Several years back, I was invited by a business partner who is member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, upon invitation of then President GMA to find out business opportunities in agriculture. We thus visited CLSU and Phil Carabao Center and Philrice. It was rather surprising that many of the work of CLSU have been unutilized by the rest of the agricultural community
We were surprised that a good % of what we consider beef are actually carabeef. Our experience with carabao meat has been unpleasant because the law prescribes that only 13 year old or above carabaos can be slaughtered for meat. But young carabaos from India are as good as any beef.
