RATIONALE

A multi-commodity farming system presents more

advantages to farmers than amono-cropping system. However,

the commodity mix must fit into the particular farmer's

capability, resources, and needs as well as the social,

economic and environmental forces around him.

It is typical of Filipino small farmers, particularly

those in the hinterlands, to strive for self-sufficiency

and self-reliance in their everyday needs. Foremost among

these needs is food. Thus, in the Philippines, many

traditional farmers raise vegetables or fruit trees, a few

chickens or ducks, and two or three pigs, goats or other

ruminants in his piece of land besides the main crop.

Native Chicken(Gallus domesticus)

Philippine native chicken is the common fowl found in

the backyards of most rural households. It is a mixture of

different breeds and believed to have descended from the


2/36

domesticated red jungle fowl. It is estimated that 54.74%

of the total chicken population of the country are Native

Chicken native (UPLB, 2001) distributed as follows: Western

Visayas, 13.32%; Southern Mindanao, 10.63%; Southern

Tagalog, 9.51%; Central Visayas, 10.36; Cagayan Valley,

9.29%.

Philippine chicken production posted a 4.6 percent

growth in 2012 from 4.5 percent in 2011, according to the

report. High growth rates in chicken production were

recorded in Cagayan Valley (10.2 percent), SOCSKSARGEN (9.2

percent), MIMAROPA (8.6 percent), Ilocos Region (8.0

percent), Central Luzon (6.4 percent), and Western Visayas

(6.1 percent) regions.

There is one group of native chicken that stands out

in the country. This is the Darag Native Chicken whose

meat has a unique taste and texture not found in other

native strains. Darag is found in Iloilo, Panay (including

Aklan), Negros, and Guimaras. It has captivated the taste

buds of locals and foreigners alike. Darag native chickens

are major sources of eggs and meat in the rural communities

of Western Visayas and as a source of additional farm

income. It has become an alternative enterprise for

commercial chicken in Western Visayas.


3/36

In general, Aklan is sufficient in meat and other

livestock and poultry products, though in the inventory of

poultry in the year 2000, chicken had a decrease in

population from 886,597 heads of chickens in 1999 to

782,820 heads of chicken in the 2000. Despite the level of

sophistication it has achieved, the local industry is still

faced with problems that deter its further development.

Demand for native chicken has significantly grown in

recent years because of its distinct taste compared to

broilers. It is also well recognized because of its

nutritious value. With the native chickens unquestionable

popularity, the government exerts efforts to improve its

production and marketing.

Native chickens are well known for their adaptability

to local agro-climatic conditions, hardiness, ability to

utilize farm-by-products and resistance to diseases. They

are good breeders, foragers, and efficient mothers. They

are small but active and highly sensitive. Moreover, they

require minimal care, management and inputs.

Papaya (Carica papaya)

Papaya, Papaw or Paw Paw (Australia), Mamao (Brazil),

and Tree Melon are the common names. Caricaceae is its

family name.The papaya is believed to be native to southern

Mexico and neighboring Central America. Papayas have


4/36

exacting climate requirements for vigorous growth and fruit

production. They must have warmth throughout the year and

will be damaged by light frosts.

Papaya is a short-lived, fast-growing, woody, large

herb to 10 or 12 feet in height. All parts contain latex.

The hollow green or deep purple trunk is straight and

cylindrical with prominent leaf scars. Its diameter may be

from 2 or 3 inches to over a foot at the base. The leaves

emerge directly from the upper part of the stem in a spiral

on nearly horizontal petioles 1 to 3-1/2 feet long. The

blade, deeply divided into 5 to 9 main segments, varies

from 1 to 2 feet in width, and has prominent yellowish ribs

and veins. The five-petalled flowers are fleshy, waxy and

slightly fragrant. Some plants bear only short-stalked

female flowers, or bisexual (perfect) flowers also on short

stalks, while others may bear only male flowers, clustered

on panicles 5 or 6 feet long. Some plants may have both

male and female flowers. Hand pollination is sometimes

necessary to get a proper fruit set.

