Chapter 1

Executive Summary.

1.1 Name of the Firm

The firm is to be known as Pop’s Essential Assorted Condiments Enterprise

(P.E.A.C.E.). The reason for the name Pop is in lieu with the proponents’ (authors of this

study) close relationship with their dads. This is dedicated to fathers, for their

unconditional love and hard work. The name Essential Assorted Condiments will define

the product that will be manufactured by the firm.

1.2 Location

1.2.1 Head Office

The head office is located at the plant site.

1.2.2 Plant Site

The plant is located at Block 2 Lot 5 PNB Homes, Talon Dos BF Resort Village,

Las Piñas City. It has an area of one hundred twenty square meters.

1.3 Brief Description of the Project

The proposed business is a home-based business that will produce a mixed

condiment called Seasoned Tomato Ketchup, a mixture of tomato ketchup and liquid

seasoning. The product will be used to add flavor to a different variety of foods like

adobo, afritada, menudo, morcon, pizza, fried foods, grilled foods, and sweet & sour

dishes.

1.4 Conclusion

1.4.1 Market Feasibility

For the sake of conservatism and for the purpose of this feasibility study, the

6

Page 7: Seasoned Tomato Ketchup Thesis

Feasibility Study: Pop’s Essential Assorted Condiments Enterprise

proponents limited their target market to residents of Las Piñas with ages ranging from

15-64 years of age or otherwise known as the working group as classified by the National

Statistics Office, who are either male or female, and those who belong to class C (middle

class) and D (lower class) socioeconomic status. The product will be coursed or sold

through convenience stores, sari-sari stores, small scale grocery stores, small eateries,

fast foods and restaurants. Since there are no manufacturing firms of condiments present

in Las Piñas City, there is a big supply and demand gap. Therefore, there is an

opportunity for the proposed business to operate in this area. There are no direct

competitors for the condiment seasoned tomato ketchup, but there are other condiments

present in the market. The proponents will promote the product to and through the

owners of the convenience stores, fast-food chains, restaurants, sari-sari store, small scale

grocery stores, and through handing out free samples that come with fliers to be posted in

their stores visible to the customers.

1.4.2 Technical Feasibility

The product is seasoned tomato ketchup. The product will be marketed in two

different pack sizes; 350ml and 1 liter plastic bottles. The number of products produced

per day would be 50 units of 355g of seasoned tomato ketchup in 350ml plastic bottle and

4 units of 1kg of seasoned tomato ketchup in 1 liter bottles. All the equipments, materials,

and supplies that will be used are enumerated in Appendices “E”, “F”, and “G”. Manual

labor will be used to produce and package the product. The owner will make sure that

productions are up to standards.

1.4.3 Management Feasibility

The ownership of the proposed business will be in a form of sole proprietorship.

7

Page 8: Seasoned Tomato Ketchup Thesis

Feasibility Study: Pop’s Essential Assorted Condiments Enterprise

The organizational structure will consist of the owner and a worker/ employee, working

hand in hand. The employee shall be trained and shall abide by set management policies.

The owner will operate the business in accordance with Ordinances and within legal

boundaries. It shall, likewise, operate in consonance to its social obligation to the

community.

1.4.4 Financial Feasibility

The initial investment for the proposed business is Ph 200,000.00. The source of

investment would come from the contribution of the owner. The proposed project is

feasible considering that the investment, based on certain assumptions, will be recovered

at 2 years and 2 months of operations.

1.4.5 Socio-economic

The business would provide benefits to the people living in Las Piñas due to the

fact that the business will earn money, and therefore the profit generated will add up to

the flow of income. The business would also acquire the mandatory licenses and permits

to legally conduct the business. The owner will pay the proper and necessary taxes to the

government. The business will perform its dealings in a just and honorable manner.

Introduction/ Background of the Study

2.1 Brief Background of the Study

In the early 16th century, ketchup was very different in its structure compared

nowadays. It was first made using mushroom, walnut, oysters, and fish, to which several

ingredients were then added. Its original color was brown, and was changed to color red

from the invention of food coloring. Tomato was known to the world as one of the

ingredients in ketchup through the efforts of early explorers. Some other Southeast Asian

countries had it based on kidney beans.

Eventually the production of ketchup developed and became popular, and people

started using it in their meals because of the different flavor it gave to food, and also

because of its long shelf life. Homemade condiments started to sell in the market, and

later on companies started to operate in producing condiments.

