Three (3) bakeries in Oriental Mindoro have signed a technology licensing agreement (TLA) to adopt and start the mass production of the Enhanced Nutribun (e-nutribun) technology of the DOST- Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI).

DOST-MIMAROPA administered the signing of the TLA which was held separately last January 14 between DOST-FNRI and the new technology adopters— City Cakes and Café of City College of Calapan which operates under the local government of Calapan City, Olympia’s Bakery also located at Calapan City, and GMC Bakery in the municipality of Pinamalayan.

The two licensees from Calapan City were endorsed by the City Nutrition Office of the City Government of Calapan while GMC Bakery is the first licensee of the e-nutribun technology from Pinamalayan and from the entire 2nd district of Oriental Mindoro.

DOST-FNRI reminded the newly-trained technology adopters to strictly comply with the standard process to maintain the quality of e-nutribun to be offered to the consuming public.

Provincial S&T Director of Oriental Mindoro Jesse Pine added that the e-nutribun offers a wide range of opportunities for the adopters to include various potential market including DepEd, DSWD, and the general public.
