I. Introduction

If there is one thing that would unite all Filipinos, it is certainly not a politician, a hero or

a great man, but something everyone love and would fight for --- FOOD. And yet, there

are thousands of barangays or barrios in the Philippines that are vulnerable to hunger

and malnutrition according to the Department of Health and National Nutrition Council

(NNC). Filipino children’s eating habits has been changing as they eat more calories

and no longer eat vegetables. The influence of adult members has a lot to do with the

children’s changing eating habits. Children eat what the adult family members eat, say

by the NNC in a study.

Alarmed by the changing eating habits, the government together with the television and

radio programs in the Philippines joined force in campaigning for a higher consumption

of vegetables and to advocate locally produced nutritious food, specifically vegetables.

The survey indicated that children do not want to eat vegetables because it is not

“palatable” it gave motivation for the Queen She Company to create a product which is

not only healthy but tasty as well. Children are nuggets enthusiast, Queen She

Company decided to add a little twist in it. The company came up with Veggie Nuggets,

a combination of chicken and vegetables. Queen She Veggie Nuggets contains good

source of vitamins, calcium for strong bones, and protein for growth and provides

energy to the body.

Queen She Company focus on providing Filipino children with the nutrients’ bodily

needs as well as capturing the taste children will surely love.

F. Location of the Head Factory

The main office and production

site of Queen She Co. will be situated at

#16 Maginhawa St., Sikatuna Village,

Diliman, Quezon City. The said location

is accessible to several big and famous

wet markets to which the company

wishes to supply such as Commonwealth market, Philcoa Wet Market, Kamuning

Market and Farmers Market.

The company chose the said location due to less competition, numerous establishments

surrounding the area and availability of raw materials in the area.

Sikatuna Village, Diliman, Quezon City is located near Anonas Extension and very

accessible to many schools and churches including Claret School of Quezon City, Holy

Family School, and Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.

Quezon City is the most populous city in the Philippines with 2,680,000 residents

as of 2007. It is located in the island of Luzon. Quezon City (popularly known to Filipinos

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 12: Format

as simply QC) is one of the cities and municipalities that make up Metro Manila, the

National Capital Region..

Having been the former capital, many government offices are located in the city,

including the Batasang Pambansa, the seat of the House of Representatives, which is

the lower chamber in the Philippine Congress. The main campuses of two noteworthy

universities, the Ateneo de Manila University and the country's National University—the

University of the Philippines, Diliman—are located in the city.

G. Brief Description of the Project

Veggie Nuggets

“Life is good when you are eating a healthy food.”

This product provides a healthier twist of ordinary chicken nuggets.

This product contains vegetables that are rich in vitamins such as vitamins A, B and K

mixed with a small amount of chicken so as to allure the children to eat said product

without hesitating due to their perception that vegetables are not palatable. As studies

show, children today prefer meat over vegetables. This product will help parents

introduce vegetables to their children in an innovative manner and in such a way that

will ensure the approval of the latter.

This product development aims to attract the market through its original and inventive

approach of selling Vegetable Nuggets.

Veggie Nuggets aims to educate the consumers on the true understanding of good

nutrition, its lifelong benefits, and how it plays an important role in one's healthy, active

lifestyle. We make sure that our products are of uncompromising quality and easily

within reach.

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 14: Format

H. Market Feasibility

The survey conducted in preparation for this study manifested the feasibility of the

product. There are still more children who eat vegetables and are open in trying our

product rather than those who do not.

The company’s target market are parents with children ages 4-12 and members of

social classes C and D in four wet markets in Quezon City due to its high rate of

population and wide market potential.

The distribution sites were chosen due to its proximity in the production area and

number of residents in the Barangay where the wet market is located.

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 15: Format

I. Technical and Production Study

The production site and the main office shall be located at #16 Maginhawa St., Sikatuna

Village, Diliman, Quezon City due to the availability of raw materials in the area and its

strategic location for distribution. The production site shall be equipped with materials

and equipment that are necessary for the production of Veggie Nuggets. The office shall

contain supplies and materials that will be needed in the conduct of its affairs.

Our suppliers shall be ABA Farm for chicken and Bendita Farm for vegetables. Both of

them are trusted suppliers in their industries due to its fresh products, low price and

speedy delivery service.

