Profile of Target Market(s)

Zamboanga City is the center for education in Western Mindanao. It is a home to three universities, three computer colleges, ad numerous colleges and institutes in the Zamboanga Peninsula region. The Department of Education – Zamboanga City Division records a total of three hundred fifty-two schools in all education level including pre-

school in school year 2007-2008. Two hundred forty-five (245) and one hundred one (101) of these schools are government-owned and privately-owned, respectively. This number is six less than the recorded number of schools in school year 2006-2007. The closing of twelve private elementary schools and the opening of one public high school, three public pre-elementary schools and two private pre-elementary schools contributed to the decrease. The Department of Education – Zamboanga City Division has in record 175,319 and 176,079 students in the preschool, primary and secondary level in school years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008, respectively. More than ninety percent of the schools in Zamboanga City have their own school canteens. A survey was conducted to thirty different schools located in the city proper, east and west coast in Zamboanga City. Twenty-eight of the thirty schools have canteens located inside the school and these canteens are owned by a cooperative of  teachers and staff members. Ten students for each of the twenty-eight schools were handed out questionnaires to determine their purchases and purchase level from the canteens. Five out of ten (50%) students visit and buy from the school canteen once a day either for  snacks, lunch, or school supplies; three students (30%) seldom go to the canteen (less frequent than once a weekly) and buy school supplies and drinks. The remaining two students (20%) never go to the canteen because they bring their own food and school supplies or because they do not have money at all. Three out of the five regular canteen goers are likely to buy snack food. Two out of these three snack buyers prefer commercialized chips like Chippy and Piatos and

other junk foods. One prefers home made snacks like bico, cassava cakes, sandwiches, and bananaque. Eleven of the twenty-eight school canteens were selected as targeted place of  distribution of the product. Nine out of eleven pre-selected school canteens committed to buy the product from the business. The Brent Hospital and College Inc. and Immaculate Conception Archdiocese School are the two schools who responded “No” when asked if  they will buy the proposed product. All nine prefer the goods to be on consignment basis.

This term provides that each pack of 50 grams honeydipped banna chips is

priced at P6.00. Payment on the delivered goods for the day shall be made on the next day’s delivery. The schools were chosen for their large population and the nearness of  each school from another. The latter reason will generate efficiency in the delivery and collection of payment. The following are schools/canteens which committed to buy the product, with their corresponding population and location: Schools 1 Claret HS 2 WMSU (Lab High & College) 3 ZNHS West 4 Pilar College (All levels) 5 STI College 6 SCC (HS & Colleges) 7 Universidad de Zamboanga City (College) 8 Universidad de Zamboanga Tetuan (HS & College) 9 ZCHS Main

Marketing Plan

A. Marketing Mix

Product  Mr. Yummy banana chips are healthy and delicious snacks. Bananas are dipped in honey syrup before fried. The product does not contain any preservative or additive. The banana chips are packed by 50 grams in plastics and are each pack is individually labeled.

Price Each pack of 50 grams of banana chips is priced at P6.00. This is because the desired gross profit margin is 75%. A unit cost of P2.18 with a gross margin of this rate will result to a rounded off-price of P6.00. The price of the Mr. Yummy Banana Chips is not greatly different from the price of the products of the competitors. In fact, the wholesale price of the Member Food Dealer and Guiwan Special Banana Chips, which distributes to retail and convenience stores, is also P6.00. Prices of other competitors range from P6.50 to P10.00. Such differences in the prices, however, shall have the least significant effect in the competition. Price is neither the competency nor strategy of the proposed business.

It shall focus instead in delivering banana chips product, unique and special for its honey content. Furthermore, the main distribution links of the competitors are the grocery stores and convenience centers. These stores will sell the products at P9.00 to P15.00. Miles Company shall do direct delivery of its products to the school canteens and stores at P6.00.

Place or Distribution The delicious and healthy banana chips product will be distributed mainly to canteens of the different schools in Zamboanga City. Initially, it shall deliver to the canteens of Claret High School, Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga National High School West, Pilar College, Brent Hospital and College, STI College Zamboanga, Southern City College, Universidad de Zamboanga - City Campus and UZ Tetuan Campus, Zamboaga City High School Main and Immaculate Conception Archdiocese School. The first five schools above are located in the west area of the city while the last three schools are located in the east. STI College, Southern City College and Universidad de Zamboanga are found within the city proper. Since the business aims to make it known also to non-school canteen customers, it will deliver to retail stores in Guiwan, Tumaga, Canelar, Sta. Maria, and San Roque. Canteens of GSIS and BIR are also targeted. Cash collection shall be made on the following delivery. Given that delivery shall be made daily, collection of the day’s delivery shall be made on the following day. Collection from these non-school canteens and retail stores shall be made on the next

Saturday of delivery. This is to encourage these customers to buy and patronize the proposed product.

Promotion The business shall be promoted by word of mouth and through personal selling efforts of the business proponent. Packaging and labeling will be enhanced more to further promote the product.

and ZC

The banana chips products of the competitors listed in the foregoing page are almost alike. Except ECOCO banana chips, which uses table banana or sweet plantain of the Musa acuminata group like the lady finger ( sulaybaguio) and ‘’Gros Michael” (lakatan) bananas, all of the companies use saba and cardava. Peeled and sliced bananas of these varieties are deep fried and packed in plastics. Miles Company, however, shall soak the banana in honey syrup before frying. This shall result more delicious and nutritious banana chips. This gives Miles Company edge over all its competitors.

