Florendo met with Milagros G. Bagaporo, Plant Manager of Kai-Anya Food, Inc. and discussed plans to pursue several product development plans on RTE\u00a0<em>Arroz Caldo<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A licensed producer of ITDI since 2015, their new plans include product improvement\/ reformulation, packaging system and design integration, production expansion, and market positioning through\u00a0<em>Halal<\/em>\u00a0certification.\u00a0 The possibility of making the product visible in supermarkets is also being eyed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bagaporo with her Q&amp;A Supervisor Marvin N. Malasa expressed eagerness and interest to market a more palatable and nutritious RTE Arroz Caldo and now seeks the assistance of ITDI\u2019s Packaging Technology and Technological Services Divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>They are also aiming to increase volume of production.\u00a0 To do this, Kai Anya is currently building a new facility. Further, a newly approved financial assistance from DOST\u2019s Small Enterprises Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) has enabled it to acquire a water retort, a new addition to their line of production equipment. Presently, product packaging is done through a private toll packing facility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packed in stand-up retort pouches, RTE\u00a0<em>Arroz Caldo<\/em>\u00a0is handy and can be eaten without water or drinkables, and is good for consumption for one year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently this product is produced and sold by Kai-Anya Food, Inc. to DSWD which distributes it as emergency relief goods for victims of disasters\/calamaties in the country.
