CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the project background, its proponents, proposed name of the

business including the mission, vision, and logo description, the type and location of the business.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Fertilizers an artificial or natural are the components that increase plant productivity and

development. Fertilizers help the soil increase its fertility thereby promoting growth. The use of

manures as compost is presumably as old as agriculture itself. With the help of fertilizers, plants

become resilient against harmful plant pathogens, pests, and weeds. Elimination of diseases in

plants increases the value in the harvest. A present-day synthetic fertilizer incorporates at least

one of the three components that are most significant in plant sustenance: nitrogen, phosphorus,

and potassium and of secondary significance are the elements Sulphur, magnesium, and calcium

(Pathak, 2019). Therefore, reliable and quality-improved agricultural produce at affordable prices

to buyers and consequently great profits to farmers would be ensured by the essential role of

pesticides. Moreover, pesticides provide such benefits not only to farmers and consumers, but

also to the whole society. The most frequent method of managing pests and diseases in most

agricultural sectors is through the application of pesticides. Farmers may be involved in pesticide

overuse when trying to control different pests because they often have limited information about

pest occurrence and appropriate methods of control (Sharifzadeh, 2020).

The agricultural chemicals market in India is predicted to increase at an annual rate of

8.6%. India’s agricultural chemicals market is a significant contributor to the Asia Pacific

agricultural chemicals market’s growth. Due to the massive consumption of pesticides and
2

fertilizers for farming activities, the Asia Pacific region is growing at the quickest rate on the

planet and the region’s adoption of modern and advanced farming practices. Thus, the increased

effect of urbanization, the landmass available for agriculture is gradually shrinking, giving an

urge for farmers to utilize various agricultural chemicals to boost land productivity and maintain

soil health as demand for food items rises. However, insufficient understanding of the benefits of

agricultural chemicals among farmers, as well as their low adoption of modern-day farming

practices, may stymie the market (Niir, 2021).

According to Soriano et al., (2020) the farm fertilizers business in the Philippines is a

growing industry, with the demand for fertilizers expected to continue to increase in the coming

years. This is due to a number of factors, including the increasing population, the rising incomes

of Filipino consumers, and the government's focus on agricultural development. According to

Espejo (2023) findings suggest that the government and other stakeholders can promote the

adoption of organic fertilizers by rice farmers in the Philippines by providing farmers with access

to information about organic fertilizers, making organic fertilizers more affordable and providing

farmers with access to credit. There are a number of challenges that farm industry face in the

Philippines. One challenge is the high cost of fertilizers, this is due to a number of factors,

including the high cost of raw materials, the high cost of transportation, and the high taxes on

fertilizers. Despite these challenges, the farm fertilizers business in the Philippines is a promising

industry as there is a large and growing market for these enterprises in the Philippines. Hence,

this provide a gap that farmers in Barangay Central Bulanan has no existing agricultural

enterprise that offers pesticides and fertilizers that are nearly accessible by the farmers of the said

location and its neighboring Barangay.

PROJECT PROPONENTS

PROPOSED NAME OF THE BUSINESS

“Hiniray-a,” is derived from “iraya” meaning “upstream,” “ka” meaning “companion,” within

fixation “in” meaning “to have undergone something”. Thus, as the name suggests, it represents the

farmer's companions in their up-and-coming journey in their agricultural field. In their experience of

various challenges and successes, this enterprise is their go-through partner.

The name Hiniray-a will surely catch the best interest of the potential customers, enough to draw

them to try and buy agricultural products. Moreover, it also emits the spirit of inquiry that attracts the

target market: farmers and all passersby in nearby Barangays. The business's ambiance and location

will also give off a convenient feeling to the customers who choose to buy.

Mission

Our mission is to set the standard and values in operating agribusiness to have quality

assurance, the most convenient, and affordable products to ensure the farmer’s necessities are

met.

Vision

We envision providing affordable, quality, and adequate service while generating sales as

the first and leading agribusiness in various municipalities of Cotabato Province.

Logo Description

Figure1: Hiniray-a Logo

The logo for the Hiniray-a represents the blossom of love for providing service to the

farmers. The golden tone of gold represents success, triumph, and accomplishments connected to

success and money, abundance and quality, respect and growth, worth and polish. Additionally, the

gold color suggests drive, wealth, and extravagance that dreams by Hiniray-a to be achieved by

these people. The farmer icon represents the man behind the food on our table, the farmer itself. Its

dedication towards cultivation and producing abundant harvest, Hiniray-a is his partner. The two

waves represent the direction of the owner’s dream wave to offer convenience and quality service

and products as this is the first agri-business in the Barangay. The circle represents health and

safety, efficiency, and business protection. Hence, it also demonstrates the infinite owner’s love

and passion for the customers’ farm and agricultural livelihood.

TYPE OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION

Hiniray-a is a sole proprietorship business, and Angelyn D. Patos owns it. The proposed

idea would turn into an agricultural enterprise, requiring a full-time employee and aiming for

productivity while offering a variety of effective and quality pesticides and fertilizers. The

proprietor will be in charge of managing every aspect of the Hiniray-a. She is in charge of

overseeing the entire business operation, recruiting one (1) cashier and one (1) helper for the

business. Hence, the projected target audiences are the farmers of Central Bulanan and

neighboring Barangays.

LOCATION OF THE BUSINESS

The proprietor is responsible for allocation the Hiniray-a in Barangay Central Bulanan,

Midsayap. The agribusiness is easily accessible by nearby farmers that will be placed in Central

Bulanan. The proprietor reasoned that individuals looking for affordable agri-products and an

accessible location would find it to be good, beneficial and reasonable.

and fertilizers at the Central Bulanan and its neighboring barangays and the station will utilize them.

Other needed products which are not available will be purchased from other places. The purchase of

products will depend on the availability of the stock.

2. The demand of Hiniray-a Agricultural enterprise products will increase as the number of farmers

increases in the Central Bulanan, which is essential in the next three years of its operation.

3. As the demand expands, sales are maximized to expand product sales and employee salaries.

4. The business expansion of Hiniray-a Agricultural Enterprise will also help the community by

producing more job opportunities in the barangay of Central Bulanan.

CONCLUSION
