PROJECT SUMMARY Market Study

The main product of this project is cabbage head. The demand for cabbage in South Cotabato is higher than the supply. The trend of supply for the last six years is increasing because of the increasing production area of cabbage. The trend of demand also increases because of the population growth.

Hence, there is a high unsatisfied demand for the last six years except from 2009 because of the high supply of cabbage in the said year due to the additional 9 hectares of production from 2008-2009. The price trend is fluctuating from year 2005-2010 due to the large supply of the product from the near provinces like North Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.

Technical Study The proposed project will be located in Barangay Palian, Tupi, South Cotabato with a total land area of 11,000 square meters. The area has a sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.0 with cool moist weather condition which is suitable for cabbage production. The recommended technology by the municipal of Tupi will be the best basis in cultivating cabbage in Barangay Palian.

Financial Study

The proposed project will start to operate with an initial capital of 183,232.50 pesos. The project will be funded by the owner himself, Mr

Macaraeg. The business could pay its initial investment in less than a year. After the operation, the average return of owners investment is 205.67% for six years of operation with a net present value of 4357237.21 pesos.

Organizational and Management Study

The proposed project will be a sole proprietorship form of business organization. The owner-manager, Mr. James Macaraeg will be tasked to manage the project. He is knowledgeable enough and has all the resources to manage the project because he is engaged in farming for several years. Laborers will be hired to perform specific work in the operation.

Socio-Economic Study

The proposed project contributes the local area with the employment that will help the people to develop the quality of life through their purchasing power. The taxes generated by the local government will help to develop the community of Palian.

MARKET STUDY

Factors Affecting the Market The market of cabbage is very much affected by several factors such as bulkiness of the product wherein volume is greater relative to the price, highly perishable in nature which decreases the physical characteristics of the product, aside from these, transporting the product to the market is difficult because of poor road condition and existence of competitors which will be interested in cabbage production upon knowing its profitability. Other factors such as natural calamities, climate and weather conditions also affect the supply of the product.

Marketing Program Cabbage heads will be disposed on a per kilo basis. It will be sold on cash to cash basis after it will be harvested. Wholesalers will go to the production area to haul the cabbage .There will be five buyers and they are responsible for the transportation expenses. Disposal of the cabbage will be four times in every cropping with 20%, 50%, 20% and 10%volume of disposal with five days interval. Computation of production yield would be 70-30 wherein 30% serves as the leaf cover of the cabbage head and is deducted to the overall weight of the product. The computation is based on the prevailing practice by the farmer of the locality of Tupi. Aside from this, there will be a 10 % rejects. The volume of disposal per cropping is shown in the table 11 and 12, respectively.

Cultural Management Practices

A. Seedbed Preparation A seedbed will be prepared measuring 1 meter wide, raise 30 cm high and 50 meters long. Soil must be well-pulverized. Incorporate chicken manure at the rate of 90 kg. 30 days before seeding. To control insect such as ants and mole crickets, drench the bed with insecticide solution (7ml Malathion / 16 liters of water) prior to sowing.

Construction of Bed Shelter

A temporary bed shelter will be constructed at least meter high to protect the seedling from extreme heat and from heavy rain. The bed measures 1 meter wide raise 20 cm high and 50 meters long. To protect the seedling from animals like chicken, use a net cover surrounding each side of the bed shelter. Provide cellophane as shade barrier. Expose to full sunlight 1 week before transplanting. This method called hardened off which prepares seedlings to adapt outside environment. Transplant seedlings four weeks from sowing.

28

Table 13 Construction of Bed Shelter Materials Cellophane Net Nail Bamboo pole Quantity 50 meters 53 meters kg (#1) 3 pcs ( 3 meter )

Sowing of Seed Using the selected variety of cabbage, line sow 280 grams of seed in furrows across the bed 7-10 cm apart. Sow thinly to prevent dampingoff and water regularly.

B. Transplanting and Growing

Land Preparation The area must be free from weeds and must be well-pulverized before transplanting. Plow the area twice using tractor and harrow it once with carabao. Furrowing will be done after to serves as a guide in transplanting.

29

For the next cropping, plowing will not be done. The area will only be harrowed two times to remove the weeds. After which, it will be furrowed to serve as a guide during transplanting.

Transplanting When the seedling has at least 4 to 5 leaves (30 days after seeding) water the seedbed and gently uproot the seedlings and transplant them to the field. Seedlings are transplanted at a distance 60 x 60 cm away during wet season and 55 x 55 cm during the dry season. After transplanting, apply 10 grams of 14-14-14/ plant for basal application 3 days after transplanting.

30

Fertilizer Application Side-dress with Urea (46-0-0) at the rate of 10 grams/ plant, 3 weeks after transplanting. Repeat side-dressing at 35 days after transplanting with 10 grams/ plant with 2:1 mixture of 46-0-0 and 0-0-60. For every 2 kg. of 46-0-0, mix with 1 kg. of 0-0-60 of fertilizer will do.

Weeding

Weeding will be done manually using guna which will be provided by the seasonal farm worker. It will be done on the 20th and 34th day before the fertilizer application.

Pest and Diseases Management To combat the build-up of pest and diseases, the project will follow a cropping pattern to plant cabbage, then peanut, then cabbage.

Pest Diamond Back Moth (Plutella xylostella L.) Nature of damage: The young light green larvae first feed on the leaves as miners, then progressively feed by making small holes. Naturally attack during dry season according to one of the farmer. Control: Spray with 20-25ml of Decis-R mixed with 16 liters of water every 2 weeks as the case may require.

34

Common Cutworm (Spodoptera litura) Nature of damage: Feed on young and mature leaves of the host making large holes on leaf blades the adult is dark brown with white streaks on the wings and is generally active at night. The eggs are laid on the leaves. This pest is prevalent during vegetative stage. Control: Spray 3 tbsp of Kamandag (insecticide) with 16 liters of water every 2 weeks as the case may require.

Cabbage Aphids Nature of damage: Soft-bodied insects that cluster on young leaves and lower side of old leaves. Control: Remove the affected plant parts and burn. Spray with 2 grams of Actara/16 liter of water every 2 weeks as the case may require.

Diseases Head Rot Nature of damage: Caused by fungus present in the soil. Attack the plant before early head formation and maturity. Infected plants start to decay at the base of non-wrapper leaves which become wilted and pallid. The plant turns brown then black and decays.

35

Control: Remove the affected plants/ plant parts and bury or burn. Avoid soiling of cabbage leaves during cultivation. Irrigate the field regularly to keep the soil temperature low. Apply fungicide at the base of the plant 15 ml of Dithane in 16 liters of water every 2 weeks as the case may require.

Alternalia Blight Nature of damage: Caused by fungus. The infected plants show spot of small, circular, yellow areas which later produce ridges with black sooty color. Usually attack during wet season. Control: Spray Maneb at 60ml per 16 liters of water every 2 weeks as the case may require.

Harvesting

First harvesting is done forty five (45) days after transplanting. The cabbage is ready for harvesting if the heads are firm and compact. You can identify this by pressing the head and when there is no depression, and then it is compact and ready to be harvested. Harvesting is done every 5 days for at least 4 times. Harvesting will be done manually. Using a long knife, separate the head from its body the cabbage head will be put directly to the sacks for packing.

Packing

Heads of cabbage will be packed into the sack with its two-three big wrapper leaves which serve as its protection. Each sack contains an average of 40 pieces of cabbage head with 27 kg/ sack in wet season and 25 kg/ sack in dry season. The cabbage will be disposed right after packing.
