CREES food eye processing on Saipan
The Northern Marianas College Cooperative Research Extension and Education Service is actively pursuing the development of a food processing industry on Saipan by providing technical advice in the CNMI.
The goal for the service is to develop an industry that will enhance economic development through value adding, and development of export opportunities.
Edgar Cocker, product development and marketing specialist, is calling interested individuals to take the opportunity to learn how to commercially process and prolong the shelf life of various local foods.
Technical advice will be shared on how to maintain the natural quality for fruit jams, fruit juices and wines, tuba, pickles, hot pepper paste, noni juices among others.
CREES will also assist with nutritional and microbiological analysis, bar coding, packaging and marking.
