INTRODUCTION

A. Nature of the Business The Philippines is one country whose people are known to be fond of drinking fruit shakes, sagot gulaman, pineapple juice, etc. because the Filipinos are known to have sweet tooth, Jam-me team conceptualized flavored taho in Zamboanga. While most Filipinos were thinking about refreshments, shakes and coffees, we are busy innovating something better which was based on Jello Burst--this refreshment was brought from Manila by Reginald dela Paz (owner) that created an instant hit among its drinkers. The newest drink is a unique and refreshing drink- that is pure to delight many. What makes the drink different and enticing (Flavored Taho) is the chewy sago combined with various flavors such as: mango, buko pandan, melon, ube, sweet corn and vanilla. Each flavor has its own distinct taste that is sure to please peoples different palates. The drink is served in distinctive dome-shaped cups with oversized colored straws that allow the sago to shoot up the mouth when the drink is sipped. The business will start as an incubation income generating project and will later be developed into a full- blown manufacturing concern. B. Background of the Study Jam- me Flavored Taho is a new product to be introduced in Zamboanga City. As a must, owners have to screen the applicants to ensure success. This is a new venture product, if this study finds the project viable.

The price for the said taho proposal is Php 500,000. This includes the rental, cart, signage, acquisition of equipment and utensils, uniforms, raw materials and other paraphernalia. C. Significance of the Study This study determines whether the business of Jam-me Flavored Taho in MindPro Citimall Zamboanga, along La Purisima Street is feasible or not. Also, it determines the consumers preference in terms of price, quality and distribution of the product. Lastly; this study determines the awareness of consumers and its reasons for patronizing Jam- me Flavored Taho. D. Objectives of the Study The main objective of this feasibility study is to ascertain the viability of venturing into a flavored taho business. In line with this objective, this study therefore attempts to undertake the following: Identify, rationalize, analyze and understand the key success factors of Jam- me Flavored Taho, and thereafter, exploit opportunities to improve the business. Introduce and analyze the overall activities and performance of Jam- me Flavored Taho- both internally and relative to the carcinogenic effect on drinkers, and thereafter, assess its strength and weaknesses. E. Scope, Focus and Limitation of the Study It must be realized that this study is limited only in the market acceptability and viability of Jam- me Flavored Taho. The target market of this study are people from all

walks of life most especially health conscious ones. The proponents chose this location for the simple fact that it is near the schools premises Ateneo in particular because it is known to be a captive market. Other constraints of this study were related to inflations, economic and political conditions, as well as other calamities that will be encountered during the study. The study focuses more on the various aspects of the project feasibility study which includes the following: Market study, Technical study, Management study, Socioeconomic study and Financial study. F. SWOT Analysis 1. Strengths The company is the sole source of flavored taho in Zamboanga City. Accessibility of taho products in the target market The company is registered under BFAD, DOLE, DOH and other government authorities that certify the safety of the product. 2. Weaknesses Taho product easily gets spoiled Product substitutes The company may expand its sales area to other schools within the City. 4. Threats Competitors imitation of flavored taho Permanence of competitors in the area- classic taho peddler Low-entrant market

3. Opportunities

G. Methodology The principal sources of data in this study came from actual observations within Ateneo premises and personal interviews with the different taho plants present in the city. The researchers spent most of the research time in the school premises observing the sales and demand of these products so as to gauge the number of cups sold in a day by the taho peddler. Moreover, the project feasibility was implemented after all sources and data gathering are being conceptualized. Proposing a said venture promotes a catalyst of change for the benefit of others most especially, health-conscious people. The thing that derives proponents consciousness seeks the importance of health after knowing its benefits. Studies were finally initiated combining all the important aspects to know whether the project is viable.

I. Marketing aspect Market Description Not since the days of Shawarma and Lechon Manok was the country played witness to a food craze. Ordinary taho that was innovated and become an instant hit is more of a business opportunity than a more beverage stand. The whole concept of jazzing up of what used to be an ordinary drink has turned into todays hottest craze that people are willing to line up for. The proposed project business is Jam-me Flavored Taho. The supposed Jam-me Flavored Taho stand will be located on a 3 by 4 square meter area in MindPro Citimall, along La Purisima St. Zamboanga City. It will be situated at the second level of the building, in front of Teen Squad boutique and beside Z.C. Video Mate. Along that sketch, you can also find Giordano and Oxygen boutique. The sight is very much ideal for the project considering that the location is a hit for teenagers. The total project is estimated at Php 500,000.00, which will be funded by the owners. The amount covers the acquisition of equipment and utilities, as well as, the monthly supply of raw materials and working capital. Nature of Demand Demand for Taho The analysis of demand is part of the important task in identifying the needs of consumers and determining whether they are willing to buy your product, and have the capability to pay for the products a business is contemplating to produce.

