The food preservation industry of the Philippines continues to be an aid in safeguarding the
supply of food in the country. Pampanga, being the home of processed meat like tocino,
hotdogs, ham, longganisa, and etc., still upholds this identity with the rest of the food
preservation economies present in the province. This business plan explores the strategies of
one of the producers of crab pastes and other local “sawsawan” in Pampanga and in the
country, the Navarro’s Food International Inc. The purpose of this study is to evaluate current
strategies and propose a strategic business plan in reference to the many indicators that may

Navarro's Food International Inc. is now in its 47th year of operation, and during its early
years, sales started to increase and continued in succeeding years. The owner, Gil Navarro,
started to produce 50 kilos of crab paste, then sold them to the nearby public markets in their
places. Gil Navarro’s efforts paid off when he already began supplying small wholesalers and
small restaurants near in their place. A big opportunity came when the owner became the
As the years pass by, Navarro's already started to produce 100 kilos of crab paste in order
to meet market demand. Navarro's now has other products like burong dalag (fermented
mudfish in rice), burong hipon (fermented shrimp in rice), Acharang papaya (papaya pickles),
bagoong alamang (sautéed shrimp paste) and sweet delicacies. When they started to gain more
profit they already set up a production area near to the house of the owner and starts to hire
people.
Recently, they already changed their company name into Navarro Foods International Inc. in
order to be align in their mission to provide the people or consumers with quality products not
What was once a business which started only in cooking crab paste in order to sustain
the financial needs of the family, targeting solely the ordinary consumers like their neighbors,
friends in the public market, and workmates, grew into a company with a wider product mix and

Navarro’s Food had a 26.78% gross profit margin in 2015. It has also shown 7-10%
margin in sales from 2014-2016. This much figure translates to a stable growth in the company’s
Over the years, it has also received numerous awards, accreditations and certifications
from different quality assurance, manufacturing, and trade agencies. Among these are:

Navarro’s Foods International Incorporation has built strong image over the past years by
providing quality products to their customers. When people want to buy crab paste, it is more
probable that Navarro’s Foods International Inc. is one of their top choices.
However, the industry for crab paste does not narrow down. Instead, it continues to grow

restaurants and pasalubong centers like Nathaniel’s and Susies’ Cuisine are also known in the
regional scenery. This business plan also presents a comparison among Navarro’s competitors.
As the industry grows from household production to a small site production, and later on to
the expansion and acquisition of a new site, Navarro’s and other crab paste manufacturers shall

Development Center (SEAFDEC) are continuously looking for and are implementing possible
solutions to increase crab reproduction and halt illegal fishing and exportation.
Crab paste is regularly consumed by people in the coastal area of China. The fermentation
time plays a key role on the quality of crab paste. Here, we investigated the dynamic evolution
of metabolite profile of crab paste during fermentation by combined use of NMR spectroscopy
and multivariate data analysis. Our results showed that crab paste quality was significantly
affected by fermentation. The quality change was manifested in the decline of lactate, betaine,
pyridinemethanol, and in the fluctuation of a range of amino acids as well as in the accumulation
production and its increased level with fermentation could be considered as a freshness index of
crab paste. These results contribute to quality assessment of crab paste and confirm the
metabolomics technique as a useful tool to provide important information on the crab paste
Preservation methods start with the complete analysis and understanding of the whole food
chain, including growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution; thus an integrated
approach needs to be applied. It lies at the heart of food science and technology, and it is the
main purpose of food processing. First it is important to identify the properties or characteristics
that need to be preserved. One property may be important for one product, but detrimental for
others. (Taylor and Francis group, 2007) Navarro’s products are all preserved but this company
is producing a quality safe products in order for them to satisfy their loyal customers and they
make sure that the expiration date is right and will be disposed if they are already expired.

