The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA), through its extension program, conducted a Training on Cardboard Making Using Rice Straw for women farmers on July 7, 2026, at the private farm of Ms. Jasmin Nacional in Minoro, San Jose, Camarines Sur.
Designed to promote the productive use of agricultural waste, the training introduced participants to the process of converting rice straw into cardboard through lectures and practical demonstrations. The activity also showcased an alternative use of rice straw that may be explored for livelihood.
Project Leader Lourdes Lobis-Nieva spearheaded the activity together with project members Lourdes Bascuña and Salvacion Eje, with Grace Santelices, Municipal Agricultural Officer of San Jose, Camarines Sur, also in attendance.
Participants were able to learn the basic procedures and techniques in cardboard production using rice straw, providing them with another option for utilizing farm by-products in their respective communities. | 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘙𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘰 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘻𝘢
