of primary research institutions in the Philippines.
The Chinese scientists stayed in the country
for 12 days, conducting technology investigation to
different research institutes and industrial units of
grain protection products with regard to their grain
production, storage method, and related R&D activities.
After visiting the Bureau, the delegation visited other

City, the Banaue Rice Terraces and Santiago City, the
National Food Authority and Cagayan Valley Integrated
Agricultural Research Center; East-West Seed Co.; research
centers in Los Baños (International Rice Research

of Plant Breeding); and industrial units of grain protection
products like Vitarich, Purina, N-Pal, and Seed Testing
Center.
Heading the Chinese delegation was Mr.
Liang Gou Fa, Assistant Director of the Shijazhuang
Science and Technology Commission. Other members included
