The Department of Science and Technology: Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) of the Philippines will work with the Davao Food Terminal Complex (DFTC) to reduce food spoilage. The DOST plans to improve packaging technology and logistics. The project is expected to reduce the spoilage of various commodities such as pomelo, durian, mango, mangosteen, lettuce, and broccoli. This project aims to reduce product damage and spoilage by at least 20% of reported losses. The Philippines is stagnating in durian production, but there is a window of opportunity to come into export markets between the Thai and Malaysian seasons. Due to favorable climatic conditions, Durian's potential is significant and could lead to higher profit margins for Philippine farmers.
