                    [Summary] => Siling labuyo. Lanzones. Neem tree. Sineguelas. Acacia. Guava.


What do these and 20 other trees and plants have in common?

These are dye-yielding species and as such hold a potentially colorful niche in the natural dyes export market.

Their commercial potentials have been found in an extensive study done by researchers of the DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI).
