Value Chain Analysis of Calamansi(citrus madurencis) PhilDHRRA – LSFM Project June 8, 2008 Hanoi, Vietnam
Outline • Background of the Study • Calamansi in Philippine context • Production, Costs and Returns • Trading and Marketing • Prices • The simple Value Chain Framework • Next Steps
Background of the Study • Part of the research component of the LSFM project • Describe the market chain and chain actors involved • Understand the dynamics in the calamansi market • Limited to Phase 1 of the VCA only
Calamansi in Philippine Context • One of the major fruit crops and is excellent source of Vitamin C • Sold as fresh product to markets and commercial buyers • Processed into syrups, juices, concentrates, powder and purees, and has many medicinal uses • Has contributed to agricultural export market, but not a major export crop • Major source is Central Philippines and some portions of Mindanao
Production, Costs and Returns • Calamansi production was decreasing (2000-2004) but reversed this trend in 2005 onwards • Yields averaged 9 tons per hectare in the last 7 years (2000-2006) • Major source is in Oriental Mindoro province (60%), but they can only harvest 4-6 months in a year • Southern Philippines (Mindanao) contribute only 15% of total production, but they can harvest year-round • Average farm size is ¼ hectare, although 20% of calamansi farmers cultivate more than 1 hectare of land
Production,Costsand Returns Two ways of looking at costs: • Cash – Non-Cash and Imputed COSTS • VARIABLE and FIXED COSTS
Cash Cost Approach in Calamansi (Php) - 1997 Production,Costsand Returns
Production Costs (Case study in Zamboanga Sibugay, 2005) Production, Costsand Returns
Production, Costs and Returns Costs (/ha) Php 26,000 (US $ 604) Production (/ha) 9 tons/hectare (average) Farmgate Price Php 116,700/ton (US$ 2,714/ton) Revenue Php 90,000/ton (US$ 2,090/ton)
Trading and Marketing Disposition of the Product: 97.5% Sold 1.2% Wastage/Shrinkage 1.3% Payments (Rents/loans/shares)
Farmer Assembler / Distributor Retailer Consumer Trading and Marketing Calamansi Simple Chain Actors
Trading and Marketing What we know: • The major trading hub is Metro Manila • All producers supply outside of their province • Direct marketing of fresh calamansican be profitable for farmers • Engaging in processed calamansiis more profitable • Entering the industrial use market will be more exciting
Ave. production cost: PhP3.95/kg Ave. marketing cost: PhP4.56/kg Farmer Assembler/ Distributor Retailer Consumer Ave. farmgate price: PhP11.67/kg Ave. wholesale price: PhP19.90/kg Ave. retail price: PhP29.41/kg Simple Value Chain
Trading and Marketing What we have to find out (Phase 2): • Who are the players in the industrial market use? • How much is the market segmentation? • What are the price differentiation in each industrial market segment?
Next Steps • Do Primary Data-Gathering in 2 provinces • Complete the data-gaps in the VCA • Industrial market • Product inventory • Capacity-assessment of calamansi farmers • Initiate capacity-building activities
