ON

FOOD PROCESSING PRODUCTION

Requested for Funding by the

Cooperative
Brgy. Sugod Proper, Marawi City
 I. Executive Summary

The Onward for Growth and Utility of Power (OGUP) Agriculture

Cooperative, an active and operational cooperative in Marawi City and Lanao
del Sur has officers and members with a big Heart in helping the Maranaos not
only in times of calamities, but also in the daily living of people from all walks
of life.

“OGUP” means to help. This is where the members got their coop name, not
only to help themselves, their cooperative members but also their families and
the Muslim UMMAH. Their commitment is seen and felt during the recent
Marawi Siege. Their cooperative was, despite being newly born strived hard and
was able to put up a Sari sari store at the center of Brgy. Sugod but was lost
by robbers and looters. They took opportunity that everybody evacuated and
took all the items the cooperative have just invested.

Despite the losses, the group did not stop. There is an urge that members
have to go on. Their belief is “It is not the end of the World.” Everybody
needs help. They therefore strengthened their oneness. While others are busy
retrieving share capital and replenishing small amount, others are also busy in
trainings and seminars for skills and product improvement.

The general assembly’s final decision is to focus on Food Processing

Production since there is a great market not only in local communities but
also in outside nearby cities and even abroad. There is just a need to enhance
and improve the quality of their product and also the kind of packaging they
have.

The estimated budgetary requirement:

1. Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) P10, 000,000.00

Constant Monitoring & Evaluation of the project shall be conducted by

concerned officers in order to make sure of increase of income and minimize
losses.
II- INTRODUCTION
A. Organization Description

The Onward for Growth and Utility of Power (OGUP) Agriculture Cooperative
is a duly registered cooperative with the Cooperative Development Authority-
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (CDA-ARMM) in year 2017, but was
organized in year 2014. “Ogup” is a Maranao term which means to help. This
was given meaning by the officers with emphasis on helping their own selves,
their families and their communities making use of their unity, knowledge,
strength and resources that they may be able to attain economic stability and
better living condition.

The previous area of operation of the cooperative was in Brgy. Bago a Ingud,
Ditsaan Ramain, Lanao del Sur but the cooperative store was located in Brgy.
Sugod Marawi City. The General Membership decided to transfer the official
station or address from Brgy. Bago a Ingud, Ditsaan Ramain to Brgy. Sugod
Marawi City. This is due to the reason that most members and even non-
members could best be served if the coop center be located at Brgy. Sugod,
Marawi City, and it is also accessible to all members, officers and even
community residents.

There are twenty six (26) original members who are both graduates of the
Alternative Learning System (ALS) including the trainers of the program who
jointly pooled their meager resources together to form a small group business.

B. Project Background

The first operation of the cooperative is on a sari sari store or basic

commodities trading. The members use their share capital. However, members
were saddened by recent Marawi Siege that happened. Their small investment
was lost not by bombs but robbers or looters. Their newly established
cooperative store was gone and nothing was left to them except problem on
how to regain it back and pay their loan.

There is a need for the cooperative to recover back their lost capital. They
have to restore it, not only for themselves as members, but for their families
and to help the home –based evacuees, who at that time experienced scarcity of
food and other necessities and if there are available stores, cost of commodities
rose up that evacuees and even residents had a problem of purchasing some.

Members again pooled whatever capital they may contribute and engaged
into food production out of the members’ farm products. While other members
find means of selling small grocery items in some parts of Bubong, Ditsaan
Ramain and Mulondo, others also tried learning more and undergo trainings
on Food Processing Production like Palapa Making, a Maranao spicy delicacy
and appetizer. Peanut Butter, Dressed Chicken, Ice Cream, Fresh Chicken,
Ground Meat, Bunch Burger Making, and others. Members sell their products
at the local markets to earn more and to regain back their lost business.

“Palapa” is one of the best appetizers produced by the Maranaos or the

People along the Lake Lanao. This is most loved by not only the Maranaos but
also those from other parts of Mindanao, Visayas and even Luzon. The
ingredients are commonly grown in the mountainous towns of Madalum,
Madamba, Calanogas and other towns surrounding Lake Lanao. “Sakurab” or
“sibudjing” among Cebuanos are best suitable in hilly areas. This is a variety
of onions that grows in cold places. Ginger or luya and siling labuyo to make
the product hot and spicy are also grown in most parts of the province of Lanao
del Sur. “Palapa” is a product that is commonly sold in markets of Marawi
City, Saguiaran, Marantao and other nearby towns.

The cooperative members decided to process and sell this kind of product
since its resources are locally available in the market and also produced by
many Maranao farmers. They may be able also to promote the product that
they may call their own.

C. The Problem

The cooperative officers and members intend to solve the following problems:

1. Lack of sufficient capital to engage in “Food Processing Production

business;
2. Members and officers need more skills and expertise on preserving
and packaging Palapa that it may reach other countries for export;
3. Numerous Maranao delicacies produced at the local market are not
preserved and packed well and do not maintain sanitary practices
causing producers to stop selling and which results to failure; and
4. Lack of exact selling practices and techniques to increase income by
increase the volume of business.

D. Goal and Objectives:

The project aims to economically uplift coop members’ living condition by

engaging into Food processing Production and selling it to local markets and
members may be able to pay the loan the acquired and enjoy the benefit of
group business by being a cooperative member.

Specifically, the following shall b e the objectives:

1. To be able to strengthen the Food Processing Production project of the

Cooperative and increase production;
2. To continue the capital Build up Program and savings of the cooperative
to generate capital for the business;
3. To request or apply for financial assistance from line agencies, nor

4. To be experts on food preservation and packaging;
