OBJECTIVES:

The general objective of the project is to enhance the production efficiency of a grains
post harvest facilities.

Specifically it aims:

1. To improve milling recovery rate from 60% to at least 70%

2. To increase production by at least 18-20 % ;
3. To increase sales by at least 25%;
4. To increase income by 20%;
5. To generate employment by at least 3 workers; and
6. Awareness on good housekeeping and OHSS.

BACKGROUND:

The AQUINO-CATAMBING FARMERS TRADING RICEMILL was established to

cater to the farmers pre-production and post harvest needs of the various farmers of San
Carlos City. At the time of its construction in the late ‘80s, the dominant supplier of
ricemill equipment was the Casareno group of Bulacan, hence their machines and
services were hired by the owner. When the National Food Authority needed miller-
contractors to mill the Agency’s palay stocks, Mrs. Florida Aquino participated thereby
garnering numerous milling services contracts with the NFA. The firm survived the hard-
times of business particularly during the mid 90’s and is continually doing business
among the agriculture sector of the province. To date, the firm’s business includes
fertilizer and rice retailing, residential and commercial space rental, rice hull supply for
the Coca Cola Bottler’s Philippines-Calasiao plant and mango farming. Also, the firm is
regularly trading palay and supplying ricemilling services to the NFA-Western

Page 1 of 18
Pangasinan Branch. The firm also regularly supplies Virgin Milagrosa Hospital
Foundation with brown rice for the doctors and patients cereal needs.

A. MANAGEMENT ASPECT

1. Organizational structure

Present organizational structure of the business is:

2. Enterprise plan for the next 5 years/10 years.

The firm plans to strengthen its foothold in its business operations especially in
rice/palay trading and milling services. Together with this plan will be the
general upgrading of its milling machines to improve efficiency (higher
recovery - from 60% to 70% rice recoveries), producing quality rice (65%
headrice - 35% brokens), and reducing power consumption by at least 15%.
Moreover, the firm will continue trading with farmers, food processors, palay
traders and allied industries in Luzon area. Part of its plan is to amply supply the
cereal needs of Virgin Milagrosa Hospital Foundation in terms of its brown rice
consumption. It will also expand its trading of pre-production supplies such as
certified palay seeds and fertilizers their farmer-clients.

3. Current agreements/alliances undertaken.

The firm has been in agreement with the Progressive Farmers Multi Purpose
Cooperative located in San Carlos City as its major source of clean and dry
paddy. Aside from this, the firm continues to pick up from its allied buying
stations and farmers multi-purpose cooperatives in the towns / cities of Sta.
Barbara, Calasiao, Villasis, Asingan, Umingan and San Carlos City. The firm
maintains numerous rice stalls in San Carlos City to boost sales and also its
regular customers composed of rice retailers and traders. Virgin Milagrosa
Hospital Foundation is one of its clients of brown rice.

B. PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY CHAIN.

1. Product lines

Among the products and service of the firm are; Rice ( includes red and brown
rice ), Brewer’s rice, Fine Bran (D1), Course bran (D3), Matamata (MTM), Rice
husk and commercial milling services.

2. Sources of raw materials

Palay are sourced out from the different palay farmers, traders and farmer’s multi
purpose cooperatives in San Carlos City, Sta. Barbara, Calasiao Villasis, Asingan
and Umingan. Palay stocks are also regularly withdrawn from NFA Warehouses to
fulfill the ricemilling contract with the Agency.

3. Production plans

The firm plans to improve the efficiency of the rice mill. In like manner it also
wants to increase its procurement capacity as it increases its milling contract to
National Food Authority

Figures shown in the table includes the annual milling contract with NFA which is
around 1,665.36 tons palay with a rice output of 1,082.48 tons per annum. No
private milling was done for the previous year.

Page 3 of 18
5. Cost of Production/milling

Cost of production is estimated to a range, from 58% to 68% of the selling price.
This covers hauling cost, wages, milling (from Php0.32/kg estimated present
electric consumption to Php0.23/kg-Php0.27/kg), and storage and delivery costs.

6. Inventory

The firm does not maintain a steady inventory of rice stocks but has its business
partners and farmer’s cooperatives that are able and willing to supply clean and
dry palay for the whole year. However, the firm has to adjust palay prices being
purchased to these partners during lean months.

