EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed unit has an installed capacity of 1 ton per hour of rice husking and 1
ton per hour with rice polishing annually on 16 hours per day operational basis. The
unit will operate at 65% of the installed capacity during first year of operation. This
production capacity is estimated to be economically viable & justifies the capital as
well as operational cost of the project.
The estimated total cost of the proposed is PhP40,179,500. The project will provide
direct employment opportunities to 25 people including management; additionally,
seasonal worker will also be engaged.
Based on financial projections, the business will generate an estimated net income
of PhP1,161,649.67 in its first year of operations with an ending cash flow of
PhP12,514,883.00. Further, results of financial analysis show that: (a) Return on
Investment is 3%, 6% and 10% for the 3 years of operations. A gradual increase that
shows a promising business venture. (b) Its Internal rate of Return, using 10%
discounted rate, is equivalent to 11%. (c) According to the Payback Period Analysis,
the total investment of the project can be return in a span of 2 year and 6 months.
(d) Based on the Breakeven Analysis, as shown below:
Based on the foregoing, the proposed Nueva Vizcaya Commercial Rice Hub is
feasible.

RATIONALE
In the country’s second geographical region (from south to north) lies vast
agricultural lands, Nueva Vizcaya, otherwise known as “gateway” to the valley, has
other flagship crops, like oranges, pineapples, salad vegetables, cut-flowers,
mangoes, livestock and fish farming, rice farming stands out as a common
denominator.
The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) confirmed that some 139,000 hectares
of the region’s total land area are planted with rice. Further, the construction of the
Magat Multipurpose Dam has provided a steady irrigation for rice farms in Isabela,
while Cagayan river irrigates the northernmost province in Luzon.
The wide-scale devastation brought about by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991
damaged thousands of fertile farms in Central Luzon. It also caused the drying up of
the Pantabangan Dam reservoir in Nueva Ecija, a major source of irrigation water in
the central plains, thus, stripping the former rice granary of the Philippines of its lofty
status.
It is precisely for this reason that the water flowing from the Casecnan river from the
southern part of Nueva Vizcaya has been tapped to boost both power and irrigation
requirements of Central Luzon through a 26-kilometer underground diversion weir
that would siphon Vizcaya water to the Pantabangan Hydroelectric Dam in Nueva
Ecija.

Today, Cagayan Valley has emerged as the country’s grains granary.
In the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, the table below summarizes the Annual Palay
Sufficiency for 2015-2017, to wit:
Thus, this proposal. It aims to encourage the establishment of support facilities such
as Commercial Rice Hub as this will enable farmers to deliver their produce to the
market on time, and thus, avoid spoilage and unnecessary losses.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND SERVICES
The proposed unit would be providing husking and polishing services to rice
producers. Additionally, the unit would also be purchasing local rice paddy for de-
husking and polishing the rice to sell it into the market. The husking unit would
operate 7 months in a year and polishing unit works all year round.
A. Production Process
a. Rice Husking
Husking is the process of separating the rice from the husk. Rubber roll
and hullers are used to shatter the paddy to produce rice. The husking of
paddy produces different products, which include 55% Head Rice, 9%
Broken Rice, 3.5% Powder Rice, 31.5% Husk and 1% Waste and Dust
Particles. Different processes are used for separation of head rice, broken
rice, rice powder, dust and bran. The husking unit operates seven months
in a year.
b. Rice Polishing
Polishing is the process of cleaning and polishing of brown rice
(head/broken rice) to produce different value-added rice products such as
silky and non-silky rice. In this process various types of cleaners /
polishers are used to give shine and silkiness to rice.
In the current industrial practice, both the husking and polishing units are
not operated at the same time due to certain reasons. After the husking
operation, the brown rice requires a time of six to ten weeks for drying and
conditioning. So, the brown rice is stored for a period of at least two
months before taking it to the polishing process.
The proposed unit would polish (process) in-house rice obtained from the
husking process and the remaining capacity would be used to provide rice-
polishing services to other rice suppliers. The processed rice (both brown
rice and polished rice) would be stored during the first few months of
7|P age
harvesting season, as the prices are generally lower due to oversupply of
rice in the market.
B. Product Mix
The proposed project would mainly provide husking and polishing services to
rice producers who do not own a husking and polishing unit. It is assumed
that 10% of the husking machinery capacity would be utilized in providing
husking services, while the remaining 90% of the capacity would be used to
process the paddy rice purchased / bought by the federation.

Similarly, portion of polishing service capacity will be used to cater for the

The products produced from the husking unit include: Head Rice, Broken

polishing unit and the broken rice, powder and husk are sold into the market.
The percentage of each product is given in the table below.

CRITICAL FACTORS
The following are critical factors to be considered for the project to be successful, to
wit:
• Complete adherence to best agronomic practices is critical to the success of
this project; therefore, technical knowledge & experience of the entrepreneur
in the field of food processing technology / business is absolutely necessary;
• Selection of quality paddy rice on the basis of best analysis of cost and
revenues for a given season; cost efficiency through better management;
• Appropriate logistics and transportation of paddy rice to the processing unit;
• Brand positioning and enhancement of production of rice may widen national
and international market for the product;
• Organic rice produced with the use of bio-fertilizer, bio insecticides and
pesticides has a good domestic and international market;
• Efficient recovery of by-products and their utilization may improve operational
performance;
• Properly trained seed staff should be engaged and comprehensive staff
training programs to be adopted for capacity building;
• Careful selection of good location and purchase of land at competitive price;
and,
• Effective marketing and distribution of the product particularly to the retailers.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
According to the Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Socio-Economic and Physical Profile
(PSEPP) 2017, the provincial palay production increased from 0.21 MT (2011) to
0.26 MT (2017) with an annual average growth rate equivalent to 3.89%.
Furthermore, the production area also expanded from 55,999 Ha (2011) to 62,324
(2017) or an equivalent growth rate of 1.89%. The mentioned variable increase
resulted to an increased production from 3.9MT (2011) to 4.39MT (2017).
The table below presents the production volume and area per municipality in the
province:

2 as well as nearby provinces including Manila. It will specifically target the following:
• Hotels, Fast Foods and Restaurants;
• Traders, Suppliers and Exporters of Rice;
• Local Retailers;
• Departmental/Supermarket Retail Stores;

b. Space Requirement
The most critical factor for setting up a rice unit is the accessibility to raw
materials. As mentioned earlier, it is recommended that the location of the
proposed project will be at Brgy. Malasin, Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya.
The total land requirement for the proposed project is 2 hectares or 20,000
square meters. Mr. Alexander Tominez, the federation’s treasurer, is willing
to provide the said land for free in the initial periods and with lease agreement
on the succeeding period (i.e. 5 year of operation). This would be beneficial
for the project as the investment required for infrastructure and other costs is
high and it is not advisable to invest a huge amount on the procurement of
land. Total estimated land cost is taken at PhP5,000,000.00 per hectare.
