UMILI joins the Benchmarking Activity in Nueva Ecija last September 8-11, 2026, together with the Taiwan Technical Mission Project in the Philippines .

Umili was able to explore valuable practices in postharvest management, product development, food processing, commercialization, and enterprise strengthening.

We visited the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech), where we learned about the production and processing of High Value Crops, as well as solar-powered agricultural machinery and technologies.

Followed by a visit to Central Luzon State University (CLSU), where they explored the Research and Innovation Center, gained insights into innovative agricultural and food technologies, and learned about Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and food safety requirements toward HACCP registration. We also had the opportunity to try CLSU’s innovative tilapia ice cream, showcasing how agricultural products can be transformed into unique value-added products. 🍦🐟

The benchmarking concluded at AJEE Foods, an FDA-certified food company, where we gained hands-on experience in garlic processing and value addition. We learned how to prepare garlic chips, pickled garlic, pickled garlic with apple c***r vinegar, mushroom chili garlic, and chili garlic oil, while gaining valuable insights into proper food processing, safety, and product development. 🧄🌶️

Our sincere appreciation to PhilMech, CLSU, and AJEE Foods for welcoming the team and sharing their knowledge and expertise.

Special thanks to Taiwan Technical Mission for making the benchmarking activity possible, it provided us a practical knowledge and inspiration to explore new opportunities.

Together, we learn, innovate, and create greater opportunities for our garlic farmers and entrepreneurs. 🧄🌱

**Garlic farmers is our mission, value adding is our vision.**

✨INCUBATEE SPOTLIGHT✨

What started as an academic project is now becoming an opportunity to turn local ingredients into something with greater market potential. 🧄

For Nicole Althea Pambid of UMILI Gourmet Salt, the journey began in February 2026 with an idea developed through research, product development, and teamwork. Today, that idea has grown into a food processing venture offering gourmet salt blends infused with different aromatics for distinctive and flavorful seasoning.

Through UMILI Gourmet Salt, Nicole aims to create affordable, locally inspired products while promoting the use of local ingredients and supporting local agriculture. As a young entrepreneur, she continues to improve the business while balancing school responsibilities, production, and product promotion, learning from teamwork and customer feedback along the way.

📍 UMILI Gourmet Salt is available at the White Gold Heritage Incubation Center, located at the La Tabacalera Compound, Gen. A. Luna St., Laoag City 2900, in front of Museo Ilocos Norte. For inquiries, you may contact them through landline at (077) 677-3677.

Support local products. Support the people and communities behind them.

Garlic farmers is our Mission, Value adding is our Vision.
