SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study may be beneficial for the following persons:

The business-oriented persons. This study may give them insights on establishing

pineapple Industry in BICOL as a good income-generating business. The results may also help

them in considering Daet, Camarines Norteas where pineapple plantation is as a the business-

friendly urban place where they could start their planned business.

The pineapple farmers. This study may help them in understanding that their pineapple

plantations could also be used for production of wine and not only traditional products

(pineapple juice, pinapple jam,, etc). They could maximize the use of their coconut plantations in

producing pineapple wine.

The alcoholic drinkers. This study may encourage them to choose Philippine products

Page 4: PINEAPPLE WINE

like pineapple wine instead of other branded alcoholic beverages. Pineapple is not only the

cheap, but it is also has healthy effects for your body). And also, if pineapple wine is readily

available in Daet , it would be easier to buy and much cheaper than other pineapple wine brands

from Luzon.

The government officials. This study may provide them awareness on the current

performance of the pineapple industry that should be given more focus since the Philippines is a

tropical country and they could make use other than coconut which is pineaple. It could also aid

in formulation of laws regarding the industry.

The future researchers. This study may give them information and insight on the

pineapple wine industry and its feasibility within Bicol and neighboring areas. This may also

enlighten them with new ideas concerning the industry that may help in boosting the country’s

economy.

THE INDUSTRY AND ITS ANALYSIS

This chapter discusses profile of the major players in the Philippines’ pineapple wine industry. It

discusses their services, the market, performance, the services they provide to their clients. It also

includes the identification of government agencies concerned and an analysis of the strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and key success factors of the pineapple wine industry.

Industry Background

The worldwide production of pineapple reached in 2001 the amount of 14 million tons. 1,6

million tons have been cultivated in the Philippines, which takes now ranking place 2 in the

world production after Thailand ( 2,3 million ). Also ranking place 2 with 21 % has the pineapple

production in domestic agricultural production of fruits and nuts - behind the cultivation of

banana (62%). The pineapple cultivated area in the Philippines is estimated at round about

44,000 hectares. More than seventy % of these areas are situated in the provinces of Northern

and South-Mindanao. About 30 % of pineapple production is exported, one third as fresh fruit

export, two third as processed fruits

Today, the country produced 648.78 thousand mt of pineapples this quarter or 1.1 percent higher

than the 641.72 thousand mt output in 2013.

The increase in production was brought about by the following:

more area harvested in Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao and Central Luzon; bigger

fruits developed in Ilocos and Davao regions; increased in yields in ARMM and Cagayan

Valley due to proper application of fertilizer; and, induced fruiting stage caused by

extended hot weather in MIMAROPA.The top producers were Northern Mindanao,

Page 6: PINEAPPLE WINE

SOCCSKSARGEN, CALABARZON and Bicol Region with a combined share of 91.7 %

to the national pineapple production.

In recent years, the product has been launched onto the world market, and it is hoped that this

industry will grow. This would, however, necessitate the planting of more pineapple , since

production is dependent upon the amount of fruit collected every harvesting season.

As far as the environment is concerned, the pineapple industry does not pose any major

threats, since it is in their best interests to encourage more pineapple planting. Both the product

and the process do not include any harmful chemicals; in fact, it is being marketed as an organic

product.

In the Philippines Camarines Norte ranks fourth nationwide in terms of area planted to

pineapple. Bukidnon is number one with 16,000 hectares, followed by South Cotabato at

10,100 and Cavite, 5,000. The province's prime agricultural product is the "Queen of Formosa"

pineapple. Noted for its sweetness and flavor, this kind of pineapple is produced only in

Camarines Norte, thereby making it a specialty in the province.

Alcohol Drinking Among Filipinos (WHO, 2004; DOH-UP, 2001)

Total recorded per capita consumption of Filipinos is 3.75 litres of pure alcohol for those litres of

pure alcohol for those 15 years and above years and above and increases by 10% every year

(Filipinos only third to Thailand and Japan).

Page 8: PINEAPPLE WINE

A 21 year projection starting from the years were data’s are not available to compensate in the projection the years that was referring to was from 2000-2004 on where the insufficient records from the NSO was not available. As you can see there is a growing demand for wine here in the Philippines. Although the Statistical Parabolic Method obtained the lowest standard deviation was not used due to the fact that after the year 2014 there will be a negative demand for wine which is not true for there will always be a demand for wine and using this method can’t be relied upon. Thus, the next lowest standard deviation from the method of projection was adopted for this study which is the Arithmetic Straight Line.

FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND FOR WINE

Consumption of alcohol

38.9% of Filipinos are occasional alcohol drinkers, 11.1% are regular drinkers (13% males and

5.9% females) while females) while 4.8% are heavy drinkers ( % are heavy drinkers(6.6% males

and % males and1.3% females) though children.Filipino drinkers drink beer (78.5%) q , liquor--

ADVERTISING

Since an advertisement or Ad is anything that draws good attention towards these things. It is

usually designed by an identified sponsor, and performed through a variety of media. Ads appear

on television, as well as radio, newspapers, magazines and as billboards in streets and cities.

Through the use of these, people will tend to to buy our products, by showing them the good

rather than bad of our products.