Papayas like to be warm with both sunshine and

reflected heat, so the hottest place against the house

where nothing else seems happy is an ideal location. They

also like to be as free from wind as possible, although

this is not as critical as their need for sun. Papayas can


5/36

be grown successfully in shade, but the fruit is rarely

sweet. They are best planted in mounds or against the

foundation of a building where water can be controlled.

Papayas need a light, well-drained soil. They are easily

killed by excess moisture. The soil needs to be moist in

hot weather and dry in cold weather. Papayas do not

tolerate salty water or soil.

Watering is the most critical aspect in raising

papayas. The plants should be kept on to the dry side to

avoid root rot, but also need enough water to support their

large leaves. The fast-growing papaya requires regular

applications of nitrogen fertilizers but the exact rates

have not been established. Papayas are normally propagated

by seed.

Papayas are ready to harvest when most of the skin is

yellow-green. After several days of ripening at room

temperature, they will be almost fully yellow and slightly

soft to the touch. Dark green fruit will not ripen properly

off the tree, even though it may turn yellow on the

outside. Mature fruit can be stored at 45 F for about

3 weeks. They can also be cooked to make chutney or various

desserts. Green papayas should not be eaten raw because of

the latex they contain, although they are frequently boiled

and eaten as a vegetable


6/36

Coconut(Cocos nucifera)

The Philippines remains as the worlds leading

supplier of traditional coconut products. The industry is

also finding new products and uses for this the Tree of

Life: coco peat, geotextiles, activated carbon and virgin

coconut oil.

The coconut industry is a dominant sector of Philippine

agriculture: (a) of the 12 million hectare of farmlands,

3.25 M hectare is devoted to coconut (b) 68 out of 79

provinces are coconut areas (c) over 324M bearing and non-

bearing trees (d) 3.5M coconut farmers and farm workers are

dependent on the industry (e) annual average of 5.97%

contribution to GVA and 1.14% to GNP (f) 59% share in the

world coconut exports (g) among the top 5 net foreign

exchange earners, average of US$760M per year

The Philippines is the worlds second largest producer of

coconut products, after Indonesia. In 2004, coconut

production reached 14 million tons and covers 3.25 million

hectares. The current yield level is 4.41 tons/hectare.

Forty eight percent of all coconut is planted to Mindanao

but it produces 56% of the total production. Davao region

is the top producer in the island (2.5 M tons) followed by

Zamboanga Peninsula (1.2 M tons).


7/36

Coconut oil, desiccated coconut, fresh coconut and copra

are the primary products of coconut, while by-products

include copra meal, activated carbon, coconut shell

charcoal and coconut coir and coir dust. Coconut end

products include detergents soaps, shampoo, cosmetics,

margarine, cooking oil, confectionery, vinegar and nata de

coco. Coconut intermediates include oleochemicals such as

fatty acids and fatty alcohols.

With the nature and opportunities presented in native

chicken industry and papaya and coconut production, it

opted the proponent to engage in this kind of project.

III. OBJECTIVES

General Objective

IV. MARKETING ASPECT

A. Product

A.1.Native Chicken

Native chicken meat and eggs are preferred by the

Filipinos over the commercial chickens due to their taste

and leanness and the perception that they provide some

health benefits (www.fnri.dost.gov.ph/files/fnri%20files/

abstracts33rd/ nativechickendarag.pdf).

The Philippine native chicken is the common barnyard

fowl which is a mixture of different breeds. They are

small, active, sensitive and capable of great flight when

frightened. The hens are fairly good sitters and mothers.

Given a little of locally available feeds, the native hen

will lay about 40-60 eggs in a year. However, when properly

managed and fed with the right quality and amount of feeds,

the native hen could produce 130-200 eggs in a year.

Unlike the native cocks raised for cock fighting which is

fed with the best feed and sheltered comfortably the native

hens are no properly housed nor given good nests.

Darag is a general term used for the Philippine native

chicken strain indigenous to and most dominant in Western

Visayas. It evolves from the red jungle fowl.

The male locally called labuyo has red wing and hackle

and black feathers and tail. The female, also called Darag,


9/36

is typically yellowish-brown. The comb is single, the

earlobe is whitish and the shank gray both male and female.