The demand for Taho in Zamboanga City is growing tremendously for the past decades. Taking the beverage by storm, Icecapades sells an average of 42.2 cups (regular size) and 140.79 cups (large size) per day. Thirsty in Mindpro Citimall cannot be considered a direct competitor but only a potential substitute. Although the proposed site of Jam-me Flavored Taho is also at MIndpro Citimall, the quality and taste of Thirsty is incomparable with Jam-me. Therefore, it is not actually affecting the sales of Jam-me Flavored Taho. Below are sales schedule for Icecapades located at 2nd level Mindpro Citimall. These sales were based on the actual data given by the owners. Day 1 represents the start of the week (Monday). The peak sales of Icecapades are usually on the weekdays, that is, Friday and Saturday. Day Size 1 Regular Large 2 Regular Large 3 Regular Large 4 Regular Large 5 Regular Large 6 Regular Large 7 Regular Large 8 Regular Large 9 Regular Large 10 Regular Large 11 Regular Large 12 Regular Large Icecapades Quantity Sold 45 142 40 120 38 140 36 128 55 152 60 165 25 108 42 141 39 162 44 149 32 129 47 159 Price 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 12 16 7

Considering Jam-me Taho, though, it has no direct competitor, Icecapades was invariably pointed as competitor considering it is located at the 2nd level of Mindpro and the newly hit closed-ties competitor-to-be for Jam-me Flavored Taho.

Supply Analysis Supply, like any other aspects affecting the operation of the business, indeed, has been playing a role in satisfying what the peoples needs and wants are. The higher the supply of products in the business is, the more it can cater the needs of the masses. There are variables affecting supply. As such, are the cost of production, availability of raw materials, competitors and the price of the commodity. Production cost would require greater amount of many to finance the processing of the commodity. Nevertheless, taho does not require a very much complicated financial aspect, it isnt already that difficult for us to produce the said commodity. When tackled about availability of raw materials, we can say that its accessible enough for us to secure those materials needed to produce taho. Most of those can be acquired in a public market. We merely purchase it by kilo; soybeans in particular, while the rest of those can be expressed by volume and may it be kilo as well, like cups to be used and other ingredients such as sugar respectively.

The existence of competitors in the food industry is there, that does challenge in any other businesses like ours. With regards to this, we are aiding much to supply a lot to serve the masses utmost and to endure over existing competitors. Yet, oftentimes, its a burden for us especially if they have much more to penetrate the market. Lastly, the price of the commodity defines how far a business could offer such prices as affordable as the business could have. It is said to have competitive prices and that can be expressed by how the business could keep an eye to the masses desire to acquire the commodity. Definitely, taho is one of those; it isnt that expensive for the consumers to purchase it. Hence, the above factors mentioned are indeed necessary to identify the supply of a certain commodity. The supply of Jam-me Flavored Taho (ingredients in particular) will partly be coming from Executive Homes, Pacific Street, Matina, Davao City. Other supplies will be bought here in Zamboanga. Shipment of the ingredients and supplies will be done quarterly. By the time this study is taking place, the Jam-me flavored Taho will soon be sprouting like mushrooms here in Zamboanga. And hundreds of outlets will soon exist all over the Country.

Supply and Demand Analysis Competition is at the core of the success or failure of firms. Competitive Strategy is the search for a favorable competitive position in the industry, the fundamental arena in which competition occurs. It aims to establish a profitable, sustainable position against the forces that determine industry competition.

In any industry, the rules of competition are embodied in five competitive forces: the entry of new competitors, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers and the rivalry among the existing competitors. The collective strength of these five competitive forces determines the attractiveness and profitability of the industry.