FACTORS AFFECTING SUPPLY OF WINE

Manufacturing of beer and liquors is one of the most profitable industries in the Philippines. Four

of its manufacturing companies i.e. San Miguel Corporation, Tanduay Distillers, Ginebra San

Miguel and Asia Brewery has been consistently among the top and Asia Brewery has been

consistently among the top 75 among the top 1000 corporations in the country.Despite recorded

economic downturn and gloomy outlook for the Despite recorded economic downturn and

Page 13: PINEAPPLE WINE

gloomy outlook for the Philippine economy, sales and consumption of alcoholic drinks are found

to remain high and are projected to expand positively. This is due largely to the increasing

disposable incomes among the youngand the emerging influence of Western pub drinking.

Massive and aggressive advertising helps the alcohol industrachieve its optimum sales where

80% of cost for every bottle is spent on advertising (Health Action Information Network, 2004).

The Price of Inputs

In addition to the price of the product which is the pineapple wine being the main factor as stated

in the Law of Supply, the price of production inputs of making this product also plays a part. The

lowest price at which a firm can sell a good without losing money is the amount of money that it

costs to produce it. Producing a good or service involves taking inputs and applying a process to

them to produce an output. The output is the finished good or service, and inputs are raw

materials, labor, utilities, licensing fees, or even other goods. These inputs are also known as

factors of production. If the price of inputs goes up, the cost of producing the good increases.

And therefore at each price producers need to sell their good for more money. So an increase in

the price of inputs leads to a decrease in supply. Simarly, a decrease in the price of inputs leads

to an increase in supply.

The Current State of Production Technology

Production of a good involves taking inputs, applying a process to them, and producing an

output. Well, production technology is involved in the process part. Increases in the level of

production technology can make that process more efficient. When you invest for the latest

production technology, the operation becomes more efficient and you are able increase the

Page 14: PINEAPPLE WINE

supply of pineapple wine. If we decided to expand further and add more technological advanced

machines the improvements will be guaranteed .This further increases your ability to supply

Pineapple Wine since it reduces your labor costs. By automating the process, reliance upon

labor is lessened and those resources are released for utilization elsewhere.

The Producer's Expectations

It doesn't just matter what is currently going on - one's expectations can also affect how much of

a product one is willing and able to sell. Due to expected occasions like Christmas, Valentine’s

day, New year there will be an expectation of an increase in demand of wines during this

seasons. The tendency of supplier is to increase the current supply for wine because of what

they EXPECT to happen in the future.

THE TYPE OF COMPETITION ( a Monopolistic Competition)

As more or fewer producers enter the market this has a direct effect on the amount of a product

that producers (in general) are willing and able to sell. More competition usually means a

reduction in supply, while less competition gives the producer a opportunity to have a bigger

market share with a larger supply. Since BICOLLANO COMPANY is not just the only seller of

wine in the business, the company is in a monopolistic competition. We sell differentiated

products that are somewhat different, or are perceived to differ, even though we serve a similar

purpose to other companies in the wine industry. We created a differentiated product by quality

style, convenience, location, and brand name through it buyers will tend to switch and buy our

product. By making consumers aware of product differences, sellers exert some control over

price.

Pineapple

Queen or Formosa variety, a small-sized sweet-tasting fruit t weighs to about 0.45 to 0.95 kilogram. The farm gate price of fresh pineapple fruit is Php 4 per piece and is sold at about Php 6 per piece in the market. We , the Bicollano Pineapple Wine Corporation is able to get our own supplier wherein we can buy 3 pesos per piece weighing 0.95 K.

Packaging cost

Packaging costs, including bottles, labels, corks were gathered by surveying several suppliers. The lowest quote for the packaging products was used to determine total packaging costs.

Page 16: PINEAPPLE WINE

500ml wine bottle container cost 8 pesos per piece from our supplier Zibo Chuangyou International Trade Co., Ltd. which they provide the cork and the label for our product.

Taxes and fees

According to the REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6956 Sec. 139. Wines. — On wines there shall be collected per liter of volume capacity the following taxes:chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

COST ANALYSIS

Explicit Costs and Implicit Costs

Economists have classified types of costs as explicit (accounting) costs, and implicit costs.Implicit cost are those that is represented by lost opportunity in the use of a company's own resources, excluding cash. The implicit cost for a firm can be thought of as the opportunity cost related to undertaking a certain project or decision, such as the loss of interest income on funds, or depreciation of machinery used for a capital project.Explicit costs represent clear, obvious cash outflows from a business that reduce its bottom-line profitability. This contrasts with less-tangible expenses such as goodwill amortization, which are not as clear cut regarding their effects on a business's bottom-line value.

The Implicit Cost

-the time and effort that we, as the owner of Bicollano Company, puts into the maintenance of the company, rather than working on expansion of our business, is viewed as an implicit cost of running the business. In corporate finance decisions, implicit costs should always be considered when coming to a decision on how to allocate resources. We also estimate our own time to be worth P25,000 each . we are not paying explicit rent, because we own the building we are operating in. If we would rent it out, however, we could be earning P15,000.

Implicit Cost=25,000 x 2 + 15000=P65,000

The Explicit Cost

-all the cost incurred during the production of our product is considered as an explicit cost.With these expenses, it is easy to see the source of the cash outflow and the business activities to which the expense is attribute. Since we are running a small business and incur the cost ( refer to the table ___) we incurred a total of 6,918,565.1

Explicit Cost= 6,918,565.1