C. Factors in the External Environment that Affect the Business

Political Factors The Local Government of Zamboanga City as well as national government agencies like the Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Science and Technology are supportive to entrepreneurs and the whole business sector. The current political issue involving the ZTE project does affect the business directly or indirectly.

Economic Factors Inflation is a problem of all businesses. Although inflation does affect the business in the costing of the raw materials and pricing of the finished goods to a great extent, it significantly affects the purchasing power of the money given to students as allowance.

Socio-Cultural Factors Mr. Yummy banana chips product competes with other snacks in capturing the taste and preference of students who are the end customers of its market. These other  snacks include the potato chips of Jack and Jill Corporation, cheese curls and other junk foods. They are often preferred by students.

Technological Factors Training on banana chip production in the future, can open doors to the use of  technology in the business. Technology, automation can increase the efficiency of the production, in volume and quality and can therefore pave the way to banana chips export.

Operational Plan

A. Production Process The Mr. Yummy Banana Chips production process shall be as follows:

Raw Materials Inventory

Peeling of the bananas

Slicing of the banana

Soaking in honey and sprinkling of sugar 

Cooking in vegetable oil

Cooling

Packaging

Finished Goods Inventory

Production shall be daily, the cooking in the morning and manual packaging in the afternoon. Finished goods for the day shall be delivered the following day. Goods produced on Fridays are distributable to non-school canteens on Saturday while goods made on Saturdays are to be delivered on Monday the following week. Bananas will be peeled and sliced. Peeling and slicing of one bunch and two hands of bananas will take one hour and fifteen minutes. Ten kilograms of peeled and sliced bananas shall be soaked in honey and sprinkled with sugar. The sliced bananas will be soaked in honey syrup for thirty minutes and then drained. They shall be fried, five kilograms first and then the remaining five. A cooking strainer shall be used to facilitate the emerging and sieving from oil of cooked banana chips. Frying will only take 30 minutes for all ten kilograms. The cooked banana chips will then be spread over large “bilao” atop with absorbent paper and will be cooled for one hour without manual or  electric fanning to maintain its crispiness. Cooled banana chips are then packaged by 50 grams in plastics. They are measured first using a small but precise weighing scale and should be 50 grams in weight before sealing. Packs are sealed and labeled. The following table summarizes the banana chips production process with the length for each step:

Financial Plan

A. Unit Costing Unit cost is derived from the batch cost divided by the number of units each batch produces. Unit cost is as follows: Raw Materials 10 kilogram banana (peeled, 1 bunch and 2 hands of  bananas) 2 botles of honey 1.5 kilogram brown sugar 1liter cooking oil (to be used only twice to maintain quality) Total Raw Materials Units Produced (of 50 grams) Raw Materials Per Unit Packaging Cost Per Unit Plastic Label Direct Labor Per Unit Factory Overhead (Wood Coal)

* 100% input in kilograms = 95% outputs in kilogram

One hundred percent of banana as an input will produce only ninety-five percent of  banana chips as an output. This may be due to the loss of moist content of banana when fried and cooled. The 10,000 kilograms of banana, therefore, will produce 9,500 grams of banana chips, or 190 packs of 50 grams of banana chips.

B. Production Volume Daily production for the first year of operation is 190 units. Annual increase is projected at 40 units for the four (4) additional school canteens to be captured each year.

C. Mark-up Desired gross profit per unit is 75%. Price of the banana chips, therefore, for the first year is P6.00 per unit.

D. Merchandise Inventory Only the goods produced at the last working day of the year are expected to remain unsold at year end. This based on the assumption that delivery of goods produce during the day will be delivered on the following day. Ending merchandise units will be sold in the first working-school day of the year.

E. On Account Only goods delivered to non-school canteen customers on the last Saturday of the year are considered to be on account. For projection, a daily sale multiplied by 6 days credit term for non-school canteen customers is equal to the Accounts Receivable at year end. Since all purchases are on cash basis, there shall be accounts payable at the end of  the year.

F. Fixed Assets The following the fixed assets to be used in the conduct of the business and their  corresponding acquisition cost, useful life, annual depreciation:

The straight line method of depreciation is used in computing for annual depreciation expense. The motorcycle vehicle to be used in the delivery of product shall be purchased from EMCOR Veterans, Zamboanga City on installment basis. Down payment for the purchase is P3, 500 and equal monthly installment is P2, 500 inclusive of interest, for 24 months. The present value of this future payments based on the 15% per annum interest

offer of EMCOR is P 51, 560.00. This amount added to the down payment amount is equal to P56, 560.00, the cost of the motor vehicle.

G. Project Cost and Financing Initial project cost is estimated at P 29,207.33 and shall be financed through a cash gift from parents upon graduation of the proponent. Working capital of one (1) month is allotted for both production cost and operation expense. The cost to acquire manufacturing equipment and the necessary down payment and installment payment for the first month for the delivery equipment are also factored as a capital expense.

The net present value of a project is the present value of the expected cash flows that the business will receive as result of investing into the project. The Net Present Value of the project is P 327,280.02, and this is the value that will be added to the initial investment. Since, the NPV is positive, the project could be considered financially viable. Internal rate of return is defined as the discount rate that equates the present value of the project's future net cash flows with the project's initial cash outlay. If the IRR is compared with the interest offered by banks or other risk-free investment instruments, the IRR of 145% is much higher than the rate offered by investing to government bonds such as T-bills. This means that this project is a more attractive investment.
