PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

Rationale:

The Municipal Poverty Database indicates high poverty incidences. In

general, the causes of high poverty incidence in some barangay of Valencia
city are low farm productivity, lack of livelihood skills, high dependency on
government services and goods which are grossly limited, and low literacy
rate. Majority of the population have reached only elementary grades
attributing to lack of skills and high unemployment rate. Women accounts for
almost 50% of the population with 5% percent employed as working
professionals, while the rests are part-timers workers, under-employed and
full-time housewives. This situation harbors opportunities for livelihood project
along with other services. Since Valencia has clayey soil which is highly
irrigated and favourable to climatic condition is very conducive for crop
production it is very suitable for irrigated rice to the City known for its variety
of Valencia rice. The infusion of buy and selling of will improve farm
productivity and source of income, food, draft power and organic materials for
environmental sustainability. The project will likewise motivate people,
especially the women to participate more meaningfully in strengthening their
communities by being a partly owner of a cooperative.

Goals and Objectives:

The goals and ojective of the Program shall be as follows:

low prize rice from the cooperative in their barangay.

3. By the end of the project, solidarity and sustainability communities are

inhanced.

members of the cooperative buy receiving devidends every end of the year
through their income from buying and selling rice.

Tongan-Tongan will be accepted to be bought by the cooperative. Every family
in Barangay Tongan-Tongan is also free to buy the rice available in the store
of the cooperative in a very low prize but only member of the cooperative will
enjoy the dividend that will given to all members of the cooperative by the end
of the year.

D. Technical Services

To ensure productivity of project, the following technical services shall be

provided;

Rice Appraisal

The present NFA grading system is of two types: Field grading during
procurement and laboratory grading after procurement.

Field grading during procurement is a very important phase in post-production

operations. At this stage, all grains being procured from individual farmers,
corporations or cooperatives are inspected and analyzed to establish the
quality of the commodity. By doing so, the commercial value of the commodity
is assessed as well as its fitness for processing, storage or distribution to
insure good quality of rice will be sold in the cooperative store.
During procurement of paddy, moisture content and purity are quality factors
which form part of the basis of payment and are therefore properly determined
before the grain is procured.

At the buying stations, farmers' produce are sampled randomly by means of a

grain probe and the gathered sample is then inspected. Purity, damaged and
discolored kernels are determined by ocular inspection by quality assurance
officers, while moisture content is determined by means of a calibrated
moisture meter. The produce then is graded according to the following NFA
buying specifications:

This way, during harvest time of the barangay, the cooperative will buy
massive amount of rice and can surely be sold to NFA due to its proper rice
appraisal.

Costomer Services

The following are the process and flow of the services

- Proper allocation of sales lady and warehouse laborer to insure smooth

operation.
- Regular meeting of the staff for heads up and reporting for monitoring
purpose to insure errors and problems.

PROJECT BENEFITS AND COST

Beneficiaries

The project will directly benefit the all qualified member in the barangay of the
city. This is at least for the initial operation of the project. It can be assumed
that more poor families will be benefited from the income generating
cooperative. Other families, even those who are not covered by the project,
can still benefit from the project, by learning the technology and methods
adopted.

Social Benefits

The project will be implemented in such a way that poor families will be given
the opportunity be a partly owner of the business of the cooperative. The
selection of beneficiaries shall prioritize those mostly deprived families but can
sustain and act on the responsibilities expected from them. In the long run,
these beneficiaries shall have the chance to improve their living condition
expected from the economic benefits in buy and sell cooperative.

Economic Benefits

This buy and sell project, in the long run, would provide members with better
economic gains. This will provide beneficiaries with more stable cash inflows
as the business grew bigger and becomes self sustaining. Increase in income
would stimulate economic growth in the barangay as this will lead to
increased expenditures for goods and services, thereby promoting a healthy
economic backward and forward linkages in the ciity. The project will also
support in expanding the supply-base of rice in the city, in support to the food
sufficiency thrust of the national government.

Social and Economic Costs

There are no actual or foreseen negative social or economic effects of the

project to the community, economy or to the environment. It conversely
promotes better welfare to the people and stimulates economic development
in the city.
