EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Cucurbetes ii
 The following report is all about a nutritious food feasibility study. Ice cream is a
mixture of milk, cream, sugar, and sometimes other ingredients, that has been frozen into
a soft, creamy delight using special techniques. Ice cream has been a popular treat for
hundreds of years but only become commonplace since the widespread use of
refrigeration.
Squash is one of the most versatile and delicious food available throughout the
world and it packs a serious punch in terms of health and medicinal benefits.
Cucurbetes is an ice cream that is made of 30%-40% squash. It is a dessert that is
healthier than any other ice cream. Its price is budget-friendly so that anyone can taste it.
On the first day of their opening, there will be a free ice cream for the 1 st 100 customer.
It’s a way to thank their customers for going to their store. Squash and milk is the
primary ingredients of the proponent’s product. To be more healthy and productive, they
will have their own field and farm wherein they collect their supplies of milk and squash.
Before having their permanent business, first they experiment what two different
foods are perfect to combine. After that they chose the combination of ice cream and a
squash, they asked and gave their friends and relatives the sample of their product to
know how it is tastes like and what things to be improved or to maintain.
When the time comes that their product will boom to the market, they’ll make another
flavor or maybe another product.

THE PROJECT STUDY

Introduction
A yummier and healthier ice cream is what the proponents are producing. The
proponents like to introduce a new way to be healthy in an exciting way. Ice cream is one
of the best desserts in all times while squash is one of the healthiest vegetable. The
proponents find a way to make these two different varieties of foods to be more delicious
and healthy in one. The result in making a delicious and healthy ice cream is what the
proponents called now “CUCURBETES”. Cucurbetes is a combination of words,
cucurbita and sorbetes. Cucurbita is the scientific name of squash and Sorbetes is a
Filipino term for an ice cream.

Background of the Study

Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may
be made from dairy milk or cream and is flavored with a sweetener, either sugar or an
alternative. Colorings are usually added, in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is stirred
to incorporate air spaces and cooled below the freezing point of water to prevent
detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at
very low temperatures (below 2 °C or 35 °F). It becomes more malleable as its
temperature increases.
That being said, ice cream does provide your body with a handful of nutrients,
including bone-strengthening calcium, blood-pressure-lowering potassium, and
energizing B vitamins. It also provides a decent amount of protein, which is important in
tissue repair and cell growth.
Squash which is also one of the ingredients of the product are a kind of fruit. They
originally came from the New World. Gourds are in the same family as squashes.
Although squash is a fruit according to its botanical classification, it is generally
considered vegetable in food preparation.
Squash has a very rich nutritional profile that consists of various organic compounds,
nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, which are responsible for providing all its impressive
health benefits. This list includes a huge amount of vitamin A, as well as significant
amount of vitamin C, vitamin E, and B vitamins (vitamins B6, niacin, thiamin,
pantothenic acid, and folate). In terms of minerals, squash contains magnesium,
potassium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, calcium, and iron. It is also a very good
source of carotenoids and other important anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.

Significance of the Study

Cucurbetes Page 1
 These parts provide a concise explanation on the benefits that the following group
of people will get from this study:

To the proponents
To acquire high profit from the product. Being a new face to the ice cream
industry will gain a lot of attention.

To the customers
They can be healthy by simply eating the proponent’s ice cream. Now a
days it is so hard to be healthy because most of the foods that we love to eat are not
healthy that’s why the proponents make this product.

To the future researchers

This study will help the future proponents to have a guide in making a
feasibility study.

To the locals/community
This study would enhance the steady supply of dessert in the community.

 MARKETING ASPECT

Name of the Firm

They decided to name it as Cucurbetes. Cucurbetes is a combination of words,
cucurbita and sorbetes. Cucurbita is the scientific name of squash and sorbetes is a
Filipino term for an ice cream. The proponents named it Cucurbetes because it is unique
and can gain a lot of attention made by their curiosity asking what the product is.
The proponents decided to make this kind of name for it is the trend of today’s generation
whereas the name of their business was a combination of two words.

Product Description
Cucurbetes is a combination of ice cream and squash. By eating these two
variations of food you can get both of of their vitamins and nutrients. Squash is a very
interesting fruit, and is often identified as a vegetable because it is a broad term that
encompasses a number of different foods, including pumpkins, zucchinis, courgettes, and
marrows. They have a number of overlapping characteristics and belong to the genus
Cucurbita. Squash has a very rich nutritional profile that consists of various organic
compounds, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, which are responsible for providing all its
impressive health benefits. This list includes a huge amount of vitamin A, as well as
significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, and B-vitamins (vitamin B6, niacin,
thiamin, pantothenic acid, and folate). In terms of minerals, squash contains magnesium,
potassium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, calcium, and iron. It is also a very good
source of carotenoids and other important anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.
Ice cream is the frozen food which is mostly consumed as a dessert. It is made with the
use of cream and milk or fruits and flavoring agents. Sugar or artificial sweeteners are
used to sweeten ice cream. Colorings, flavorings and stabilizers are also used. The
mixture is whisked to combine air spaces and cooled down to the water’s freezing point
in order to prevent formation of detectable ice crystals. It forms semi-solid and smooth
foam which becomes solid in low temperatures. It is consumed with spoons or placed in
cones. The vitamins that we can gain in ice cream are Vitamin A, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin
B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B-1, Vitamin B-2, Vitamin B-
3, Vitamin B-5, & Vitamin B-9. The minerals that we can gain in ice cream are Calcium,
Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, &
Selenium.
Cucurbetes is an ice cream that is more nutritious than any other ice cream
out there. It is served in cones, cups, or even in buns.