Most households buy condiments like fish sauce, ketchup, seasoning, soy sauce,

and vinegar to add up flavors in their food. Restaurants purchase condiments to

compliment the food that they provide. A cook in a restaurant would use different kinds

of condiments depending on the recipe to be prepared for the customers. Due to these, the

proponents thought of creating a product which consists of tomato ketchup and liquid

seasoning.

2.4 Scope and Limitations of the Study

The proposed study is limited to the area of Las Piñas City. The reason for this

location is because the proponents reside in Las Piñas. The information gathered in the

study was limited because of the non-existence of the product in the market. Therefore,

data used are based on related products like ketchup and other kinds of seasoning. The

assumptions and financial statements only account for a 3-year projection starting year

2007.

Market Study

3.1 Objectives of the Study

The objectives of this market study are the following:

To determine the target market of the proposed product.

To determine the projected sales of the proposed business.

To determine how to distribute the product to its target market.

To determine the price of the product.

3.2 Research Design and Methodology

Type of Research Design

The proponents used the descriptive research plan. They conducted a survey

through questionnaires given to a varied group of respondents. Questionnaires were

given to 100 respondents using the Slovene’s Formula to come up with the appropriate

number of respondents (shown below):

= ____508,996

12

Page 13: Seasoned Tomato Ketchup Thesis

Feasibility Study: Pop’s Essential Assorted Condiments Enterprise

Sources of Primary Data

In addition to the survey questionnaires, the proponents participated in seminars

related to the study. Also through participating in seminars, the proponents were able to

interview people who already have experience in the field of condiments manufacturing.

Source of Secondary Data

The proponents’ secondary data came from various websites found in the internet

on related matters. Additional data on condiments were gathered from news articles.

Other data and figures came from government agencies.

Survey Method

The proponents used probability method in their survey questions to accumulate

data for the project. The respondents are residents and those living in Las Piñas City,

mainly those in the socio-economic status C and D.

Sampling Design

For this study, the target markets are individuals aged 15-64 years old, male or

female, under class C and D socioeconomic class, who live in the area of Las Piñas City.

These prospects are those who want to buy condiments to add flavors in their food. By

using the data gathered from the National Statistics Office, the proponents accumulated

the computation of the quantity of target market. In the year 2000, the total population of

Las Piñas City is 472,780, and the number of households is 97,962 with an annual growth

rate of 1.06 percent.

13

Page 14: Seasoned Tomato Ketchup Thesis

Feasibility Study: Pop’s Essential Assorted Condiments Enterprise

Since there is no data for the population of the year 2001 and onwards, the

proponents derived data based on annual growth rate provided by the National Statistics

Office (NSO) for the following years.

Population in Las Piñas

Note: Annual growth rate in population in the National Capital Region is 1.06% and average 4.8 members per household based on data from the National Statistics Office (Appendix L).

For the sake of conservatism and for the purposes of this study, we limited the target market as follows:

Note: Based on the data from www.manilastandardtoday.com, 65% of the total population belong to the socioeconomic class C & D, and the data from NSO, 59.2% of the population comprises the age group of 15-64 (Appendix L). While, 72% answered in the survey question that they will avail the product (Appendix J).

b. Total Philippine exports of sauces, mixes and preparations was valued at US$ 11.50 million in 2000, registering a modest average growth of 5% from exports of US$ 12.06 million in 1996.

And since the average growth of imported condiments demand is at 5%, let us say that that domestic average growth is also at 5%. So we added the imported condiments and domestic demand, it equals to 10%.

Basis of Waste DisposalPlant growth-promoting oligosaccharides produced from tomato waste AbstractTomato juice waste was hydrolyzed with acid. Tomato juice waste (500g; wet weight) was heated with 0.5 N HCl (2.5 l) at 70 °C for 4 h. After neutralization, the growth-promoting extracts (300g; dry weight) in the plants were produced from the tomato waste. The acid extract significantly promoted the growth of cockscomb (Celosia argentea L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) seedlings. We have recognized potent plant growth-promoting substances in the acid extract from tomato waste. The most effective components in the active fraction were almost all oligogalacturonic acids (DP 6–12). This paper is the first report that plant growth-promoting oligosaccharides can be directly produced from tomato juice waste. It is possible that the substances from the tomato waste can become useful plant growth regulators in the agriculture field in the future. The seeds were indicated as an edible oil source and tomato seed flake as a protein source.
