    Study Notes

    Agri-Entrepreneurship

    • Farmers can add value to their produce by processing it into higher-value products.
    • Direct-to-consumer marketing (B2C) eliminates middlemen and increases profits.
    • Alternative enterprises diversify income streams for farmers.
    • Niche markets offer stable income through B2B contracts, but potentially lower profits than B2C.
    • Agro-ecotourism generates income from entrance fees, attractions, and product sales.
    • Branding products and maintaining quality increases market reach and share.
    • Specialized services offered by farms can generate additional income.

    Farm Layout & Basic Facilities

    • Farms should include accessible housing, workshop areas for repairs and tool storage, secured chemical storage, outdoor bathroom and changing room, post-harvest handling space, and processing areas.

    Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)

    • Farms should comply with GAP standards to supply major malls and export products.
    • GAP certification is issued by the Department of Agriculture.
    • FAO guidelines provide detailed information on GAP practices.

    Agricultural & Entrepreneurial Practices

    • Plant variety selection plays a crucial role in successful crop production.
    • Seed treatment ensures healthy and vigorous seedlings.
    • Land preparation involves appropriate cultivation methods and basal fertilization.
    • Planting involves determining the appropriate planting rate, timing, and method, such as direct seeding or transplanting.
    • Irrigation supplies adequate water for plant growth, considering crop needs and soil conditions.
    • Weeding removes unwanted plants to prevent competition with crops.
    • Fertilization provides essential nutrients for plant growth, with different crops requiring different amounts and types of nutrients.
    • Harvesting should be done at the optimal time to maximize quality and yield.

    Packaging & Label Branding

    • Primary packaging directly encloses the product and must be food-grade, protecting against contamination and deterioration.
    • Secondary packaging facilitates branding, display, and logistics, providing additional protection during storage and transit.
    • Tertiary packaging enables efficient transportation and handling of larger quantities of products.
    • Brand identity includes company trademarks, names, colors, packaging designs, and product brand names.
    • Product information labels must include the product name, image, details, origin, manufacturing and expiration dates, and batch/product code.

    Storage/Transport of Finished Products

    • Storage of finished products should be in a controlled, aseptic environment to maintain quality.
    • Controlled environment includes appropriate temperatures, humidity, and light levels to prevent spoilage.
    • Systematic organization involves labeling, proper layouts, and efficient inventory management.
    • FIFO (First In, First Out) system ensures the oldest products are used first.