Queen She Co. makes sure that it shall produce products that are high in quality and in

agreement to quality control standards. All raw materials delivered by the suppliers will

be checked so as to ensure its freshness. Upon manufacturing, all employees shall be

mandated to wear the proper attire such as hand gloves, hairnet and apron. It shall also

be the responsibility of the management to make sure that their employees are in good

health and free from any germs and bacteria by providing hand wash areas.

The company only has minimal waste. It shall compost the leftovers of vegetables and

all other biodegradable items used and recycle items that are reusable and non-

biodegradable.

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 16: Format

J. Management Feasibility

The company believes that ineffective job assignments are one of the reasons of poor

employee performance that would eventually result to poor company performance.

Ineffective job assignments either lets an employee have a harder time in completing a

task or lets him exert less effort that would lead to inferior quality of work. Also, it causes

more stress and problems not only to the employees but also to the company.

With these, the firm shall hire employees based on their credentials and training

performance. Each shall be given a specific job assignment that would match his

knowledge and skills. In addition, all the partners will take charge in the business and its

affairs. Every partner shall render her services to the company. Each shall serve as a

head for a specific department to manage its affairs and employees. All these shall be

done and practiced to have a healthy, efficient and effective work environment.

The company is committed in providing their employees a safe and healthy work

environment due to its belief that its employees will serve a vital role in the success of

the business.

IV. Marketing Aspect

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 38: Format

A. Market Study

Quezon City is a highly urbanized city and most populous city in NCR as well as in the

whole Philippines. Its total population as of 2009 is 2,307,637. All levels of social

classes can be found in this city. From very rich people who are CEOs of big companies

to squatters who are living in houses made of pieces of wood.

The following are the most populous barangays, to wit: Commonwealth (172,834),

Batasan Hills (148, 624), Payatas (117,001), Holy Spirit (106,038) and Pasong Tamo

(82, 340).

However, not all of these barangays will be covered for the company’s distribution due

to certain limitations inherent to a starting business. The following barangays are to be

covered by our distribution: Barangays Commonwealth, Culiat. New Era and Batasan

Hills. They were chosen due to their proximity to the company’s target market.

In the long run, the company will be able to successfully penetrate every wet market in

the city and in the whole country as well as supermarkets.

B. Research Methodology

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 39: Format

The descriptive survey research methodology was used as a framework in conducting

this business plan. This method explains the relationships of existing conditions and

other important variables to the proposed product and to this business plan as a whole.

The survey was answered by 100 respondents in Quezon City. Aside from the survey,

primary and secondary resources of data were used in completing this business plan.

C. Statistical Notes

The survey results show that:

62%, 10% and 22% of the respondents have their mother, father and both, respectively,

to decide for their menu.

63% said that they usually buy processed meat in wet markets rather than

supermarkets and grocery stores.

87% eat chicken nuggets.

61% are currently spending PhP 51.00-70.00 for a 250 gram-pack of chicken nuggets.

Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Page 84

Page 40: Format

35% buy chicken nuggets twice a month.

91% are willing to try.

58% are willing to spend PhP 30.00-51.00 for 250 grams (1 pack) of Veggie Nuggets.

Interpretation: Given this information, it can be presumed that parents still have the

final “say” or decision for the food to purchase. Consumers prefer buying processed

meat in wet markets which are more accessible than supermarkets and grocery stores.

A large percentage of the respondents eat chicken nuggets which means that the

company has to work hard to be able to get the consumer preference. The number of

respondents willing to try Veggie Nuggets is significantly high. This is a good start for

the business. The company will live up to the respondents’ price expectation for the

Veggie Nuggets.

“Life is good when you are eating a healthy food.”

Filipinos are fond of saying “lahat ng bawal ay masarap.” They are always present when

it comes to celebrations like Christmas, birthdays, weddings, especially fiestas. The

occasion will not be complete without the presence of the divine roasted pig (lechon).

With its crispy skin and soft and delicious meat, even a young child will have a bite of

this while it is hot. And that is the sad part about it. Healthy eating habits should start

while young but how could it be possible if at an early age, Filipino children do not know

how to value their “health.”

The company positions itself as an advocate of good health because we want all the

Filipinos especially the children to know the goodness of the product and what good it

can do for their health just by hearing the tagline. Education on the nutritional content of

the food should start in the young. So, when they grow old, a healthy lifestyle will be

second nature to them. They know it already by heart.
