NATIONAL DAIRY AUTHORITY (NDA)Department of Agriculture (DA)NDA Building, BAI CompoundVisayas Avenue, Diliman, Quezon CityPhone: (632) 926.0733 to 36 ♦ 929.6755Telefax: (632) 926.8847Email: dairynda@mozcom.comURL: www.nda.da.gov.ph

Created by Republic Act 7884, otherwise known as the National DairyDevelopment Act of 1995, the NDA is an attached corporation of the DAmandated to ensure the accelerated development of the Philippine dairy industrythrough policy direction and program implementation.

NDA envisions to achieve a vibrant local dairy industry providing wholesome,affordable milk to delighted consumers, building a nation of healthier childrenand wealthier farmers through the following mission: (1) Accelerate dairy herdbuild up and milk production; (2) Enhance dairy business through the deliveryof excellent technical services at farm and enterprise levels; (3) Increase thecoverage of milk feeding programs and help reduce malnutrition; and (4) Mobilizebroad support for local milk.

• Design credit systems that will provide loans, grants and other servicesas may be required, to dairy cooperatives;

• Assist dairy cooperatives in developing market channels and in negotiatingfor bulk outlets of milk output;

• Promote a nationwide campaign for the development of a local dairyindustry;

• Provide extension support, education and training programs for dairyfarmers and cooperatives;

• Conducts dairy research and development;• Provides support services in the acquisition of basic supplies and inputs

for animal health and nutrition; and• Build up the number and quality of local animal stocks through applied

technology.

Dairy Business Entry Programs

1. Save-the-Herd (STH)

This scheme opens an opportunity to expand animal herd and income offarmers who are already into dairying. It is also a good entry point forthose who would like to start a dairy enterprise. NDA buys local born dairyanimal-weaners, heifers- from dairy farmers and disperses these to the

STH Partner for rearing. The STH contract covers stages before a dairyanimal becomes pregnant. The STH partner takes care of the animal andreceives a 2/3 share of the increase in value of the animal (value at thetime of sale less acquisition cost of the animal), upon its sale at the endof the contract period.

To qualify, interested parties must have a cowshed, source of water andforage and accessible loafing area for the animal. The NDA offers thenecessary technical support like semen, artificial insemination services,drugs and vaccination.

The STH partner may apply with the NDA to continue to take care of thepregnant dairy animal as a regular dairy farmer. The animal will be coveredby a new contract that may be financed under the Quedancor animal loanprogram.

The STH program allows participants to generate income before the animalbegins to give milk. By ensuring cash flows during the pre-milking stage,animal raisers are provided an incentive to save the animal from slaughter.

2. Upgrading and Contract Breeding

The program upgrades native or non-dairy cows by introducing dairy geneticline through artificial insemination (A.I.) with the pure dairy semen. NDAprovides A.I. services and paraphernalia upon acceptance of animal ownersinto the program. Caring for the animals after insemination is theresponsibility of the farmer-owner, while NDA assists in the technicalaspects of animal management. NDA purchases the heifer offspring of theinseminated animals upon the recommendation of its technical team.Farmer-owners get 10% higher than the existing market price of non-dairytype animals. To ensure that offspring can be absorbed under this program,enroll upgrades with the NDA.

3. Palit-Baka

The Palit-Baka Loan Program complements NDA’s Upgrading and ContractBreeding Program. Female dairy crossbreds are distributed to new dairycooperators under the loan-in-kind agreement. Dairy farmers may choosea yearling, heifer, or pregnant crossbred and replace it after five (5) yearswith the higher dairy bloodline. The loan is settled with the replacement.

Under this program, dairy farmers will earn by selling the milk and themale offspring of the loaned crossbred animal. Program partners arediscouraged from selling milking animals and female offspring without NDAclearance.

4. NDA-Quedancor Loans

If you belong to an association of dairy farmers or dairy cooperative, youmay group yourselves into “self-reliant teams (SRTs)” to avail of this speciallydesigned animal loan facility. The maximum loanable amount is payablewithin five (5) years at eight (8) percent interest per year and a graceperiod of six (6) months. The principal of the loan is paid in cash at the endof the five-year loan term from the proceeds of the animal offspring sales,while the loan interest is paid from the milk sales. Earlier loan settlementunder the accelerated payment scheme increases the chances of gettinganother loan and being included in the priority list of NDA most preferredcooperators.

Minimum requirements for the loan include NDA endorsement, farmresources (barn, feeds and water), and the commitment to care for andregularly milk dairy animals.

PHILIPPINE CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP (PCE)5th Floor RFM Corporate CenterPioneer corner Sheridan Streets, Mandaluyong CityPhone: (632) 637.9229 ♦ 637.9347Fax: (632) 637.7873Email: info@pce.com.ph ♦ gonegosyo@yahoo.comURL: http://www.pce.com.ph ♦ gonegosyo.org

The PCE is a private, non-profit institution that works to mainstream andsynergize entrepreneurship development programs and projects of schools,NGOs and the business community. It was envisioned to be “the preeminentlocal institution that promotes entrepreneurship by improving education,fostering a culture of enterprise, and providing a marketplace of innovationsand best practices, thereby spawning competitive Filipino entrepreneurs.”

PCE’s tangible goal is the creation nationwide of “Go Negosyo” (Get IntoBusiness) communities—ecosystems that thrive in an environment of constantnetworking, mentoring and cooperation among educators, entrepreneurs andinvestors. Every Go Negosyo community will be distinguished by its ability toproduce a continuous stream of startup ventures.

Programs:

1. Social Advocacy

Some 92% of all Filipino business owners are micro entrepreneurs helpingmove the economy along. PCE wants them to progress into small andmedium enterprise (SME) owners whose capitalization is P3 million orhigher. Though many Filipinos are already engaged in some business oranother, a national advocacy can help bring their entrepreneurial drive to ahigher level—from being “survival” or “necessity” entrepreneurs to becoming“opportunity” and “innovation” entrepreneurs.

Sustained advocacy will help change social attitudes and strengthen theculture of enterprise. Aside from lack of capital, certain mindsets alsohamper the entrepreneurial spirit of many Filipinos: the fear of failure, thefear of taking risks, various misconceptions and stigmas about businessownership and self-employment. The ultimate aim for mounting an effectivecommunications program is to popularize and demystify the essentials ofentrepreneurial success.

2. Entrepreneurship Education

Current thinking affirms that it is never too early, even for children in primaryschool, to be exposed to a real enterprise. The Center therefore promotesentrepreneurship education in all school levels through materials

development, teacher training and research. PCE is working closely witheducators to embed business ownership in the national curriculum andhelp college students start a real enterprise before they graduate.

3. Business Plan Competitions

To get more young Filipinos thinking about business, PCE has become abooster of business plan competitions. Such contests make studentsmore aware that in the real world, real money flows only to the best-documented, best thought-out and well-presented business plans. Viableideas are brought to light and to the attention of potential investors duringsuch competitions.

4. Awards and Recognition

Encouragement and other psychic incentives play a big role in sustainingexcellence in the field of entrepreneurship development. The Center hon-ors exemplary advocates and institutions that promote entrepreneurship.

5. International Networking and Partnership

As there is no shortage of successful models in entrepreneurshipdevelopment, the Center partners with international organizations inobtaining new concepts and mobilizing resources.

6. Thought Leadership

The Center pursues its preeminence in entrepreneurship development bymounting pioneering studies and research. It also obtains best practicesand contributes to the shaping of relevant national policy.
