THE Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) said the University of Tokyo will study the Philippine sugar industry to determine ways to use sugar byproducts more intensively, following the signing of a memorandum of agreement on March 21.
In a three-year partnership, which may be extended for another three, the SRA and the university will entered into a partnership to share technical know-how, specifically in determining ways to achieve “high-level utilization” of sugar by-products and to assess “the future value of the sugarcane industry through technology assessments such as life cycle assessment.” — Kyle Aristophere T.
