What is FIC?
The Regional Food Innovation Center (FIC) is established in each region of the country to serve as a hub for innovations, R&D, and support services for value-adding of fresh produce and development of processed foods. It is envisioned that through the Center, innovative technologies, relevant support services, technical expertise, necessary infrastructures and facilities will be more accessible for MSMEs in the urban centers and countryside for a more effective technology application, deployment (transfer), and commercialization for sustained economic growth and productivity.
