I. RATIONALE:

The City of Imus is one of the lowland towns in the Province of Cavite.  It is
approximately 18 kilometers from Manila and can be reached either through Binakayan,
a barangay of Kawit or through the Cavite Coastal Road and Gen. Aguinaldo Highway
that leads to Tagaytay City. Five (5) towns bound the municipality: on the north is the
town of Kawit; on the northeast is Bacoor; on the west is General Trias; on the south is
the Municipality of Dasmarinas; and on the east is Muntinlupa City.

The City of Imus is a mixture of history and economic development. It is known as the
Flag Capital because the first Philippine Flag was unfurled and raised during the Battle
of Alapan held on May 28, 1898. On the other hand, it is recognized by the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) as the “Retail Capital” and awarded as the 3rd Most
Competitive Component City (Overall) and 2nd Most Competitive City in Economic
Dynamism by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC). It also boasts of its good
leadership being a recipient of the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) conferred
by the Department of the Interior and Local Government.

It was proclaimed as a City on June 30, 2012 by virtue of RA 10161 which became the
accelerating point of trading, commercial and industrial activities in the locality. It is
home for big corporations like Liwayway Corporation and San Miguel – Yamamura Asia
Corporation. It is considered as one of the fast growing cities with an average annual
growth rate of 22% during the last three years. Its growth is attributed to its proximity to
Manila, economic friendliness and availability of manpower resources from its
vocational school , the Imus Vocational and Technical School (IVTS)

Despite of the city’s economic growth, street vendors remains poverized. Poverty is
prevalent because of lack of economic opportunities. Most of them are victims of illegal
collections of fees (kotong). Fruits are highly perishable goods, if these goods are not
sold immediately, these go to wastes.

Most of the beneficiaries are organized under Kaisahan ng Manininda sa Imus

(KAMI), a primary organization aimed to unite the ambulant/street vendors to become
productive and maximize their goods and skills to augment their income. With the
purpose of utilizing the unsold fruits, these vendors realized that they need to become
productive and enhance their potentials so that they could contribute to the meager
income of their families. KAMI was registered with the Department of Labor and
Employment in 2012 with Registration Number RO4A-0907-001-WA-CAV-018.

Most of the consumer products specifically food are produced and marketed by big
manufacturers who control the price. These are the reasons why the Kaisahan ng
Manininda sa Imus envisioned to implement this Fruit Processing Project. All
processed fruits will use the brand name “ Imus’ Best”, to promote the specialty of
Imus.

Kaisahan ng Manininda sa Imus will share their unique traditional recipe , realizing the
potential of fruit products for commercialization. With this concept they will not only
augment their income but also increase the value of fruit products thus, increasing the
income of these informal sector.

Members of Kaisahan ng Manininda sa Imus will be trained to enhance their skills and
standardize its business operation and become efficient in fruit processing. Thus this
project will create employment for the unemployed and increase the value of fruits
rather than it goes to waste when unsold.

II. PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

The general objective of this project is to augment income of the ambulant/street

vendors, through creation of employment and livelihood opportunities in the City
of Imus, Province of Cavite.

Specific objectives:

1. To enhance the vendors’ skills in fruit processing and bakery operation;

2. To increase the value of fruit products specifically apple,buco, banana ,

mango, orange, pineapple, rambutan and other fruits in season that are
essential in food processing;

3. To generate employment and source of income through community-based

micro-enterprise development.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The project is located in Barangay Tanzang Luma I in the City of Imus , Cavite.
The project will benefit the unemployed vendors , women and mimimum wage
workers (please see attached list of beneficiaries).
A common livelihood center cum bakery will be established and will be
accessible to all.

Significance of the Project

The Kaisahan ng Manininda sa Imus will be an instrument where members could

enhance their skills, participate productively as informal sector in the economic
strata and earn additional income for their families. The project encourages the
members to become productive and actively participate in economic activities
that will create employment and livelihood opportunities. Unsold apples,
bananas, buco, oranges, pineapple, rambutan and other fruits in season will be
used as main ingredients of baked products. With this project, we could
contribute more in Imus socio-economic development, thus eliminating poverty
and unemployment problem.

PROJECT OPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION

Members will divide among themselves the tasks involved in the operation and
marketing. The project management team will identify a scheme for labor fee.

Raw Material Sourcing

Primary materials for processing will be different varieties of fruits peddled by

these street vendors. Not all fruits are sold, almost 40% go to wastes when days
past. A coordinator will be identified to serve as collector/purchaser of raw
materials. All fruit vendors will be organized to ensure continuous supply of raw
materials.

Production and Operation

A common processing area cum bakery will be established to serve as

production area. All raw materials coming from different vendors will be brought
to the processing station. The member will divide the tasks among themselves.
The central processing station will be manned by a General Manager or
Supervisor, supported by 3 bakers/cooks, 5 kitchen helpers , 5 packaging and
marketing staff. They will be trained on their specific task to ensure efficiency.
 Operation will be supervised efficiently to ensure product’s quality. Cleanliness
and sanitation policies will be strictly implemented. All food handlers will
undergo health/medical check up by the City Health Officer of Imus. Sorting ,
cleaning of materials, cooking, baking, packaging and labelling will be supervised
efficiently.

Product Packaging and Marketing

All processed fruits/baked goodies will be packed in beautifully designed bottles,

boxes and paper bags. All products will be marketed bearing the brand “ Imus’
Best”- a trademark of quality processed products of the City of Imus. All products
bearing the label are ensured of best quality in taste, price and shelf-life.

A common “Pasalubong Center” will be established to market Imus-made

products in the city proper and other commercial districts in the city. Kaisahan ng

VI. FUTURE PLANS AND SUSTAINABILITY SCHEME

To enhance customer’s satisfaction, Kaisahan ng Manininda sa Imus (KAMI)

will seek assistance from DOST and FNRI for product development to determine
the precise date of expiration, nutritional facts, product package compatibility test
and improvement in packaging. It will also seek assistance from DTI for
promotion and expansion of its marketing network locally.

To ensure continuous supply of raw materials it will seek assistance from the
Department of Agriculture to encourage farmers in the production of banana, and
other fruits that are essential in this project.
VII. SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT

This fruit processing and bakery project will boost the social and economic status
of the ambulant/street vendors and their families through additional income and
livelihood opportunities. With the additional income for the family , they could
buy food and provide “baon” for their children in school. Children are assured of
continuous education. Children do not have to stop schooling to earn a living.
The project will also help the farmers increase their income because they will
have sure market for their produce, giving higher value for their crops.
