At present, the center implements a DOST-PCAARRD funded extension project to increase the inventory of goats raised in Region 02 and ensure steady food supply. The presence of the canned chevon in different markets means more opportunities for rural-based farmers to increase profit through goat farming.
FOODEX Japan, one of the largest food exhibition is an important venue to introduce the products, aiming for cross-border market expansion for Filipino local foods just like the canned chevon.
