THE ISABELA State University partnered with the Sagittarian Agricultural Philippines, Inc. to produce canned goods to boost the food processing in the province.

ISU on Tuesday said that its Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Project will help the corporation in developing its canned chicken products.

The company said it needs to innovate and capture a bigger market that’s why it tapped ISU through the Provincial Science and Technology Center – Isabela.

“The canned products will be sold as ready-to-eat products and designed to be responsive to the present needs of the consumers,” ISU said on its website.

“The company will utilize its own locally produced meat, hence [the] cost of production will be lower as compared to other food processors. Aside from developing canned products, ISU-ATBI will also provide services in brand marketing, e-commerce, and financial management,” it added.

ISU said that the partnership also aims to boost the food processing industry in the province.
