They do not have to worry anymore about the molds that attack their raw materials in making brooms even during the rainy season.


The reason: A furnace-type dryer has been provided the town’s Tiger Grass Processing Facility (TGPF), thanks to the Los Baños-based Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), a DOST agency.

It is the wavy substance found on the surface of bamboo branches and twigs. It inhibits the adhesion of finishing materials.


Those involved in the bamboocraft industry usually exert much effort in manually scraping the hard covering of bamboo branches. 


But thanks to a scientific headway achieved by researcher Josefina G. Palisoc of the Los Baños-based -DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), cutin can now be conveniently removed by applying a chemical called disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT).

An essential oil extractor has  been specially designed for them to boost the town’ booming ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) industry.


Although small in area (2,500 hectares), Anao can boast of a profitable essential plant oil business.


Consider: about 10,000 ylang ylang ("ilang-ilang" in Filipino) dominate the town’s landscape.
