Exploring Anabo: The under-utilized Minor Forest Product in Apayao
This project will investigate the importance and potential of the Anabo shrubs as an underutilized non-timber forest product in enhancing the production of a sustainable, quality fiber to support the textile industry of the region. Specifically, it aims to survey, map and document the Anabo (Abroma augusta) in the Province of Apayao; morphologically characterize and study the phenology of Anabo (Abroma augusta) Naturally Growing in Apayao Province. The total cost of the project is PhP 937,000.00 funded by DOST-CAR (LGIA) with a duration of two years (January 2022-January 2023). The expected output is standardized fiber to support the Natural Textile Fiber Innovation Hub in Apayao (NTFIH).
