producers Cooperative, was implemented by the Post Harvest Section (PHS) of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Region 12 in coordination with the Department of Trade and Industry - Sarangani Province (DTI-SP) at the Municipal Hall of Alabel town, Sarangani Province. | |||
The training was focused on the production of pickles, noodles, and chips, among others from seaweeds. | |||
Jocelyn Romasanta, PHSs chief of the PHS, BFAR 12 technical staff and DTI counterparts said the training is to ensure that technologies were clearly and properly conveyed to the target recipients for them to develop and sustain means of livelihood other than fishing. | |||
She said the participants, majority of whom were women, were taught to maximize use of seaweeds which are commonly grown in the area. | |||
“This, in effect, is an opportunity to empower women who complement efforts with their fisherman-husbands,” Romasanta said. | |||
To ensure that beneficiaries sustain their operation, BFAR 12 also awarded them with one unit noodle-making equipment. | |||
The participants personally thanked BFAR 12 & DTI- SP for the support they had given to their group and for the knowledge they had gained in the lecture and training. | |||
According to them, it was indeed a great help for them to have an additional job and income. | |||
Seaweeds is one of the municipal’s main product line and this is the reason why the government took the initiative to develop more products out of this commodity. (BFAR 12/DEDoguiles/PIA 12) | |||