I. THREAT OF LOW-ENTRY New entrants to an industry bring new capacity, the desire to gain market share and often substantial resources. The threat of low entry into the industry depends on the barriers to entry that the entrant can expect. If barriers are high and/or the new comer can expect sharp retaliation from entrenched competitors, the threat of entry is low. The threat of entry in the food or refreshment business is low because of the presence of barriers to entry. These barriers are as follows:

Economies of Scale Economies of scale refer to the declines in unit cost of a product (or operation or

function that goes into producing a product) as the absolute volume per period increases. Economies of scale deter entry by forcing the entrant to come in at large scale and risk strong reaction from existing firms or come in at a small scale and accept a cost disadvantage.

10

Product Differentiation Product differentiation means that established taho competitors have brand

identification and customer loyalties which stem from past customer service, product differences (taste), or simply being first in the industry.

BFAD Licensee BFAD approval plays a key role in the food and beverage business. On the other

hand, trust on the customers will be affected once they know that the product they are about to take has been approved by BFAD to be free from foreign substance that could cause disease and cancer.

II. INTENSITY OF RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING COMPETITORS Rivalry occurs because one or more competitors either feels the pressure or sees the opportunity to improve position. The intensity of rivalry among existing competitors is low to moderate because of the following:

Few and Equally Balanced Competitors In Zamboanga City, there are only eight (8) taho producers. No other, company

ever tried innovating the taho. Though there is no established taho plant but taho peddler can be seen around the city, we could say that these are relatively balanced in terms of size and perceived resources.

11

Fast and Industry Growth Fast industry growth turns competition into a market share games. Market share

competition is a great deal more volatile than in a situation in which rapid industry growth ensures that firms can improve results just by keeping up with the industry, and where financial and managerial resources may be consumed by expanding the industry.

Pressure from product substitute-low All firms in an industry are competing, in a broad sense, which industries

producing substitute products. Substitutes limit the potential returns of an industry by placing a ceiling on the prices firms in an industry can profitably charge. The more attractive the price performance alternative offered by substitutes, the firmer the lead on industry profits. In Jam-me Flavored Taho, the pressure from substitute products is low. The quality that the taho has cannot be equaled by its substitutes. Substitute products such as fruit shakes and soft drinks.

The Buyer faces no switching costs.

This Flavored Taho is said to be undifferentiated and the buyers can choose among different products available in the market to suit his taste buds. If the buyer is not satisfied with the quality and taste of the product, he can easily move to another brand without having the worry about consistency.

12

Pricing Jam-me Flavored Taho stand will have one (1) size available to the market. Standard cup (12 oz.) will be sold at Php 15.00. This is the suggested retail price imposed by Jam-me Company for Zamboanga area at Mindpro Citiall. Flavors available: 1. Mango 2. Buko Pandan 3. Melon 4. Ube 5. Vanilla 6. Sweet Corn Jam-me Flavored Taho will be offering six (6) flavors in the market. These flavors have been carefully selected by the Jam-me Team to produce a slurpy, best-tasting outof-this-world drinks that will surely hit the city by storm.

Promotion and Advertising As a start-up business of flavored taho, the management will tap the local newspaper, local television and hopefully to have a continuous advertising of Jam-me flavored taho in the future.

13

Packaging and Quality Consideration Jam-me flavored taho will be packed on the standard dome-shaped cups with a humongous straw sticking out of the cups. Jam-me logo and colors will be printed all over the cup. Consumers and potential buyers might be able to see these cups in wastebaskets whenever they have a walk on the mall, school or anywhere, thereby adding curiosity on them.

Projected Sales Projected Sales of Jam-me flavored taho will be 225 cups of 12 oz. at Php 15.00, an estimated 101,250 gross sales per month. Jam-me Flavored Taho Schedule for Projected Sales (For five Years) In Philippine Peso 2007 225 2008 225 2009 202 2010 228 2011 234

H. Raw Materials Situation Analysis

26

All raw materials (cups, lids, straw, flavored syrups) will be bought from Executive Homes, Pacific Street, Matina, Davao City on a cash basis, Orders will be per-quarter basis. Said materials will be shipped through Aboitiz Express with the cost of Php 2,000.00 quarterly. Except for sago and soy beans-will be bought from the public market of Zamboanga City. Raw Materials Soybeans Description A species of legume native to eastern Asia. It is an annual plant that may vary in growth habit and height. The bulk of the soybean crop is grown for oil production, with the high-protein defatted and "toasted" soy meal used as livestock feed. A smaller percentage of soybeans are used directly for human consumption. Soybeans are a source of complete protein.
