Rationale

• Two-thirds of Philippine poor are found in rural
  areas. Many of them are found in the uplands,
  agricultural and coastal areas, engaged in
  subsistence farming and fishing.
• Extending support to this sector is one strategy
  to improve their agricultural productivity,
  thereby increasing their income and minimizing
  their dependence.

10
Rationale

• This will lessen the incidence of dysfunctional
  family, juvenile delinquencies, stow away kids
  because of poverty and street children beggars.
• Another strategy to help the poor is to enhance
  the poors productive assets by facilitating
  access to financial services, mobilization of
  internal funds and sourcing of external funds to
  finance income-generating and livelihood
  projects.

11
Rationale cont.

• In the absence of employment opportunities in the
  formal market, the poor engage in multiple micro
  or livelihood enterprises.
• What the poor needs is access to continuous
  financial services credit, small savings
  instrument and micro-finance.

12
Rationale cont.

• Hence this proposal is being submitted to access
  funds for the rice and palay trading of the
  Kalinga ng Ama Shelter for Children.
• This project is being proposed so that whatever
  income generated from this project will be used
  to sustain part of the operational expenses of
  the Center since it has no regular supporters or
  donors that will sustain its day to day
  operation.

13
Rationale cont.

• Present donations come from concerned citizens,
  churches, church members, family members and
  friends.
• The project hopes to generate income that will
  enhance the financial capacity of the Center to
  provide quality service to its clientele and for
  expansion.
• At present, the Center is supporting 32 street
  kids and 20 staff.

  continually implement The following programs and
  services which are being rendered to the children

WHY RICE AND PALAY TRADING ?

• Pangasinan is basically an agricultural province
  with a total land area of 536, 818 hectares. From
  the total land area, 373,720 hectares are
  agricultural with the following land
  disaggregation Croplands gets 238,608 hectares,
  pastureland gets 122,608 hectares an aquaculture
  gets 13,042 hectares.
• Agriculture has been the traditional economic
  base of Pangasinan and will continue to be a
  significant sector in the province economic
  development. It is the major source of livelihood
  for more than one-half of its population
  absorbing 36 of its total labor force in year
  2000.

17
WHY RICE AND PALAY TRADING ? cont

• The projected population for the province in
  five years time (2000 to 2006) is 2,807,955 and
  in the year 2010 will increase to 3,088,585
  people. This means that rice which is the staple
  food of the province should be produced
  increasingly every year to be able to meet the
  needs of the people in Pangasinan.
• The province through the Department of
  Agriculture only provided farmers and fisherfolks
  valuable farm interventions and support that
  enabled them to increase their harvests. The
  interventions and assistance provided in the last
  three years were fundamentally on the input or
  production side.

18
WHY RICE AND PALAY TRADING ? cont

• In the next months, the present administration
  shall explore together with lending institutions
  and cooperatives, the possibility of providing
  assistance to our farmers on the market
  side.(Socio-Economic Profile, CY 2000).
• The thrusts of government today is to put greater
  emphasis on livelihood projects for the less poor
  especially the farmers with components including
  skills and technology training, credit and
  livelihood assistance, and technical extension.

19
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY AFFECT THE SUSTAINABILITY
OF THIS PROJECT

• Sustainability of supply for this project will be
  affected only if calamities such as floods and
  unforeseen circumstances such as pestilence that
  will affect the production of palay will occur.
• Also a significant factor that will affect the
  operation of this project is the fluctuation of
  prices that will occur in the market and the
  unhealthy competition posed by other middlemen in
  the same field of enterprise.

20
The project intends to address these constraints
by doing the following measures

• Identifying other supply sources that can supply
  the need of the project in case the present
  source of supply will be affected.
• Store a steady supply of palay in a warehouse
  during harvest season when prices are cheaper and
  dispose them when prices are a little bit higher.
• Tie-up with farmers cooperatives whose members
  are engaged in the palay production to ensure a
  steady supply of palay.

