TECHNICAL ASPECTS

1.1 PRODUCT

The proposed project offers the major

crop in the Philippines which is the
CALAMANSI (citrus madurencis). The
calamansi tree is evergreen and small,
attaining a height of 2-7.5 m at maturity. Its
broadly egg-shaped leaves are dark green
above and pale green below. The small, white
fragment flowers are grouped in clusters. The
calamansi fruit is round, with greenish yellow
to orange skin which can be easily peeled.
There are six to ten segments in a fruit with
an orange colored, every acidic juice and each
fruit has 4-11 seeds.

Calamansi is said to be a good source of Vitamin C and has been commercially

processed into bottled concentrate, as a ready-to-drink juice in tetra packs, and as a
marmalade. The juice is also very popular as a flavor enhancer for native dishes. As a
cleanser and hygienic substance, it can be a stain remover, body deodorant, skin bleach, and
hair shampoo.

Calamansi also can be used for medicinal purposes. Rubbing the juice on insect bites
eliminates itching and irritation. It’s taken orally as cough remedy, as a laxative to loosen the
bowels, and is combined with pepper to expel phlegm. The roots are used for treatment at
childbirth and leaves to cure gas pains.
 The calamansi thrives in warm to cool climates with an evenly distributed rainfall of
1, 500-2,000 mm/year. It is generally grown in the lowlands. Calamansi can grow over a
wide range of soil types from clay loam to limestone to sand. However, it grows best in a
slightly acidic, well drained sandy or clay loam soil rich in organic matter. It has moderate
tolerance to drought and shade but cannot tolerate excessive moisture and strong winds.

1.2 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

A. PLANTATION
1. Farming

1. Propagation- the calamansi is propagated

through seed, stem cuttings, marcotting,
and grafting.

2. Planting/Treeplanting – Sow seeds in a

seedbed, 1-2 centimeter apart at a depth of
1 centimeter, and after four to five months
when seedlings are 10-15 c tall transplant
them to individual containers. Field
planting should be done during the rainy
season. Set the plants at a spacing of 4 to
six meters apart from each other in square,
rectangular system. This is equivalent to
calculated population density of about 278-719 tree per hectare, depending on plan-to-plant
distance and the planting system to be adopted. With 5m x 5m spacing distance in square
system, the population density per hectare will be 400.

3. Irrigation – After the rainy season, irrigate the calamansi trees during the first dry
season; after which trees may depend entirely on rain for their water requirement. To attain
early of season flowering, heavily water the trees one to two months before normal flowering
time.

4. Fertilization – Nitrogen fertilizers like urea should be applied at the rate of 50-100g
per tree starting 1 month after planting and every other 6 months. This rate is increased to
200-300 g per tree in the second year. When the tree starts bearing fruits commercially, 350-
400 g of complete fertilizer is applied, the rate increased correspondingly as the tree become
bigger. The fertilizers can be distributed into 6-8 holes around the tree and timed with the
onset and end of the rainy season or just before the start of flowering . In incorporation of the
organic fertilizers in the fertilization plan will also benefit the plant by providing
micronutrients.

5. Pruning - Remove diseased, dead interlacing branches.

6. Pest and Diseases prevention - The common pest of calamansi is the fruit fly and
the most serious disease is leaf mottling which is transmitted by the insect carrier. As a
preventive measure, use certified disease-free planting materials and spray trees regularly
with an insecticide. Remove totally and burn trees infected by diseases and pest.

2. HARVESTING

A three-year-old tree produces 75 kilograms of fruit; at six years, 10

kilograms; and at ten years, 50 kilograms. On the average, calamansi produces 20 tons of
fruit per hectare per year. Harvest calamansi fruit by cutting it from the tree with scissors.
Leave a piece of the stem attached to the fruit to help it stay fresh. A freshly- harvested fruit
can be kept in good condition for two to three weeks at 8- 10C and 90% relative humidity.

3.DUMPING

Harvested Calamansi fruits will be dumped in the warehouse for washing and
screening.

1.9. WASTE DISPOSAL

 Locate farm waste storage areas away from handling, input storage areas to
prevent cross-contamination andavoid attracting pests.
 Farm waste storage areas and containersare adequate for the amount of waste
generated between disposal times.
 Clean farm waste storage areas often enough to avoid creating conditions that
can cause cross-contamination or attract pests.
 Remove farm waste often enough and in a mannerto prevent cross-
contamination and avoid attracting pests.
 Dispose of all material according to municipal by-laws and provincial
regulations.
 If farm waste can be used by other sectors, store and ship them so as not to
pose a food safety hazard. Unless properly sanitized, vehicle used for
transporting farm waste should not be used to transport food products and
farm inputs.
