MANAGEMENT
THE PROCESSING SUBSYSTEM

• This report delves into the application of

agribusiness in crops, poultry & livestock
fisheries, and forestry, highlighting key
players, recent updates, and challenges
withen these areas.
 PROCESSING SUBSYSTEM

• The processing subsystem in agribusiness

management plays a crucial role in
transforming commodities from the production.

• Agribusiness encompasses the entire

agricultural supply chain, from production to
marketing, aiming to enhance efficiency,
productivity, and profitability. It includes
various sectors like farming, processing,
distribution, and marketing, playing a crucial
role in the global economy by providing food,
jobs, income, and rural development while
ensuring food security.

Processing Philippine
Crops: Adding Value
from Farm to Plate
 ANALYSIS OF PROCESSING METHODS AND VALUE
ADDITION

Corn Drying and

Rice Milling: Milling:

• Paddy rice undergoes hulling, polishing, and fortification to
create tastier and more nutritious white rice.
•
• Brown rice milling retains the bran layer, offering increased
fiber and nutrients.
• Sun drying or mechanical dryers preserve corn
kernels for year-round use.
• Milling transforms corn into grits, flour, and
cornmeal for various food applications.

beverages and concentrates.
 EXPLORATION OF MARKET TRENDS AND CONSUMER
PREFERENCES
Organic farming
• The growing demand for organic
produce is driving the adoption
of organic farming practices,
with minimal use of pesticides
and fertilizers.
• Processing facilities are adapting
to handle organic crops,
ensuring product integrity
throughout the chain.
Convenience Food
• Busy lifestyles have fueled the
demand for convenient food options.
• Processing methods cater to this trend
by creating pre-washed, pre-cut, and
ready-to-cook vegetables and fruit
mixes.
• Frozen meals and snacks incorporating
processed Philippine crops offer
convenience without sacrificing taste.
Health and Wellness:
• Consumers are increasingly health-
conscious, seeking out products with
added nutritional value.
• Fortification with vitamins and
minerals during processing enhances
the nutritional profile of Philippine
crops.
• Minimally processed options that
retain natural nutrients are gaining
popularity.

Processing Poultry &

Livestock in the
Philippines: Ensuring
Safe and Quality Meat
PROCESSING POULTRY & LIVESTOCK IN THE PHILIPPINES:
ENSURING SAFE AND QUALITY MEAT
Slaughtering:
Poultry and livestock are humanely slaughtered
following regulations to minimize stress and
ensure product quality.
Cutting and Deboning:
• Skilled butchers or automated cutting lines
portion meat into various cuts like breasts,
thighs, and ground meat.
• Deboning techniques remove bones to create
boneless meat for specific dishes.
Preservation:
• Traditional methods like salting (tocino) and
drying (tapa) preserve meat.
• Modern techniques like canning and freezing
extend shelf life and ensure wider availability.
Processing for Specific Products:
• Ground meat is seasoned and stuffed into casings
to create sausages like longganisa.
• Adobo marinade or similar recipes are used to
create pre-marinated meats for convenient
cooking.
EXAMINATION OF PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
National Meat Inspection
Service
• The NMIS enforces regulations to ensure meat
safety and hygiene throughout the processing
chain.
• Inspectors conduct ante-mortem and post-
mortem examinations of animals to prevent
diseased meat from entering the market.
Technological Advancements:
• Automation is improving efficiency and hygiene
in meat processing.
• Automated cutting lines can portion meat with
greater precision and speed.
• Temperature control systems ensure proper
storage and prevent spoilage.
Processing Philippine Seafood:
From Catch to Consumer
3
OVERVIEW OF FISH PROCESSING PRACTICES AND SEAFOOD
VALUE CHAIN
Catching:
• Fishing techniques range from traditional
methods using nets and traps to modern
commercial fishing vessels.
Post-Harvest Handling:
• Freshly caught fish are sorted, cleaned, and
chilled immediately to maintain quality.
Preservation:
• Traditional methods like drying ( tuyo ) and
salting ( bagoong ) preserve fish for longer
periods.
• Modern techniques like canning ( sardines )
extend shelf life and create consumer-ready
products.
Processing for Specific Products:
• Fish are filleted, deboned, and prepared
for various uses, like fish fillets for
cooking or conversion into fish balls.
THE SEAFOOD VALUE CHAIN DIAGRAM:

The value chain tracks the journey of fish from catch to consumption, involving fishers, processors, distributors,
retailers, and consumers.
CONSIDERATION OF SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES AND MARKET
DEMANDS
Sustainable Fishing Practices:
• Overfishing is a major threat to marine
ecosystems.
• The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources (BFAR) promotes sustainable
practices like closed fishing seasons and
responsible fishing gear to protect fish stocks.
• Aquaculture, raising fish in controlled
environments, offers a sustainable alternative.
Market Demands:
• Consumers are increasingly concerned about
seafood safety, quality, and traceability.
• Processing methods that minimize waste and
ensure ethical sourcing are gaining favor.
• Convenience is a key factor, with demand for
ready-to-cook and pre-marinated seafood
products growing.