21
Benefits of the project to the beneficiaries

• The project will pool additional funds to sustain
  the continuing operations of the Kalinga ng Ama
  Children for Children, to improve its quality of
  service and to expand its operation to greater
  number of children.
• The project will provide additional employment
  for the members of the Christ Our Life
  Ministries, a faith-based organization that is
  overseeing the Shelter.
• The project will uplift the living conditions of
  the farmer-beneficiaries by giving them a sure
  market of their produce at a higher price.

22
Main strategy

• The project will concentrate only in the buy and
  sell of rice and palay. Supply of palay will be
  bought from the nearby municipalities producing
  palay in Pangasinan like Sta. Barbara, Aguilar,
  Basista, Binmaley, Bugallon, Labrador, Lingayen,
  Mangatarem and Urbiztondo.
• Other municipalities and provinces will also be
  tapped in case supply of palay will not be met.
• The palay supply will be milled and the rice
  will be marketed to different outlets, either on
  wholesale and retail.

23
Goals and Strategies

• Ensure a steady supply of palay and rice.
• Source out funds from other Local and foreign
  sources in the next five years to add to the
  capital of the project.
• Organize a cooperative for the Kalinga to
  increase its capital build-up so this will
  cushion the vacuum created by the completion of
  the project.
• Implement fund raising projects that will earn
  additional source of income and capital build-up
  for the Shelter.

24
Goals and Strategies cont

• Part of the net earnings of the project will be
  plowed back to capital build-up to slowly cover
  the needed capital for the project.
• The women members can also be organized to help
  in the project especially in the store where the
  goods can be displayed and stored for disposal.
  The women can assist in the lighter assignments
  like palay classification and sourcing out market
  outlets for the rice supply.

25
Goals and Strategies cont

• Continuous project management training and
  assistance for the project implementors will be
  sought and conducted from the NGO community like
  the Informatrix Consultancy and Research
  Institute (ICRI).
• The Pangasinan Federation of NGOs can also be
  tapped for technical and marketing assistance and
  the government sector like the Department of
  Agriculture, Department of Trade and Industry,
  the Cooperative Development Authority and the
  National Food Authority can also be tapped to
  strengthen the management capability of the
  project management personnel assigned in the
  project.

26
Development Objectives

• Support services towards agricultural
  productivity will be continuously provided by
  other partners like the Department of Agriculture
  or the Department of Agrarian Reform. Modern
  agricultural technology will be conducted to the
  identified farmer-cooperators so that there will
  be steady supply of palay at an increased
  production..

27
Development Objectives

• Interventions from the government like farm to
  market roads, post harvest facilities, and
  marketing assistance will also contribute to the
  upliftment of the living standards of the poor
  farmers.

28
Development Objectives

• Partnership with NGOs and Government Agencies on
  marketing and project management will equip the
  project implementers the necessary skills to
  manage the project.

29
Immediate Objectives

  farmer-beneficiaries will be able to uplift their
  status of living.
• Continuous capability building will also bring
  about empowerment to the farmer beneficiaries
• The beneficiaries will learn the value of
  industry, cooperation, support and trust with
  each other to be able to attain their goals and
  objectives in the project.

30
Immediate Objectives

• Since the Center will be able to establish
  linkages with government and non-government
  organizations operating in the area, they will
  tapped as partners in the delivery of basic
  social services not only in agriculture but also
  in health, education, and other community
  services.

  fund.

32
As can be gleaned from the 5-Year Projected Cash
Flow, a total of P2,262,402.60 project income can
be generated within the 5-year period of project
operations. This means that the project is very
much feasible.
33
Financial and Economic Soundness

• The computed return on investment based on a net
  income of P2,262,402.60 in five years period is
  110.36 percent or an average of 22.07 return on
  investment within the five-year period.
• A Capital Build-up of 10 based on net income per
  year is computed to flow back to the additional
  operational needs of the Kalinga ng Ama Shelter
  for Children. Hence, the sustainability of the
  project will not be affected.
