Two weeks ago, I posted a challenge to followers of this page to produce samples of a locally-made Energy Powerbar made out of puffed Organic Brown, Red and Black Rice.
It was aimed at adding value to the Organic Rice of Mindanao farmers and establishing a new product which would create jobs and income opportunities.
Today, I received three samples which used puffed Organic Brown, Red and Black Rice in Coffee, Chocolate and Fruit flavors.
The powerbars were prepared by a Davao City-based food company with the capacity to mass-produce these.
Another set of samples were submitted in the office of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) in Davao City.
Next week, I will ask experts to do a taste-test of the energy powerbars.
When produced commercially, the Energy Powerbars could create a new market for Mindanao’s Organic Rice.
