“The benefit of attending both of these courses, especially the intermediate course, helped me gain more in-depth knowledge of processing and production of soy beverage category and the science and functionality of the soybeans and their impact on the quality of the product has been the most useful.”
“The program enhanced my ability to understand the basic traits of soybean structure, properties, and how this food brings sustenance for every consumer. As part of the company’s finance team, I should be conscious of the quality of the soybean we produce, not only by looking on its physical appearance but also its chemical composition that enable us to reach our expected yield and production output.”
