The Department of Agriculture (DA) is launching the P25-million Biotechnology Research Fellowship Program (BRFP) to develop better crops, improve livestock and generate higher fisheries output. BRFP will complement the work of the Agricultural Biotechnology Center (ABC) established 2005, which covers laboratories at the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) for crops, Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) for livestock and the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI)/Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) for fisheries. The program, crafted by the DA's Biotechnology Program Office (BPO), will allow the research fellows to work in these state-of-the-art laboratories on areas determined by the BPO to be crucial to the development of new agricultural biotechnology products.
