So this are the purpose that we conduct this study.

Review Of Related Literature

Lanzones fruit is very popular fruit in southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, malaysia, Phillipines and etc.These kind o fruits grow wild and in cultivated plantations in southeast asia. In the Philippines, over 75 % of all lanzones is grown in Sulu province, a revelation for me as I always thought Laguna and the Southern Tagalog region was the primary area of cultivation outside of Camiguin in Misamis Oriental.
