May temang, “May Money sa Mani: Revitalizing Peanut Industry through S&T Commercialization,” ang FIESTA ay isinasagawa sa Cagayan State University-Carig Campus sa Enero 24–25, 2024. Ito ay nagpapakita ng peanut R&D outputs ng consortia sa Cagayan Valley at ang Rehiyon ng Ilocos sa mga magsasaka, mamumuhunan, negosyante, at iba pang stakeholder.

“Ang FIESTA na ito ay isang pagkakataon para sa ating mga stakeholder na talakayin ang mga hamon at tuklasin ang mga sustainable na solusyon na makapagpapalakas sa industriya ng mani,” sabi ni Executive Director Reynaldo V. Ebora ng Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development ng Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) sa kanyang pangunahing mensahe na inihatid ni DOST-PCAARRD Applied Communication Division (ACD) Director Marita A. Carlos.

Tinalakay din niya na sa pamamagitan ng Industry Strategic S&T Program (ISP) ng DOST-PCAARRD para sa Legumes, umaasa ang Konseho na mapanatili ang pagkakaroon ng mga de-kalidad na binhi, bawasan ang insidente ng mga peste at sakit ng insekto, at mabawasan ang pagkalugi pagkatapos ng ani. Dagdag pa niya, target ng programa ang pagtaas ng pambansang ani mula 1.24 tonelada hanggang 3.0 tonelada bawat ektarya (t/ha) para sa industriya ng mani.

Inaasahan din ni Dr. Ebora na ang Peanut FIESTA ay makakapagbigay inspirasyon sa partisipasyon ng mga local government units, investors, entrepreneurs, at policymakers at iba pang stakeholders na may layuning makamit ang food security at higit na mapabuti ang industriya ng mani.

Sa technology forum na ginawa, ipinaalam sa magsasaka ang sitwasyon ng industriya; teknolohiya ng produksyon; pati na rin ang teknolohiya sa postharvest at pagproseso, kabilang ang marketing. Ibinida rin ang pagtatayo ng walong teknolohiya ng mani na handa para sa komersyalisasyon sa mga potensyal na mamumuhunan sa ikalawang araw ng FIESTA.

Iba’t ibang produkto at teknolohiya ng mani ang makikita sa exhibit. Bukod dito, nakahanay din sa mga aktibidad ang Technology to People media conference, farmer’s forum, cookfest, at iba pang pocket event na nagtatampok ng mani.

Ang Peanut FIESTA ay pinamumunuan at inorganisa ng Cagayan Valley Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (CVAARRD) at ng Ilocos Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (ILAARRDEC).

Ang FIESTA ay isang Intellectual Property Office (IPO)-registered technology promotion at commercialization platform na pinasimulan ng DOST-PCAARRD. Nilalayon nitong bigyang kapangyarihan ang mga magsasaka at mangingisda na mapabuti ang kanilang kabuhayan gayundin ang pagtutugma ng mga generator ng teknolohiya sa mga target na adopters. #
