Study Notes

Introduction

The owner, Mr. Rolly Soro, had a piggery farm which was affected by the African Swine Fever (ASF).
He transitioned to quail farming after losing his pigs to the ASF virus, inspired by his friend Romeo Madulid and desire to pay off debts from the piggery.
His farm is named Nek Nek Egg Trading, named after his wife.

Company Background

The piggery farm was established in 2016 and registered in 2019.
It grew significantly under the management of Manny Cruz, a farm worker.
ASF outbreak in 2019 led to significant losses for the farm, resulting in ₱2.5 million debt.

Organization and Management

Mr. Soro is in charge of farm operations as owner, supervisor, and troubleshooter.
He manages paperwork, contacts suppliers, and handles customer concerns.
There is one farm worker, an elementary graduate and close friend of Mr. Soro, responsible for cleaning, feeding quails, and collecting eggs.

Production Management

The farm is located in Barangay Saranay, Sto. Nino 3rd, San Jose City, Nueva Ecija.
The farm's maximum capacity is 15,000 quails, with a daily egg production of 10,000.
The farm uses ad libitum feeding, but faces challenges with feed supply due to the company’s payment terms.
Mr. Soro inspects the farm regularly to ensure efficient operations.

Marketing Management

The farm's primary product is quail eggs.
They sell 100 eggs per box, priced ₱110-₱ 130, depending on market fluctuations.
Culled quails, not productive for egg laying, are sold for ₱18 each.
Products are sold directly at the owner’s house, in public markets, and delivered to buyers.

Financial Management

The farm started with a ₱500,000 capital for initial setup.
Mr. Soro estimates a 60% expense ratio, resulting in a 40% profit margin.
He owes ₱250,000 to Sarimanok (Pigrolac) due to the previous piggery farm, which has been significantly reduced from ₱1.5 million.

Challenges

The biggest challenge is meeting market demand due to insufficient egg production.
Transportation difficulties and broken eggs during delivery further complicate supply chains.
Mr. Soro sometimes relies on other quail egg producers to fulfill orders.
