Introduction

A heltheir kind of vinegar is what I want to offer. For this kind of vinegar that I made, I
would like to take the interest of the public consumer with my version of organic lakatan
and latundan vinegar. I would for them to know that this kind of vinegar has a sweet and
sour taste; and has a unique aroma that are pleasant to the nose.

Nowadays some perople produce synthitic/ artificial vinegar and sell it in the market,
without the public knowing. Promoting a helthier kind of vinegar is what my product want
to offer. My product is vinegar made of purely fermented juice of lakatan and latundan
banana. Would help not just the public consumer with its health benefits, like it is reach
of potassium, dietary fiber,vitamin c, soluble fiber which may help lower blood
cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and magnesium. It can also help the
banana planters of Dulag, by increasing the demand for thier products.
Background of the study

I make this product for the porpuse of serving the public consumer a healthier kind of
vinegar and to help some banana planters of Dulag.

Serving the public consumer a helthier vinegar, because most people nowadays are
very conciouse with thiere health. They are carefull and meticulous on what to buy.
They usually buy organic products and more fruits and vegetables on thier list. By
creating this product ( organic lakatan and latundan vinegar) I am atleast supporting this
people on what they want to achieve, which is a heltheir life style than before. I can also
give the public consumer a choice to use a healthier vinegar for thier daily usage.

To help the banana planters of Dulag Leyte, by turning lakatan and latundan banana
into vinegar. By thise I can now increase the demand for thise type of banana.I will not
be choosy in purchasing thier banana. I will still buy it even the bananas are small or
significant interm of sizes. Even the bananas does not have a good quality in terms of
look, as long as it is "gurang" and not "linghud". I will assure them that I will be a
permanent buyer of lakatan and latundan banana. Because some planners are having
difficulties in looking for a permanent buyers. Other buyers are very meticulous and
choosy and buy it in a cheaper price if the product does not fit on what they want.

With this kind of business, I can help some planters in Dulag,.In creating a strong demand for their
product. By letting them know that whatever sizes and appearance of the bananas. The company will

can create more vinegar. By creating a secured buyer for their product.

This product can contribute to the environment by making organic fertelizer. By turning its banana peel,
dried fruit, flowering stem and banana trunk to organic fertelizer, through decomposition. While the

into burger patty. There will be no waste for this product, because its waste can be turn into something
that is helpful to the environment, farmers and can create another source of income for the community