The adult male weighs an average of 1.3 kg while the female

weighs an average of 1.0 kg.

The product will be disperse at the public market of

Banga where wholesalers and retailers outlets of native

chicken are located.

A.

2.Papaya

Papayas are spherical or pear shaped fruits that can

be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the

market usually average about 7 inches and weighs about one

pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either

yellow or pink hues when ripe. Inside the inner cavity of

the fruit are black, round seeds encased in glutinous-like

substance. Papayas seeds are edible, although their peppery

flavor is somewhat bitter.

Papaya fruit is consumed immature green or ripe. Green

and ripe fruits have 64% edible portion (shown in the table

below). Green fruits contain more calcium, phosphorus, and

minerals; but ripe fruits contain more carbohydrate and

vitamins A and C.

Papaya has a wide variety of uses. Green fruits are

pickled or cooked as vegetable. It is also a good source of

papain, a proteolytic enzyme, used in the preparation of


10/36

food, beverages, animal feeds, vaccines, and medications

for treatment of hard skin tissues, diphtheria, and

dyspepsia (impaired digestion).

3.Coconut

The name Cocosprobably derives from a Portuguese word

meaning monkey, perhaps because its nut, bearing three

germinating pores, resembles a monkey face. Its specific

name derives from Latin, meaning nut-bearing (from fero= I

bear and nux-nucis= nut).

The coconut palm is a long-lived plant that may live

as long as 100 years; it has a single trunk, 20-30 m tall,


11/36


12/36

However, other parts of this plant are used too,

notably its leaves to make baskets, roofing thatch etc.,

apical buds of adult plants are an excellent palm-cabbage,

an alcoholic drink known as Toddyor palm wine is extracted

from its sugar sap, tapped from the inflorescences by means

of apposite cuttings.

Coconuts are used as whole fruits or, conversely, by

their parts: mesocarp fibres, milk, kernel (or flesh),

husk. The coconut palm thrives on sandy, saline soils; it

requires abundant sun light and regular rainfalls over the

year.

E. Marketing Program

1. Target market

The target market for the production of native

chicken, papaya and coconut are the clients like,

wholesalers, retailers, butchers, restaurants, household

owners and final consumers. The area covered for market is

the whole municipality of Banga.

2. Marketing Arrangements

The schedule of marketing the native chicken will be

every 150 to 180 days or if the birds reached the body

weight of at least 1.0 to 1.2 kg live weight. However,

coconut (mature) and papaya (both young and ripe) will be

sold every three months. Some of it will be introduce


19/36

together with the native chicken as to the purpose is to

compliment to the primary product. In marketing process,

the products will be selling to the wholesalers and

retailers of native chicken (per kg.), papaya (per kg.) and

coconut (per pc.). The products also will be selling

directly to the final consumers like in the neighbor and

other neighboring barangay which is near and or willing and

able to drop by at the project area so that they will not

spend much in going to the market.

3. Prices/Pricing

Selling will be done on credit or cash basis in every

delivery of the product. There will be a 5% discount

granted on who will buy on cash basis.

Care and Management Activities in Raising Native Chicken

Constructing of poultry house

The construction of poultry house will be done by the

hired carpenters. The poultry house is made up of local

materials like bamboo and ambulongthathes for the proper

ventilation and comfort for birds. This will be done 2

weeks before the start of the production.


24/36

Purchase of stocks

Choosing good quality of stocks is very important to

guarantee a maximum profit prospective. The two thousand

(2500) five hundred month-old chicks will be purchased from

a reliable and recognized source.

Purchase of feeds, veterinary medicines and feed supplement

Purchase of feeds such as corn grits and cracked corn

to sustain the needs of the chicks as they get older.

Veterinary and supplements will be provided for the chicks

to ensure that the chicks will be supplied with needed

nutrients for the efficiency of production.

Vaccination

This will be done after 1-2 weeks age of the birds.

The birds will be vaccinated against New Castle Disease

(NCD) using (B1B1Strain) to improve their immunological

resistance. The vaccines will be administered one

drop/chick either intranasal or intraocular.

