Happy 31st Anniversary BPRE !


BPRE stands for Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension, my mother agriculture unit, which is the postharvest arm of the Philippine Department of Agriculture. This week is dubbed as the Postharvest Week, and today is the so-called Industry Day featuring a day-long program commemorating the importance of postharvest technology as agri-development strategy.

Today's occasion was graced, among many others by, Congressman Bernardo Pinol, Jr., A/Sec. Salvador Salacup, Gov. Josephine Sato, presidents of BPRE-cooperating SUC's, former BPRE Executive Director Silvestre Andales, and delegates of various agricultural R & D organizations.

This year is my 26th anniversary with BPRE, and here's wishing this DA unit all the best. Congratulations for its excellent performance in increasing farm productivity via postharvest technology.
