00:00 The International Conference on Green Oil was held today
00:04 led by the Industrial Technology Development Institute of the DOST
00:09 in collaboration with the Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
00:13 This is part of the cooperation between the DOST
00:18 and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China or MOST
00:22 through the exchange programs, joint research, best practice sharing seminars, symposiums, and workshops.
00:29 The Collaborative Research and Development Project is a center of activity
00:34 in the extraction of cashew oil through green technology.
00:38 The conference's target is to increase integration
00:42 in various applications such as food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries
00:47 to increase the knowledge of the nutritional and economic value of cashew nut oil.
00:53 It will also serve as a platform for activities for the stakeholders of cashew production, manufacturing, and sales.
01:01 It will be the micro, small, and medium enterprises
01:04 that can exchange ideas in oil production and green chemical manufacturing.
01:11 In 2018, the DOST and MOST will choose cashew nuts as the main extraction of edible oil.
01:20 In order to make an agricultural product profitable,
01:25 if we look at the value chain of our agricultural commodity production,
01:32 there are farmers, processors, and sellers.
01:37 Of course, the ones who earn the most are the sellers.
01:42 But our farmers earn the least, so sometimes, instead of farming, they just quit.
01:50 So maybe, we should appreciate that the production of agricultural products like cashew nuts is very important.