7. Production Capacity of the Ricemill

The present capacity of the ricemill is from 1.2 Tons per Hour with a milling
recovery of 65% for the NFA palay stocks and 67% for commercial rice stocks.
The present scheme in milling palay with the National Food Authority is payment-
in-king (PIK) scheme. This means that for every 100 bags of palay input, rice
recovery will be 65 bags will be delivered to the Agency and the remaining rice
recovery and rice by-products will inure to the firm as the payment for the milling
services rendered. The firm is maintaining an 8-hours daily operation, Monday to
Saturday and Sunday as maintenance day. At times when demand is at peak, the
ricemill will operate in a 20 hour cycle.

1. Production process

The firm usually does milling activity on a per batch basis with a total of 10 Tons
per batch. Processing time per batch takes an 8 hours milling hours. For every
batch, routine maintenance and quality control measures such as palay impurities
collected by the sifters and stoners are removed. Adjustments on belts and elevator
conveyor are also undertaken. The following are the sequence of processes
involved:

Maladjustment will result in
broken head rice and rice
dusting particles.
DUST COLLECTOR Locally Assembled Inefficient. Dust collection is
very low at 15% only.
Constant exposure to such
kind of workplace will pose
the workers to various lung
diseases/ illnesses.

Page 7 of 18
 Like any other firm, production equipment should be updated and replaced by
newer, energy efficient models. This will insure that production will cope up with
the required quality standards of production based on the unit cost, features,
system of operations, performance, capacity, energy/power consumption and
maintenance cost. The firm has not taken priority to upgrade its equipment and
has now seen the blunt of competition. To date, the firm had been overtaken by
other ricemill with newer and updated ricemilling machines. All of the
components of the ricemilling machine of the firm ares manually adjusted. It takes
so much time and effort to correct the right adjustment. Every breakdown of
components requires longer time to replace it as compared to newer machines.
These outdated machines operates on a several motors with higher rated output
ranging from 60 – 20 HP which requires higher electricity consumption. Since no
manual is present, the absence of the operator will mean delay in milling activity.
Even so, the operator cannot perfectly adjust this machine in times of breakdown.
Dust collection system is also not at par with the present models. Dust and palay
particles bombard the milling area and even spread in the neighborhood. Constant
exposure to such kind of workplace will pose the workers to various lung
diseases/illness. It also creates air pollution in the neighborhood.

The present state of the milling processes are the perceived constraints which
result to; high cost of power consumption & maintenance cost, difficulty in
attaining desired quality of grains (which is 65% long grain or higher) , lower
output and continue creating air pollution.

Pneumatic semi-automatic rice huller – This component de-hulls or separates

the paddy hull from the grain. Each two rollers are driven through a gear box with
single motor. Frequent adjustment is minimized as this is semi-automatic in the
adjustment between rollers. Provision of roller replacement is made easier and
faster. It is efficient and of minimal noise. It has a rated capacity of 2-3 tons per
hour.

Gravity Paddy Separator - this second proposed major component separates the
hulled grains from the de-hulled paddy by gravity and racking method (in lieu of
series of boxes that causes clogging of grains) and return back to the huller . This
is being operated by single motor. Like the huller, it has a rated capacity of 2-3
tons per hour.

Vertical Rice Polisher – the 3rd one, functions as grain polisher. It features good
quality output making low percentage of broken rice. It also possesses water spray
structures with moist contact that needs unique polishing, an additional feature
intended for inferior quality paddy. Its capacity coincides with the huller and
separator.

Dust Collector – Sucks/collects dust and palay particles thus preventing

or minimizing spread of dust in the production area including the neighborhood.

In the existing setup, the huller operates with three rollers, each roller has each
motor. The rollers are constantly in contact to each other with or without paddy
passing through it. Also the replacement of the rollers at most is done monthly
which requires additional time (1-2 hrs) to do the job taking certain time in the
milling operations. The paddy separator has two separate motors and has
aspirator blower. Its separation is through series of boxes that causes clogging of
grains. Another component is the polisher. It has two sections namely abrasive
and whitener. The operator usually has the difficulty in adjusting both, and failure
to do it right, will affect the appearance/quality of grain rice. It has also two
motors, one each for the abrasive and whitener. Also the existing dust collector is
sacks sewed together which traps only the rice husk. As a whole the capacity of
the setup is 1.2 tons per hour. It has more motors than the proposed setup.