Navarro Foods International Inc. is known for its Kapampangan delicacies such as Taba Ng

meat and fat use as side dish or ingredient to seafood and pasta dishes such as pancit
palabok, crab paste pasta, spaghetti and crab paste pasta that have served in the plates of
While there are many vendors selling the same products in the market, Navarro's started to
think of a way to stand out among their competitors. The company was a member of Sweets
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which became their advantage against others because
they assure the consumer that their products are of quality standard and are safe. Their direct
competitors include Susie's Cuisine which is also known not only for their pancit and
pasalubongs but also for having good crab paste. Second, Navarro’s is also directly competing
with homemade crab paste producers in Masantol, Pampanga who sells their crab paste in
lower prices because of having poor production and for not being well-known. Their indirect
competitors are those who sells talangka or crab in public markets and those which sell crab
pastes as sides including restaurants like Downtown Cafe located in Nepo Quad.
Navarro's Food International Inc. started as a small business until it became bigger
and has been selling to local households, small grocery stores, supermarkets, and
some small restaurants. Navarro's now targeting other countries like China, UAE,
Hong Kong, Singapore, and etc., to supply their main product which is crab paste as

Navarro’s has differentiated itself from smaller industry players by positioning itself
in more visible locations and where the population density is higher. These
locations include markets and malls. Its exportation practices also claimed a
larger market share for the company, allowing it to continuously grow in the past
Its 2014 and 2015 account showed an almost 2-Million increase in net sales.

Distribution Patterns
Navarro’s Food International Inc. has targeted not only the consumers in the Philippines but
also in other countries. Navarro’s has seen the potential of supermarket tie-ups and has
partnered with different grocery chains in and out of the country since then. This distribution
15 | P a g e
N a v a r r o ’ s F o o d s | 16
scheme has been proven effective for Navarro’s since the supermarket is a one-stop shop for
Also, Navarro’s distribute through food expos or trade fairs in malls and other locations like
SM Supermarket & Hypermarket, CVC Supermarket, The Landmark Trinoma, Rustan &
Shopwise Supercenter, Metro Angeles & Metro Market Market, Sta. Lucia Supermarket, Cherry
Its export markets include Dubai, USA, Australia, Guam, Hongkong, China, & Singapore.
Direct Selling
Navarro’s direct distribution includes the presence of its physical stores in its main
production facility, malls, markets, and kiosks. It also includes direct partnership with restaurants
Indirect Selling
The indirect selling activities of Navarro’s include its exportation, distribution through
supermarkets, third party sellers, retailers, and etc. The mechanism works on a middle party
Navarro’s Food shall continue its trade exhibition practices—that is going to food fairs and
expos. Brand image and industry presence is being built there, thus allowing the target market
know that the company is existing and it has a wide product mix to offer.
With enough capital for paid advertising, Navarro’s may also enter social media advertising,
16 | P a g e
N a v a r r o ’ s F o o d s | 17
Another strong tool for this kind of business is tie-ups. Navarro’s may look into proposing
partnership with local restaurants that currently serve or have plans to serve dishes that use
crab paste as a primary or secondary ingredient. This way, Navarro’s would be able to generate
While there are many competitors at the low price point, both Philippines and international,
there are many direct competitors at Navarro’s Food International Inc. mid and high price point.
This is quite a disadvantage for Navarro’s Food International Inc. because of the number of crab
paste sellers. But at some point, they standout for their advantages such as they provide quality,
safe, and standard products because Navarro’s Food International Inc. is one of the companies
in Pampanga given the privileges and authority to use the official seal of quality and excellence
after Navarro’s has complied with quality requirements on products and processes for the
adaptation and use of the provincial brand. It is also one of the member of Sweets and
Navarro’s competitive position is not on its promotional activities like paid advertising, but on
its continuous aim to be certified and accredited by food processing agencies, proving its
standards and product quality. It also has an advantage when it comes to market penetration as

N a v a r r o ’ s F o o d s | 18
Six months after the implementation of the recommended strategies and programs which
will be tackled in the succeeding pages of this business plan, Navarro’s is projected to increase
sales by as much as 15%, and a total of 25% increase after the first year of strategy
implementation.
This happens while Navarro’s is maintaining its number of factory and office employees,
without the sudden hiring of additional employees. The production is seen to keep its current
system while adding more produce. Since Navarro’s has the proper machines, the extra
production will not greatly harm the maximum working hours of the workers and employees.
strategies allow the basic brand awareness needed by the company to service its market niche.
Aside from distribution in markets and other stores, Navarro’s is joining trade expo and fairs that
both promote the brand and translate promotion into actual sales.
18 | P a g e
N a v a r r o ’ s F o o d s | 19
Since more local restaurants are sprouting like wild mushrooms, the need for local
ingredients that showcase Filipino taste is growing. While it is true that the physical store is
needed in the selling and marketing, strategic alliances help in the no-expense dissemination of
1. Restaurants - Navarro’s may look into proposing partnership with local restaurants that
currently serve or have plans to serve dishes that use crab paste as a primary or
secondary ingredient. This way, Navarro’s would be able to generate stable sales from
the partners.
2. Food fairs and trade expo – this will provide free marketing venue for Navarro’s and a
selling opportunity since the expos and fairs are strategically located in population-dense

