Central Luzon State University, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Porciuncula Fe L. and Padilla, Janet N. (2017). Fresh Goat Meat (Chevon) in the Market: Tracing and Understanding the Supply Chain in Central Luzon Region, Philippines. International Journal of Agricultural Technology 13(5): 625-650. Examination of chevon supply chain from sourcing of goats for slaughter to the movement of goat meat to the market as well as value adding is necessary. This research aimed to assess the supply chain of fresh chevon in Central Luzon, Philippines and identify the areas for improvement. Nueva Ecija and Tarlac provinces in Central Luzon were selected as study locations on the basis of chevon being sold on daily basis, volume and goat population. Based on 2002-2013 data, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija ranked first and second, respectively in terms of goat population in Central Luzon.A total of 108 respondents composed of keyplayers in the supply chain were surveyed to gather necessary data coupled with key informants interview. Supply chain mapping was done and set of indicators were used to determine the performance of the identified supply chains. A total of five supply chains from Nueva Ecija (3) and Tarlac (2) were identified and assessed. Supply chain for fresh chevon in the region is simple and generally participated in by keyplayers which include the goat raiser, barangay agent or locator, assembler-wholesaler, meat vendor/retailer, institutional buyer and individual costumer.

  • The 19991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetus of the Phillip
    5 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters March 2006, Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 5-43 Traditional Societies in the Face of Natural Hazards: The 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetas of the Philippines Jean-Christophe Gaillard Laboratoire Territoires, UMR PACTE 5194 CNRS Institut de Géographie Alpine 14 bis, avenue Marie Reynoard 38100 Grenoble France [email protected] This article explores the response of traditional societies in the face of natural hazards through the lens of the concept of resilience. Resilient societies are those able to overcome the damages brought by the occurrence of natural hazards, either through maintaining their pre-disaster social fabric, or through accepting marginal or larger change in order to survive. Citing the case of the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines and its impact on the Aeta communities who have been living on the slopes of the volcano for centuries, it suggests that the capacity of resilience of traditional societies and the concurrent degree of cultural change rely on four factors, namely: the nature of the hazard, the pre-disaster socio- cultural context and capacity of resilience of the community, the geographical setting, and the rehabilitation policy set up by the authorities. These factors significantly vary in time and space, from one disaster to another. It is important to perceive their local variations to better anticipate the capability of traditional societies to overcome the damage brought by the occurrence of natural hazards and therefore predict eventual cultural change. 5 6 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters Introduction Natural hazards are those natural phenomena that pose a threat to people, structures and economic assets.
