Fish Farming Business Proposal n5b3y

I.

INTRODUCTION The world nowadays is in great turmoil, financial crisis seems to plunge each

and everyone. Aching global oil crisis, threatening nuclear crisis, and sinking financial economies are such of the few that warned us that we have to save and we have to be practical. Thus, in order to answer the needs of the time, we carved this idea of having a fish farm business project to alleviate or even just soothe the crisis faced by most of the consumers right now. We plan to raise this project, not just of aiming to have bountiful gains but also to aid the masses of consumers by offering quality product guaranteed with pocket-friendly price. II.

NATURE OF BUSINESS We’ll name our business as Dive Fish Farm Company, an ideal business

venture, to be located at Dongon, Maasin City. It will engage in fish farming and selling commercial fish such as Bangus. It will target to sell to the well known restaurants, sardine manufacturers and mainly to the ordinary consumers. We, the partners, we’ll have to converge our resources and intellect to run this proposed business. As agent of the business success, each one of us shall endeavor to make this venture to be lucrative. The production phase is expected to create minimal cost because there are lot of traditional yet effective process of raising fishes that can be combined with scientific technology which will surely provide productive harvests at low cost. The cash requirement of implementing the project is estimated to reach P 700,000. The source and cost of financing the project will be charged to the partner’s capital.

RISKS

III.

The risks involved with starting Dive Fish Farm Company are: •

Will there be an escalating demand for the product offered by the company?

•

Will the price not be onerous to the consumers?

•

Will the cost of accessing Dive Fish Farm Company not hinder the consumer to negotiate?

MARKET FEASIBLITY Our target market is not just the plain consumers or the families but we have

widened our scope from the families to the restaurants and sardines manufacturer. We will also distribute our products through consignors. The major targeted consumers and costumers of our products mostly are the people in our province Southern Leyte. But it doesn’t mean that we’ll just confine here in our province but we’ll also mark to accept customers from neighboring islands. We have expected that the demand of our product will reach up to maximum 150,000 kilograms this coming 5 years. The supply divides as about 83% for human consumption and 17% for exports and non-food uses. The proposed prices of our product lie between P100.00 to P150.00 per kilo. The price will be anticipated fluctuate due to the variability of demand and supply of the harvest. Our price will be much lower than the competitor to attract customers, to provide them satisfaction and most of all, to suffice our objective—to provide

pocket-friendly price to the customer. We’ll always mark to maintain the competitiveness of our product by maintaining its quality. We’ll have to freeze and to make them clean to avoid any damage and unnecessary smell. For bulk sale, we will offer a free delivery system especially to far-flung customers. There are two channels of distribution of our product which can be illustrated as follows: (1) Direct type of distribution. DIVE FISH FARM

END CUSTOMER

(2) Indirect type of customer by channeling first the product to consignors. DIVE FISH FARM

VII.

PROPOSED MARKETING PROGRAM We will make the packaging of our product be attractive to the buyer. We

will categorize the packaging into three according to the number of kilos: 1 kilogram; 2 kilograms; 3 kilograms and above. The color of our packaging will be a color gradient white and blue plastic with a mini-Styrofoam box inside which will serve as the container. We have also planned to our product in radio and in newspaper. VIII.

PROJECTED SALES For the next five years, we will expect to sell almost 150,000 kilograms of

fishes considering that our marketing program and competitive position will be maintained. Financially, we are trying to aim to reach 15 million pesos cumulative gross sales for the next five years. IX.

PRODUCTION

•

Product Specification

The fish that we are going to produce and sell is a high quality fish, fresh and one source of providing protein. The customer doesn’t have to wait for a longer time because we have sufficient supply of fish, continuous operation and on time delivery. We can assure that every kilo have its exact weight. •

Production Process

In raising Bangus, we will provide and sprinkle milk powder or flour to the growing Bangus. The fishes could also be given breadcrumbs and food leftover. The size of the male Bangus was ready for market within 4 months while the female will almost reach 6 months before ready to be marketed. It is possible to harvest 1 ton of Bangus in every one hectare within 3 to 4 months if the sufficient food supply for the fishes will be maintained. •

Plant Size and Production Schedule

We’ll timing the period of raising the Bangus in such a way that we can possibly harvest every month and there will be no lag of production. We’ll develop a systematic and sophisticated scheduling of raising and harvesting. The size of the pond is 1.5 hectares by 1.5 hectares long and wide and 4 meters deep which contained 15 cubicles. •

Startup Source and Supply of Bangus

The supply of the young Bangus for the start up is available in the Department of Agriculture, Maasin City. Its unit cost is P2.00 each. The supply of the commercial floater feeds costs P1, 550.00 per sack based on the current quoted price of Magic 9 Marketing Enterprises, Tunga-Tunga, Maasin City. •

Utilities

We need electrification for the lighting and mainly for the refrigeration of our product. Our water supply is connected to Barangay Dongon Water Supply for our rest room, washing and processing area but except for the water supply to our fish farm. We will sustain the water supply for the fish farm by getting directly from

Dongon River via pipelines. We also have to ponder wireless telephone to ease the access of the customer and this will cost P5, 000. 00 per month.
