I. Rationale Increase in the production of food like vegetables and fruit as well as the raising
of farm animals had marked Batangas City through the efforts of the Office of
City Veterinarian and Agricultural Services. The continuous patronages of the
farmers in new technologies help them to raise their harvest. However, the
increase in harvest doesn’t mean that there is increase in their income. There are
times that the harvest spoiled due to the lack of facilities to process those
harvests.
The only solution to this problem is to process these harvests to preserve and
make it last longer compare to its natural rate of spoilages. To address this
problem, OCVAS and other government agencies established a Shared Service
Facilities where there are available equipment that will let this harvest increase
the value added of the harvest. However, there are still lacks of idea on what
product should be produced out of these facilities.
On the midst of the operation, this shared service facilities were granted to
specific organization and cooperatives that will be in-charge in managing this
facilities. In addition, this SSF will also be available to other users but they need
to pay minimum amount for the maintenance of the equipment.
One of these is the Batangas City Rural Improvement Club. BCRIC is a federation
of different improvement clubs in Batangas City that manages the Pasalubong
Center located near in Batangas Basilca Church.
Since this facility was granted to the federation, they will be in-charged of
managing for their own usage as well as for other entity who will rent. Herewith,
the need for conducting a feasibility study arises. It is very important to ascertain
the viability of the three aspect of the project; technical, financial and marketing.
The product will be sold mainly within Batangas province specifically to the
pasalubong centers. However, if need arises, these will also be distributed within
CALABARZON especially if there are a lot of inventory. The pickled papaya will be
bought per bottle weighing 120 g while the dried mango will be bought in a
vacuum sealed plastic weighing 100 g. The size of the product is based on the
market. The pickled papaya has a price of PHP50.00 while dried mango is
PHP50.00 also. The primary strategy to be utilized by BCRIC to promote the
products is the trade fair which will incur an expense amounting to PHP2,000. On
the other hand, rentals of Shared Service Facilities will not be promoted since the
Manufacturing of the two products will be on daily basis for Pickled papaya while
weekly basis for dried mango. For pickled papaya, within a year it is estimated to
produce 150 bottles per day or 43,200 bottles per year (using 288 days annual
basis). Meanwhile BCRIC is expected to produce 1000 packs of dried mango per
week or 54,000 packs for the first year of operation. Within a week, rentals for
SSF is available except for Heavy Duty Dehydrator during Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday, vacuum sealer during Thursday, Friday, and Saturday- 9:00-10:00
AM and heavy duty sterilizer Monday to Saturday 3:00-4:00 PM.
It is expected to have an net income of PhP944, 250 for pickled vegetables and
PhP1, 508, 322 for dried fruits on the first year of operation. The rentals for the
SFF are included in the computation of the net income for two products.
IV. Current Market Trends The Global Fruit and Vegetables Processing industry has experienced consistent
and Opportunities demand over the five years to 2016, as economies of every size continue to
consume processed fruits and vegetable products and consumer spending
increases. Demand has grown particularly faster in developing economies as
industrial growth has translated into greater urbanization, higher per capita
incomes and expansion in the size of the middle class. As the global middle class
has grown, it has demanded larger quantities of higher quality and more-diverse
food. Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables can be attributed to more
households becoming health centered. While competition from fresh produce
poses a threat, demand for industry staples such as juice and tomato-based
products continues to grow across the global market.
As a result, IBISWorld expects the Global Fruit and Vegetables Processing industry
to grow at an annualized rate of 2.0% over the five years to 2016. In 2016,
industry revenue is forecast to grow 1.5% to $274.0 billion. Industry revenue is
expected to expand at an annualized rate of 3.0% over the five years to 2021,
reaching $317.1 billion. Industry demand is expected to increase as producers
focus on nutritious ingredients and less invasive processing techniques in order
to keep products as organic as possible. In addition, while the bulk of fruit and
vegetable processing is currently done in North America and Europe, industry
production is expected to steadily shift to other parts of the globe, particularly
China. While China currently produces about half of the world's vegetables and
one-third of the world's fruit (by tonnage), the majority of this output is
unprocessed. As Chinese consumers increase their demand for industry products,
Chinese fruit and vegetable processing is expected to expand. This trend is
expected to continue across the emerging economies.