Rearing

Rearing the birds after 3 months before allowing them

to wander freely but they have a limited space. They will

be semi-confined to find additional feeds, fresh air,

sunshine and they can scratch for food.

The feeding system should be followed in accordance

with their age and weight. For the 1stmonth of feeding, the

chicks will be given corn grits for ration. From 2ndto 3rd

month of age it will be shifted to cracked corn

incorporated with unfilled rice. As they get older, they

will be allowed to get-off their fences and find their own

food.

Water management

Water will always be available at all times and place

in a watering troughs. Watering troughs are located inside

their fences. It is very essential for the birds to be

provided with clean and fresh drinking water every day in

order to satisfy their daily water requirements. Likewise,

it is also done to maintain the normal condition of the

bird during hot weather and also promotes good performance

and faster growth of the birds.

Marketing

The birds will be marketed when they reached at least

1.2 kg live weight. The birds will be sold in live basis.

To attain higher profit, they may be sold to contact buyers

who offer the highest acceptable price per kilogram.


26/36

Record keeping

Recording of daily activities as well as the

production costs and sales of the birds is important in

determining profit or loss and for determining the return

on working capital. Keeping records will be done from the

beginning until the termination of the project as well as

to serve as guide and reference during evaluation.

Cultural management practices in papaya

This section presents the cultural management

practices undertaken during the implementation of the

project.

Seed germination

The papaya seeds will be soaked in water for 3-5 days,

changing the water daily. The seeds will be sown in a

germination tray with moist coconut coir dust and

sterilized garden soil as medium. The germination tray will

be covered with plastic sheet to maintain higher humidity

and temperature. The plastic sheet will be removed once the

seeds start germinating.

Seedling establishment

The germinated seedlings will be transferred to

containers (plastic bags) with sterilized garden soil

mixed. The seedlings will be kept under partial shade and


27/36

will be water every other day. The seedlings will be

hardened 3-5 days prior to field planting.

Land preparation

The land will be prepared prior to planting in order

to provide suitable soil conditions for easy establishment

and subsequent growth of plants. The area will be plowed

and harrowed twice to pulverize the soil.

Transplanting

Transplanting will be done late in the afternoon and

will be watered to avoid transplanting shock; plastic bag

will be removed with the root intact into the soil. The

hole will be completely filled with the topsoil.

Replanting

Replanting will be done one week after transplanting

to replace missing hills.

Watering

Watering will be done to sustain its water requirement

for its growth. During dry season, irrigation will be done

at least once a week. When fruits are already maturing,

water should be kept to the minimum to hasten fruit

maturity.

Fertilizer application

Ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) will be applied during

transplanting with the rate of 50 g per plant. Complete


28/36

fertilizer will be applied when the plants age at 2-6

months after transplanting with the rate of 100 g per

plant.

Insect pest and disease management

This will be done by spaying the plants with

insecticides and fungicides.

Harvesting

The fruits will be harvested when the fruit reaches

its maturity stage, and when the peel color changes from

green to presence of a streak of yellow at the ridges of

the apical end. Harvesting will be done between 9 am to 3

pm to minimize latex flow that will cause injury to the

peel. Dropping of the fruits will be avoided also to

minimize fruit injury and rotting.

Field sorting

This will be done by separating the unmarketable

fruits, damaged, and disease-infected from the marketable

ones.

Washing

Washing of fruits will be done to remove chemical

residues, debris, and more importantly, latex, which may

bring about latex injury.


29/36

Curing

Air drying will be involved in curing for at least 12-

16 hours to remove excessive moisture from the fruit.

Grading

Grading will be done by classifying fruits according

to size or weight.

Marketing

This will be done by selling the papaya fruits to its

designated buyers.

Cultural Management Practices for Coconut

To improve coconut production, the following practices

will be considered:

Tillage

This will be done by cultivating the inter spaces

wherein the main tillage operation will be consist of

plowing and harrowing.

Fertilization

Fertilization will be done by applying the coco trees

with NaCl or salt with 1 kg. per plant.

Harvesting

Harvesting will be done when fruit reaches its

maturity.
