"Stevia has great potential in the foreign market," said Dr. Maria Elena Quimio of the Bicolandia Greenfields Development Organization (BIGFIS) during a project monitoring visit conducted by BAR in Bicol.
Stevia is a natural sweetener made from the stevia plant (Stevia rebaudiana). Native to tropical and subtropical regions in North and South America particularly in Paraguay, it is mainly grown for its leaves as a sweetener and sugar substitute. In the Philippines, some farmers drawn to the herbal medicine trend have started to experiment planting stevia in small areas.

kakawate as insecticide
Madre de cacao is a nitrogen-fixing tree. In some areas, it is referred to as a quick-stick due to its characteristic of growing almost right away just by cutting it and directly planting it in the ground. It is a fast growing tree with a maturity height of 10 meters (33 feet). It is adaptable to almost any soil environment, including infertile soils. It is tolerant to salt spray and water logging. It can tolerate drought for up to 6 to 8 months. This tree can be potentially weedy, but rarely causes a problem. Its ubiquitous characteristic makes it a good alternative for feeds due to its availability in almost all areas in the country.
