7. Why Corn?
Tagged as leading corn industry hub, Cagayan Valley is
contributing 23.9% to the National Corn Production (PSA, 2014)
Despite the region’s huge production volume, farmers are faced with
problem of low profitability due to poor grain value
Improving value of corn harvest requires product development and
processing of attractive products for increased income and utilization