The proposed set up will be energy efficient since new machine models requires
less power consumption, less maintenance and the rice recovery rate is high.
Recoverable rice from rice-by products will somehow contribute to the national
Page 10 of 18
 government’s rice self-sufficiency program. Further, savings from power
consumption and certain portions of profit from these technologies can be
translated to palay prices so as to help the farmers. If this technology will be
installed, the firm will raise its palay buying price since it can now compete with
other rice millers of the province.

1. Improved milling recovery rate by at least 10%

The proposed intervention will improve the milling recovery rate by at least
10% since the equipment to be installed will be capable of recovering head
rice and minimizing brokenness thus, rice recovery will be much higher
since the machine will deliver better efficiency. This will also insure less rice
wastage in the form of rice by-products.

2. Increased in production by least 18-20 %

The proposed machine will speed up production since milling speed will be
from 1.2 Tons/hour to 1.5 Tons/hour. The additional capacity will mean
additional 6 bags of palay to be milled every hour. Aside from this, electric
consumption will be drastically reduce since these new machine runs on
small motors and is independently operate from other machines.

3. Increased sales by at least 25%

It is expected that with the high crystalline whiteness that the new
intervention (vertical polisher) will give, demand will be higher that will
result to increased sales.

4. Increased income by 20%

That proposed intervention will guarantee an increase of income by as much

as 20% provided that factors such as flooding of imported rice in the market
will be stopped.

5. Generated at least 3 employment

Page 13 of 18
 With the machine, milling rate will become 1.5 Tons / Hour to 1.75 Tons /
Hour max. This speed requires additional (three) 3 manpower to handle the
bulk of paddy to be put in the dumping pit and the bagging and piling of
finished products.

6. Awareness on good housekeeping and OHSS.

With the installation of dust collector, good housekeeping can be be

observed. Also, OHSS measures will also be installed upon the set up of the
proposed intervention.

D. MARKETING ASPECT

1. Marketing Situation

The firm has loyal clients composed of rice retailers in the different towns of
Pangasinan. Aside from this, it has its own rice stall in the public market of San
Carlos City and at Don. M. Posadas Avenue. Walk-in costumers usually flock the
firm’s rice stall since it provides them of low priced rice.

2. Current market outlets for the product

The firm has numerous clients who maintain rice retailing outlets located at San
Carlos City Public Market. Virgin Milagrosa Hospital Foundation also regularly
orders brown rice for the hospital’s rice consumption. There are also numerous
clients of the firm from the nearby towns of Pangasinan plus the regular milling
contract with the NFA.

3. Competitors

Competitors are same players in the area and other firms in nearby
municipalities/provinces who have upgraded their rice milling facilities just like
the rice millers in Mangatarem, Calasiao and the Grains Processing Center in Sta.
Barbara, Pangasinan. These are the potential treat to the firm if it won’t be
upgraded.

4. Existing problems

The increase in prices of raw materials and other materials as well as on fuel /
power and rice mill parts and consumables.
4. Marketing plans and strategies

The firm plans to continuously maintain and sustain its good business relationship
with its customers as well as with the NFA.

E. WASTE MANAGEMENT/DISPOSAL
Page 14 of 18
 Rice husk as by-product in the milling process is sold as reflected in Table 1.

F. HUMAN RESOURCES ASPECT

1. Criteria for hiring of employees

Like any other firm, the bases in hiring are: skills, health, have good moral
character and a relative.

2. Incentive to employees

Incentives given are commensurate salaries/wages; Christmas gifts, emergency

financial assistance, and leaves for important occasions like emergencies for
family members.

3. Capability upgrading program for employees

Trainings/seminars are given to employees in case there are available trainings

conducted or offered.

4. Health and Safety measures practiced by the firm

Health and safety procedure is generally emphasized to the workers every after
work. They are encouraged to wear long sleeve shirts, safety shoes and masks.

5. Other employee welfare

Free meals and snacks, SSS and PhilHealth coverage. Year-end bonus is given
depending on the estimated earnings/income of the firm for the year.

G. FINANCIAL ASPECT

1. Statement of operations.

The firm’s finances have been increasing and its stock inventories are liquid. With
the ricemill upgrading, it can easily surpassed its income during the previous
years.

Since the business is capital intensive particularly palay buying, it has no

additional funds to acquire the needed equipment, thus, it is requesting SETUP
assistance.
