The Department of Trade and Industry, through the Negosyo Center Calabanga, in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Calabanga and Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, successfully conducted a Skills Training on Crab Paste Processing on May 22, 2025, at Calabanga, Camarines Sur.
The training aimed to enhance the technical skills of 30 crab meat pickers and food processors who are members of the Sta. Rosa de Lima โ23โ SLP Association from Bonot, Calabanga. These participants are beneficiaries of the Department of Social Welfare and Developmentโs Sustainable Livelihood Program, which supports marginalized households and communities through viable economic interventions.
This initiative is part of the continuing efforts of the said government agencies to promote local enterprise development and improve the quality and marketability of processed food products in the community.
Associate Prof. Rocelyn M. Imperial of the CBSUA Department of Food and Technology served as the resource person for the training. Prof. Imperial guided the participants through the step-by-step process of producing spicy and plain varieties of crab paste. She also shared practical knowledge and expert insights that may improve their techniques in food processing and product packaging.
Through the collaborative efforts of DTI, LGU Calabanga, CBSUA, and DSWD, the training showcased a shared commitment to uplifting local livelihoods through food processing innovations. Such initiatives pave the way for improved economic opportunities and a better quality of life for program beneficiaries. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ฏ ๐. ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ; ๐๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐บ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ป, ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ
