DOST Technical Team Visits GH Orchard

As part of its thrust to establish other productive activities for Agro-Harvesters Multi-Purpose Cooperative (AHMPC), AHMPC coordinated with the Department of Science and Technology for technical assistance in food processing and water treatment and bottling facilities in the Orchard. AHMPC identified other business ventures for the cooperative while waiting for the fruiting stage of the mango trees. The said business ventures were initially agreed by GH management and AHMPC to jointly explore other resources in the area for productive use. 

DOST Technical Staff was composed of Engr. LUIS I. RIVERA, Science Research Specialist, Technological Services Division & Industrial Technology Development Institute, and MR. MELCHOR C. VALDECANAS, Chief, Food Processing Division, Industrial TEchnology Development Institute.


The highlight of their visit to the Orchard (last September 9, 2010) was to conduct a Technical Assessment of the proposed site of the AHMPC planned Food Processing Plant and the Water Purification and Treatment Plant (using the state of the art technology to transform the fresh mountain spring water into an ozonized water wherein once used it can removed bacteria, viruses, and all other waterborne decreases up to 98%. Thus, if taken as a drinking water it kills the bacteria and viruses right there in the body of any human being).


The assessment included the sight investigation of the water source and water tank, the velocity of water flowing from the mountain and the volume of water it can supply to be able to meet the water requirements of the water processing and treatment plant as well as the for the putting up of a mini-hydro electric plant in the area.

Initial findings of the team reveal a very high promising success for the project identified.
