Abstract

“Development of high value-adding technologies and utilization of local resources in developing regions”. The Value-adding Technologies Program addresses the utilization of indigenous regional resources in Asia and the development of high value-adding technologies. To ensure high quality products and stable food value chains, we implement research on the identification of regional food resource characteristics, the development of effective food processing technologies, and the elucidation of customer needs. The program also supports rural development by utilizing regional resources in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. To achieve our goals, we conduct the following five research projects.