The table shows that in year 1, their estimated daily customers are 190. Therefore,
the proponents assumed that there are 5,320 estimated monthly customers buying
their products. Thus the proponents assumed that there are 65.75% days per year
acquired their product in year 1, and in year 2 there’s 73.97%, year 3 there’s
82.19% and year 5 there’s 93.15%.

Target Market
Our target market will be children and those who have poor eyesight. We are
targeting all those who have taste buds but especially those kids who don’t like to eat
vegetables because of its taste and texture.

Pricing Strategies
For the proponents’ pricing strategy, they will use the penetration pricing which
they will set a low price to enter a competitive market and raising it late. When the time
comes that their product is already well-known, they’ll change their pricing strategy into
competitive pricing which they’ll change their price based on what the competition
charges.

Promotional Strategies
For Customers
On the proponents’ opening day there will be free taste for the first 100
Cucurbetes
persons in our shop. The proponents want them to be satisfied in the taste of theirPage 6
product to make them buy our product more and to spread the word to it. The
proponents will make flyers and their social media page to advertise their product to a
large number of people.
The proponents will also make a commercial featuring their product so that the
consumers will be encourage buying not because it is an ice cream but because it is a
unique and healthy ice cream.
For Competitors
The “thing” that the proponents have that their competitors don’t have is the
healthiness of their ice cream. The proponents’ ice cream is rich on vitamins and
nutrients especially in vitamin A that is good for their eyesight. When the time that
the proponents have the budget to make expensive marketing strategies, they’ll have
an exhibit featuring their ice cream, hire a prestigious and famous celebrities to
advertise their product, to have some giveaways, and a free ice cream day which suits
to everyone.
Tagline “A scoop of healthiness.”
Having a tagline is also a part of promoting your product. The proponents’
tagline is “A scoop of healthiness.” In their tagline there is the word “scoop” which
for them means the act of taking the ice cream out of its box. They can also see the
word “healthiness” which emphasizes the benefits that they’ll acquire by eating
Cucurbetes.

Competitive Advantage
Product differentiation is the competitive advantage of the proponents. They have
the ability to provide better benefits than their competitors. For example, their ice creams
have a lot of vitamins and minerals that can help improve their body. They can attain this
kind of advantage because they haven an innovative products, a quality products, and
what nutrients their products have.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECT

Contribution to the Government

Government and business institutions in a country in many ways are interrelated
and interdependent. In today’s global economy, businessmen and entrepreneurs are the
driving forces of the economy. The main goal of businesses is to make a profit and
governments’ goal is to ensure economic stability and growth. Both of them are different
but very co-dependent. For this, the government and organizations or businesses always
try to influence and persuade each other in many ways for various matters. A balanced
relationship between the government and businesses is required for the welfare of the
economy and the nation.

Anyways, these are the common methods that the proponents’ business organization use
to contribute to the government:

Personal Conducts and Lobbying

The corporate executives and political leaders and government officials are in the
same social class. This creates a personal relationship between both parties.

Large Investment
One of the proponents’ goals is to make a very large investment in industries or
projects so that we could somehow affect government policies.

Contributing to Local Government with Taxes

When consumers patronize local small businesses, they are essentially giving
money back to their local community. A thriving local business will generate high levels
of revenue, which means that the business will pay higher taxes, including local property
taxes. This money is then used for local police and fire departments as well as schools. A
thriving small business also can improve property values throughout a community,
improving every homeowner's bottom line while generating more property taxes for local
governments.
The small business impact on local economy growth also takes the form of sales
tax collection. Local businesses charge sales tax based on their location and can be the
backbone of special taxation districts focused on unique projects, such as lighting and
sidewalk projects to improve historic shopping districts and attract additional customers.

Generation of Employment Opportunities

Creating jobs is a keystone of any economic recovery program. Providing jobs is
vital on many levels. Economically, employment provides income to poor families,
revives domestic demand for goods and services, and stimulates overall growth. Socially,
employment can also promote social healing, encourage the return of displaced persons,
and improve social welfare in the long run.

Cucurbetes Page 17
 Public works projects are effective ways to generate a lot of employment quickly
while demonstrating progress that benefits communities. Job opportunities can include
small-scale food- or cash-for-work projects, such as cleaning up public places, repairing
roads and facilities, or installing generators.

The proponents keep sustainability in mind, but avoid placing undue emphasis on it in the
very early stages of recovery. The proponents will keep on mind about the development
of trade relations to increase linkages among producers, processors, and markets. An
entrepreneurs like the proponents, creates lot of employment opportunities for different
sections of society. When the existing units of the proponents increase their production
capacity, more employment opportunities are created. The goods and services produced
by the proponents will be sold in the market. This would require the services of traders.
The increase in trading activity will further require the services of transport, warehousing,
insure, advertising, communication etc. The resultant effect would be creation of more
job opportunities in the economy.

Social and Community Investment (CSR)

Social and Community involvement is the power to bring positive, measurable
change to both the communities in which the proponents operate and to the proponents’
business. When the time comes that the proponents are on a stable financials, they will
have an in-kind and financial donations, employee volunteer days, enduring non-profit
partnerships, and more to invest in the community.

positive returns to local charitable organizations and neighborhoods and boosting
company performance indicators, such as reputation and employee engagement. As the
proponents’ company builds partnerships and working relationships with local
community non-profits and service-based organizations, neighborhoods are strengthened.

community partnerships so that the proponents’ are not only able to foster a workplace
culture that deepens employee commitment, but are also able to build enduring
relationships in the communities within which they do business and a quality that benefits
both companies and communities alike.
