government personnel. The University also exerts serious efforts
towards streamlining its Research, Development and Extension (RD&E)
Program. The two major research and extension thrusts are: Coffee
RD & E and Urban Agriculture RD&E

INTRODUCTION

Research at the CaviteStateUniversity began with the conversion
of IndangRuralHigh School into DonSeverinoAgriculturalCollege in
1964. Since then The Research Center has evolved to function as
one of the trilogy roles of the University. To date, the University is
the seat of the national research, development and extension for
coffee–a status bestowed by the Department of Agriculture
Bureau of Agricultural Research.

The Research Center (RC) exerted serious efforts
towards streamlining the Research, Development and Extension
Program by establishing a strong and effective research program
aimed to generate innovative and viable technologies useful to farmers
and other clienteles. This is done with the goal of improving their
standard of living. The University’s research program focused on
coffee research, development and extension. However, to
accommodate the ever increasing need for RD&E activities brought
about by the development of the university into a comprehensive
one, these thrusts have become more elaborated through the
“Faculty and Students Research Capability Enhancement Program”
that has been approved by the University Board of Regents in 2004.

The university has maintained ties and established
collaborative projects with international and local agencies with
emphasis on plantation crops, high value fruits and vegetables,
ornamentals, herbs and spices and poultry and livestock among others.