Pertinent Note:
The production plan above is simplified according to Navarro’s staff’s description of the
entire process flow. The proposed restructuring however would entail a season-based planning
of raw ingredients acquisition and production. This means that during seasons when crabs are
in bulk supply, production shall be doubled in order to compensate for the times of high demand
and no production.
The process starts in determining the demand for the coming week based on previous
weeks’ sales and pre-orders. According to the person in-charged of sales and production,
Navarro’s usually get more orders for their Premium Crab Pastes packed in 210-gram cans. In a
Navarro’s also maintain a pre-order system with the supermarkets they supply to and with
their other partners. This way, demand and the need for sufficient raw ingredients and other
After determining demand, the people in-charged in production now request for the approval
of the orders of raw ingredients and materials like labels and bottles.
After production, packaged products will now be delivered to their constant distributors,
partners, and new customers. The collection of receivables takes place after and the cycle goes
on.

The bottles used in packaging are also bought in Pampanga, while the labels are
Navarro’s is also adding a new facility to increase its production and sees the
gradual addition of employees and workers, but the company will not hire
average of 100kg of crab paste. Today, Navarro’s is able to store and sell 2,000
pails of its various products, where 1 pail contains 20kg of cooked produce.

The increase in net income from 2014 to 2015 is caused by the increase in production. As
seen in the table, the cost of goods sold increased from 17-million in 2014 to 20-million in 2015.
The gross income and income from operations also increased, while other expenses remained
constant. Since more was produced, more was also returned to the company at a marginal
positive net income for the company wherein cost of goods sold and other expenses do not
exceed revenues or total sales. The researchers determined how profitable the company is
through comparative study of profit ratio and gross income ratio from 2014 up to 2015 financial
statements.
In 2018, the total sales will be ₱23,926,910.00 with a ₱17,197,457.00 cost of goods sold in
the same year, causing a ₱4,102,642.00 net cumulative earnings. In 2019, Navarro’s attained
net earnings will be ₱6,179,354.00 with ₱27,860,860.00 sales and ₱20,400,839 cost of goods

Among the mentioned reasons for this initially high turnover are 1) applicants do not qualify
to the standards of office and clerical work; and 2) applicants do not see themselves as part of
the production.
The rest of the operations in human resource is stable. The study of the human resource of
the company is limited to these data which were the only information provided by the company.

The study and interview with the people of Navarro’s allowed the researchers to identify the
following problems:
1. lack of proper internal management of its owner to tracking of records especially in their
export activities
3. lack of production planning (no production and selling during rainy days)
XIII. Recommendations
Although the household setting of the company has allowed it to continue without proper
documentation, marketing and selling strategies (most importantly in the export market), its
continuous growth calls for the need of a more systematic management and an integrated
marketing strategy.
Since Navarro’s management system is not organized and staffs lack proper training to
restructuring where the owner/manager maintains his position with a key person working as his
right hand. The key person shall have the proper knowledge on finance and accounting, human
resource, and product manufacturing to be able to oversee the entire system. Staffs shall also
Next, Navarro’s shall hire a marketing consultant or a project-based marketer who will
improve their marketing mix and selling propositions. After which, the activities may be

N a v a r r o ’ s F o o d s | 36
There shall also be a separate department for export and OFW store owners relations
where the export activities, documentation, expansion, and etc., shall be managed accordingly
The company shall also see the opportunity in doing business tie-ups and partnerships. This
action will bring more stable sales for the company, thus a strengthened brand image.
Lastly, since there is no supply of crabs during lean season, Navarro’s manufacturing and
exportation stops. This results to yet another lean season of sales. The researchers recommend
the overproduction of crab pastes whenever supply is abundant. The increased production will
1.) decrease overall production costs and 2.) allow Navarro’s to stock reasonable amount of
products readily available even during lean season, when raw materials are not available for
production. The excess in present supply would compensate the slack in supply for future
demand
The increased production is aligned with the company’s acquisition of a new production site
