These days, when we hear Nueva Ecija, the first things that come to mind are the Minalungao national Park and its limestone rock formations and bamboo rafts. but tourism isn’t always about adventure. It can also be educational, reflecting the way of life of the locals. and in Nueva Ecija, much of the culture is agriculture.
Agriculture has been a major contributor in the development of the Philippine economy. At present, it shares the spotlight with services and manufacturing as the basis of the country’s economic growth. visiting areas in the north and learning more about agriculture and how it can even more help the economy became one of the highlights of Lakbay Norte6, a media tour planned by the North Philippines visitors Bureau (NPVB), a non-stock, non-profit organization of various Convention & visitors Bureaus (CVBs) all over North Philippines.
If you are interested in farming, here are some of the sites in Nueva Ecija that might pique your interest.

1. PMP PARADISE FARM
Founded by major Pablo Pagtalunan as an agro-reforestation project in general Tinio 19 years ago, PMP Paradise farm offers immersive trips that allow visitors to experience farm works and activities first-hand. learn the different fruit tree varieties and how to grow them or feed animals like carabao and ostrich. activities that pals and family members can try and enjoy are tree planting, fruit and vegetable picking, fishing (you may ride a floating bahay kubo while doing so), making palitaw sa linga and nilupak, horseback riding, and sheep herding. Roam around the farm via carabao cart ride, horseback riding, or walking.
The place is continuing to develop into what is looking like a diverse theme park with hotel and resort facilities, eventually ushering in more tourists.
2. national FOOD AUTHORITY GROUNDS
Learn more about agriculture – its history, tools and equipment used through time, and different types of grains and crops – by checking out the NFA Museum. national Food Authority grounds is located in Cabanatuan City.
3. PHILRICE research INSTITUTE
The Philippine Rice research Institute (PhilRice) occupies a 90-hectare compound in Muñoz. It is a government-corporate facility that initiates and showcases rice research to better understand and appreciate the importance of rice and its production and labor force – from the scientists to the farmers.
The institute offers scientific exploration through visits to any of these areas:
Gene Bank, which houses more than 12,000 seed collections;
Biotech Laboratory, which shows rice breeding;
Field Experiments and demonstration Areas, which give visitors the privilege to see the various experiments they are conducting;
Rice Chemistry and Food science Laboratory, which allows guests to see how the science of rice grain quality testing works;
Screenhouse Facilities, where people can discover which rice varieties will make the cut.
Visitors can also enjoy nature while being transported around the verdant compound and appreciate farming technology brought about by the farm mechanization and post-harvest machines. other facilities and activities include Rice science Museum, agricultural adventures (rice planting and harvesting), art appreciation (rice paddy art, rice straw art sculpture, 200-ft wall mural about the transformation of rice production in the Philippines), boating, fishing, and kayaking.
4. PUNO ICE cream PLANT
Founded in 1960 by couple Simeona and Atanacio Puno, this famous and trusted ice cream brand has already established a good reputation in the ice-cream making industry and is aptly dubbed as the makers of quality made-to-order ice cream and sherbet in Cabanatuan City. My favorite pick was the Cheese Cashew Macapuno flavor. In fact, I finished off 3 cups! Don’t deprive yourself of this amazing and refreshing dessert/snack.
Address: Maharlika Highway, Bitas, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija
5. CAFFE LA TEA
This isn’t really agri per se, but we need a food stop in this list! Although Caffe La Tea has been serving several international dishes, they showcase some local ingredients too including Cabanatuan’s own longganisa bototay and what they call “chiz buco!”
Originally established in Cabanatuan City, Caffe La Tea has been acquiring attention from people who are searching for a unwinding and homey catching up, bonding, and even studying place. It is now expanding to other locations outside Nueva Ecija, reaching new markets. The place is an easy choice if you are on the lookout for alternative cafes or dessert place. The drinks and food choices are very affordable and at par with those other established brands in terms of quality of presentation og smagen.
6. Milka Krem -anlægget
Hvis du foretrækker mejeriprodukter, som mig, vil du meget værdsætte Milka Kreme. De fleste af de solgte produkter er lavet af frisk og naturlig ingrediens. Der er et forarbejdningsanlæg direkte bag butikken, og du kan se, hvordan Buffalo/Carabaos mælk behandles for at opretholde og bevare dens friskhed. Nogle af de solgte produkter er aromatiseret mælk, is, ost, kage og yoghurt.
7. Chanos Chanos
Dette er bare en simpel familiedrevet madbås i Science City, men innovation er stadig åbenbar. Fra selve navnet, som er det videnskabelige navn på mælkefisk eller bangus, får du ideen om, hvad denne fødevarevirksomhedsinstitutions vigtigste ingrediens er. Bestseller -produktet er den bagt bangus, men hvad der gør Chanos Chanos bemærkelsesværdigt er, hvordan de har brugt bangus som nøgleingrediens og kødudskiftning i retter som spaghetti og nachos. Det er ikke kun sundt, men også budgetvenligt.
8. Science City Tour
Mange af de ovenstående steder er en del af Science City, men vi føler, at vi stadig har brug for at dedikere en separat indrejse til det, fordi der stadig er meget mere at se. Hele byen Muñoz kan enten sammenlignes med et ekspansivt videnskabsbibliotek og laboratorium. Tro på dens titel bidrager Science City meget til udviklingen inden for landbrugsvidenskab og teknologi gennem forskellige forsknings- og udviklingscentre og andre lignende institutioner i byen.
Andre bemærkelsesværdige destinationer er Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) og One Town One Product Philippines (OTOP Philippines) Pasalubong Center.
