Would you believe the natural ingredients industry is worth US$400-billion worldwide? Just imagine if we can get even 10% of that, that would be give us an extra 160 billion pesos in change! Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala has said it's high time our local farmers cash in on that lucrative market. We do have some unused agricultural land in Mindanao that I have to check out - maybe we can use some of them to plant these things! Problem is, I am no farmer! For now, lagundi and luyang dilaw are the ones in demand. There's also tamarind. What's good about these products are they're easy to manage and require minimum inputs. Just a food for thought for me. A gentleman farmer in my 50s. That's a good idea!
