How these institutions can help our project:

 Feasibility Study of Malunggay (Moringa Oliefera) Butter Cookies (2011):

FNRI can help us with the confirmation that our product can indeed alleviate malnourishment in our country. Meanwhile, ITDI can help us with the packaging and the marketability of our product. This will make sure our product gets sold. And lastly, TAPI can help us in making sure were not being copied by someone else.
