CLSU Secures P7.4M Innovation Grant from DEPDev to Boost Food MSMEs in the Region

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) through the College of Home Science and Industry-Department of Food Science and Technology (DFST) received a financial grant from the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev), amounting to P7,446,200.00, to enhance its capacity to support local food businesses in the region. The funding for the project, "Enhancement of the CLSU Sensory and Consumer Science Laboratory for Accelerated Food Product Development for Central Luzon MSMEs," will be utilized to support at least 70 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in developing and refining new food products, helping them become more competitive in the market. According to Dr. Joel G. Juvinal, current Head of DFST and the designated Project Leader for the grant, one of its objectives is the acquisition of advanced equipment and new tools that will directly support the laboratory's efforts to provide high-level scientific and technical assistance to its partner MSMEs. The project aims to significantly reduce product development failures and increase commercialization success. This will be done by upgrading laboratory facilities and equipment, offering structured sensory and consumer testing services, and building a regional database of consumer insights. “It will serve as a sustainable platform for industry-academe collaboration, empower local food entrepreneurs, and contribute to regional economic development through innovation-driven support for small-scale food enterprises in Central Luzon,” Dr. Juvinal said. Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, University President, extended his sincere gratitude to the DepDev for supporting the university's mission to improve the community and pledged the responsible and efficient use of the grant to ensure the greatest benefit for the region’s food industry. The grant received was one of the 11 new projects approved for funding under the 2025 Innovation Grants by DEPDev, which are designed to strengthen local communities and industries, enhance public service delivery, restore and protect vital ecosystems, and advance safety and resilience.
