A new international study has shed light on one of the most pressing threats to coconut across the Pacific—the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB). 

The Visayas State University (VSU) and the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) have formalized an agreement to conduct a study that will revisit and profile rice-based products in Leyte which will open opportunities for food innovation and market expansion in the province. 

Visayas State University (VSU) further cemented its presence in the global academic stage as three of its master’s students were accepted into highly selective international programs in Indonesia and Japan.
