Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) entered into a Technology Licensing Agreement (TLA) with Adones Integrated Farm (AIF) on January 20 at the Center for Flexible Learning (CFL) to commercialize pickled food innovations, including Pickled Egg and Pickled Fruits and Vegetables.
Under the agreement, AIF is authorized to adopt, produce, and commercialize technologies developed through MMSUโs research and development initiatives. These innovations are expected to contribute to value addition, improved food preservation, and income generation for emerging enterprises.
The technologies were developed by Dr. Marilou Lucas, Dr. Teresita Pablo, Dr. Lorma Valera, Dr. Felicitas Sanculi, and Mr. Jerson Coloma under a Department of Science and TechnologyโPhilippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD)-funded project aimed at improving processing techniques, extending shelf life, and enhancing the value of local agricultural products.
The TLA was executed in full compliance with Republic Act No. 10055, or the Philippine Technology Transfer Act of 2009, with MMSU securing the required Fairness Opinion Report and Written Recommendation from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Through its technology transfer and incubation programs, MMSU continues to promote the protection, dissemination, and commercialization of its research outputs. The partnership with its incubatee, Adones Integrated Farm, reflects the universityโs strong support for start-ups and local enterprises by bridging research, innovation, and market application.
For Adones Integrated Farm, the licensing agreement provides an opportunity to expand its product portfolio and offer scientifically developed, market-ready pickled products to consumers. This initiative also contributes to national efforts to strengthen the agri-food sector through science, technology, and innovation.
Overall, the Technology Licensing Agreement highlights the importance of compliant, university-led incubation and commercialization initiatives in accelerating innovation and entrepreneurship that support sustainable agricultural development in the region.
