1.Rationale

Calamansi is indigenous to the Philippines and is widely cultivated

throughout the country. It is an important agricultural crop for top producer
MIMAROPA, as the region supplies 58%, or 102,628 MT of total production in
the country. 99% or 101,601 MT of the region’s production, comes from
Oriental Mindoro, hence the name given to the province “Calamansi King”.

Among the fourteen towns in Oriental Mindoro, Victoria contributes the

highest Calamansi production in terms of volume, the number of hectares
planted, and average productivity. In 2012, Victoria reached peak production
at 7,325 metric tons, or 58.58 percent of the total production in the province,
and was reported to have the highest average yield of 13.1 metric tons per
hectare (Oriental Mindoro Agricultural Office).

In the recent years, owing to the lack of appropriate institutional and

marketing arrangements as well as value adding activities for calamansi, the

1
industry faced and oversupply and surplus of fresh produce during peak
production periods which, in turn, resulted to heavy post-harvest loses lower
prices and smaller income received by the farmers. Thus the Calamansi
farmers opted to shift from other commodities and veered away from
maintaining their Calamasi farms. This resulted to the decline in the area
planted to Calamansi in Victoria- from 2,205hectares in 2008 to only 884
hectares in 2012 (Victoria Municipal Agriculture Office, 2012). Despite this
shift, in supply and demand, which resulted to price problems, there is still a
growing market demand for processed Calamansi in the domestic market in the
form of Concentrated juice, Jam, Pie and the like, given fast growing market for
healthier and naturally grown food with environment friendly production
processes and packaging technology.

2. Objectives:

General:

Improve the processing technologies and practices of Calamansi farmers

Specific:

1. To train at least 3% of the Calamansi farmers and their family

members in Calamansi processing

2. To assist in establishing Processed Calamansi enterprise in the town

of Victoria

3.Activities

This project will have the following major activities:

The MinSCAT and LGU will work together to materialize the training
activity. The thirty (30) potential cooperators are the target participants which
are the target participants to this training. The LGU will facilitate the activity
while the MinSCAT will assign the resource persons for the entire duration of
the training.

4.Target Participants

This training is expected to be attended by thirty (30) calamansi farmers

from the different barangays of Victoria. Participants will be chosen based
from the criteria/guidelines set on this project. They must be willing to
undergo and to complete the processing training for two consecutive
Tuesday and one Sunday.
