What is the size of food industry in the Philippines?

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

It is a huge market but competition is brutal.  There is possibility of waste and spoilage.  Since there is no barrier to entry, every body can enter into the market and be a competitor.   Supply chain infrastructure can wreck havoc on the business as well as Acts of Nature like floods, typhoon earthquake, kotong policeman and the like.

I have seen presentation where a a multinational packaged food company sells $1billion worth or P50 billion a year   That was a decade ago;   maybe they are selling twice as much $2 billion worth.

A fastfood company sells about P200 billion worth annually. 

Would you like to be in this market?

A dream - collab between business school and SU specializing in agri education

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

While this post was teaching part time at GSB, he had opportunity to join a group of Filipino Chinese businessmen to visit a carabao institute, Agri School and Rice Institute  in Central Luzon.   Indeed there were a lot of opportunities presenting themselves during the field trip:     beef substitute from Buffalo Buffalis, Mosarella cheese from milk of said carabao, new rice varieties, other new plant strains, post harvest facilities.  agri implements developed at the SU.

The scientific work  on the other hand did not have commercial applications.  The students, and or the university did not have means and resources to monetize their inventions.   (And then some wise guys then that the govt did not provide funds or resources to the invention.  Yes.  The government does no have    all the answers.  We private citizens can research the answer

While we talk about:  food security, agricultural productivity,, nothing concrete was being undertaken to put the resources together. Collab.   Shared faculties, and or shared curriculum   Why not collab between the GSB and the academic institutions in Central Luzon.   I broached the ideas to the higher ups at GSB but since they were busy with existing programs   Each instution has life of its own or should we say own

inertia.

And then some wise guys drum beat why we are not helping famers, why we are not doing about increasing agricultural productivity

Why are farmers not benefitting from value created from their produce.  A simple supply chain template can handle that:   ie timing planting and demand season.  

Sayang!!  

What do you think can be done?    To close the great divide between educ instituionss?  Theory and practice.  

Let us join hands in helping our fellow Filipinos who have been victims of supertyphoon Yolanda; our country is our business

 Pictures of devastation in Samar and Leyte from Super Typhoon Yolanda

 


Let us join hands in helping our fellow Filipinos in the Visayas (Central Philippines) who need food, water, medicines, communications who were ravaged by super typhoon Yolanda last NOvember 8 2013.  The number of deaths (which has gone past 2,000 all ready) and property damage is staggering.   The relief and rescue operations is just the first part;   the reconstruction of houses and infrastructure would further strain our efforts and resources.

This is no time to start blaming others and other factors responsible for the number of deaths and amount of damages:  the looting that occured as an aftermath, the lack of community preparedness, the stubborness of people not to evacuate, ignorance of the storm surge during a very strong typhoon,  the lack of leadership and governance by LGUs in affected areas.  Let us do our best to help.  All ready, many countries (about 20) have pledged or have given  more than P3.00 billion in help in the form of medicine, family kit.  US, Japan have sent personnel - medical staff to help cure the injured, and soldiers to secure the area and deliver the relief goods to far flung areas.

Let us help:  AGSB students and alumni   "Our country is our business"


                    


                          

Why are having so much attention on food? -food as medicine

Why was cooking chosen as the vehicle for creativity and design in the class?

Well cooking is the best way to express our creativity, and is the best practice for learning to do. All of us eat at least 2x a day;  for most Filipinos, it is 6x a day (+merienda am and merienda pm)


The food industry, at least in the PHL is such a huge industry.  It is several trillions big.

There are several important points on food:

l.  There is growing important movement that food is the medicine and medicine is food from Hippocrates;

2.  Some diseases are caused by food:  diabetes is caused by too much sugar or food rich in glucose (high glycemic index), or migraine by high gluten diet (food with MSG or wheat products) or soda (softdrink).  In USA, obesity is traced to too much consumption of soda.

3.  Cancer is caused by acrylimide in burnt meat, bread and French fries.

4.  Food like Noni, graviola, turmeric (yellow ginger), mangosteen, garlic, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, celery) eggplants, okra, onions have healing properties vs. cancer.  Luteolin in  

5.  Water tainted with flouride retards development of children;

6.  Food containers with phthlates contain toxic chemicals and/or xenoestrogens that trigger cancer (from hormonal imbalance)Such are PET bottles for water and other "health drinks"

7.  Fish that are tainted with mercury are toxic to the body; mercury is a heavy metal that is a poison and eventually lead to death;

8.  GMO food upsets the intestinal flora and upsets the neurological makeup of the individual (GAPS) theory

9.  Garlic and turmeric are good vs high blood pressure;

10.  BJ (buko juice) contains more potassium than banana and the best sports drink;

11.  Sugar substitutes  and sweeteners cause neurological disorder, obesity, even arthritis;

12.  Berries and cherries can cure joint pains and arthritis

13.  VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil)  It has been proven in US (at least at Dr. Mercola site) that coconut oil is as healthy as olive oil. can cure Alzheimers

14.  Brown rice can lower lipid level;   garlic also lower lipid level and hence is good for cardio vascular diseases.

15.  Water melon can prevent BPH condition in prostate, and makes for good viagra substitute

16.  Flouride (which is a component of rat poison) in toothpaste and water can cause neurological retardation in children.

17.  Sugar substitutes in softdrinks and other sweet stuff are dangerous to health:   aspartame and sucrolase (splenda)

18.  There are only two known cure of diabetes:   EXERCISE AND DIET

19.  We must eat raw food:  vegies and fruits so that our enzyme level do not go down.  Eating too much meat tires the pancreas which lowers enzyme production later on life;  when enzyme level go down, according to Dr. William Kelly, cancer stem cells that lie dormant in our body become uncontrolled and cancer starts.

20.  Eating raw liver and pancreas daily can boost enzyme level to control cancer.  The enzyme therapy was replaced in 1900 by radiation because Mme Curie who discovered x ray said that radiation therapy is more convenient.  However cure rate from radiation is placed at 6%;  the radiation therapy harms healthy patient and weakens the patient;   this is not a desired condition for cancer patient.  He must be made strong to counter ravages from cancer cells.

So there you are:  twenty (20) useful tips on food

Cancer cure rate from the data of Dr. Kelly and as verified by Dr. Gonzalez who was sent by Sloan Kettering to discredit Dr. Kelly was at 97 to l00%.  Proves that enzyme therapy from raw liver and pancreas work.
