During her interview with "Panel Magik" on July 14, 2023, engineer Vicnie Léandre revealed that the Chibas laboratory, which is affiliated to Quisqueya University, and the International Labor Organization are carrying out research into the preservation and processing of breadfruit. According to her, this research aims to alleviate the waste of this fruit, which ripens rapidly after being picked. We're thinking about preserving the fruit to add to its value, and we want to make products that are interesting enough to put on the market", she said.

These institutions, as part of this research have developed products made from the breadfruit. "We have developed five of them. One of them is a lam juice powder; we made an instant tontonm powder; we thought of making breadfruit for frying", she added.
