MARKETING COSTS STRUCTURE FOR CALAMANSI

I. Introduction

Calamansi or calamondin ( microcarpa) is a fruit tree belonging to the family. It is a good source of . Its juice is used as an ingredient or additive in various food preparations. It also possesses medicinal values.

Objective

This study aims to determine the marketing flow and the corresponding expenses incurred by marketing participants in distributing calamansi from the producers to the consumers.

Scope and Limitations

The study covered key supply and demand areas for calamansi in the provinces of Quezon, Mindoro Oriental and Guimaras, representing Luzon and Visayas.

The demand areas for calamansi in Mindoro Oriental include several municipalities within the province and the adjacent province of Batangas. Calamansi from Quezon reaches Rizal and Camarines Norte provinces, while calamansi from Guimaras is consumed mostly in the provinces of Regions 6 and 7. Metro Manila serves as a major demand area.

The study traced the flow and the marketing costs of calamansi from the production to the demand areas. At the demand areas, the study concentrated on the costs incurred in marketing calamansi coming from a supply province but not on calamansi produced in the demand province itself. For instance, in Batangas, the costs borne by traders of calamansi from Mindoro Oriental were covered but not the costs of moving calamansi produced in the municipalities within Batangas province.

II. Research Methodology

For each of the key supply province, the top 5 producing barangays were chosen from the results of the household listing under the High Value Commercial Crops (HVCC) project. From these top producing barangays, 40 calamansi farmers were selected purposively. Farmers who were engaged in producing/trading calamansi from July 2000 to June 2001 were selected and interviewed.

From the farm level, the team traced the traders identified by the farmer- respondents as buyers of their produce. Most of them were located in the trading centers. From the traders, the team then moved to the next point of sale consisting of retail markets within the province and/or trading centers in the partner provinces.

III. Discussion of Results

The first part of the report describes the distribution, profile and the marketing functions and practices of the respondents. Part 2 presents the marketing costs and the problems encountered by the respondents.

A. Distribution and Profile of Respondents

Types of marketing participants. Of the total of 191 respondents, 120 were farmers and 71 were traders (Table 1).

In this study, four types of traders were identified: assemblers, distributors, assembler-distributors and retailers. The first three types of traders can be classified further according to the geographic coverage and volume of transactions. Table 2 shows the type of marketing participants covered in the study.

1. Assembler - procures calamansi from farmers and/or traders in the supply areas; usually has agents or relatives responsible for procurement and assembly. In this study assemblers are classified according to geographic area of procurement. These are:

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 2

a) Barangay Assembler (BA) – procures from one barangay only. b) Municipal Assembler (MA) - procures from two or more barangays within the municipality. c) Provincial Assembler (PA) - procures from two or more municipalities within the province. d) Regional Assembler (RA) - procures from two or more provinces within the region.

2. Distributor - sells calamansi to other traders and consumers. Since his/her business is primarily to sell than to procure, he/she provides more services to his/her buyers than to his/her suppliers. They can be classified according to the relative volume of commodities and to the geographic sphere of his selling operations (location of buyers). The following are the classification of distributors:

a) Small Distributor (SD) - handles only small volume of goods; sells to retailers within the same market and to small eateries (carinderia) within the area.

b) Medium Distributor (MD) - sells larger volume than small distributor; sells to traders coming from other markets in the province; may also sell to few institutional buyers (hotel, restaurant, hospital, military camp).

c) Large Distributor (LD) - handles the largest volume among the three types of distributors; usually sells to traders from other markets within and outside the province; may also sells to several institutional buyers.

3. Assembler – Distributor - uses the same efforts and resources in procuring and selling a commodity; usually finances farmers and traders in supply areas and has agents responsible for procurement; sells commodities to other traders. Several combinations was identified in the study as shown below:

a) Barangay Assembler- Small Distributor (BA-SD) b) Barangay Assembler- Medium Distributor (BA-MD) c) Municipal Assembler – Small Distributor (MA-SD) d) Municipal Assembler – Medium Distributor (MA-MD) e) Municipal Assembler – Large Distributor (MA-LD) f) Provincial Assembler – Small Distributor (PA-SD) g) Provincial Assembler – Medium Distributor (PA-MD) h) Provincial Assembler – Large Distributor (PA-LD) i) Regional Assembler – Large Distributor (RA-LD)

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 3

NOTE: An assembler remains only an assembler and not an assembler- distributor if the trader sells exclusively to one trader. Example of traders who are purely assemblers are inter-regional, regional, provincial and municipal assemblers who sell to only one processor/exporter with whom they have contract quotas to fulfill.

4. Retailer - sources his/her stocks either directly from the farmers or traders and directly sell the goods to the consumers.

Twenty-seven (27) of the trader-respondents were large distributors; 6 were medium and 6 were small distributors; and 32 were retailers.

Profile of Respondents

The characteristics of the respondents are presented in frequency distribution tables. Farmers were classified by size of farm and land ownership. Traders were grouped according to type of business ownership and length of experience.

Sample Farmers

Size of Farm. The size of farm of farmer respondents ranged from less than 1.0 to more than 5.0 hectares (Table 3).

Calamansi is produced in relatively smaller areas. Sixty-four percent (64%) of the respondents reported farm areas of less than one hectare.

Twenty-two or about 18% of the respondents had farm sizes of less than 2.0 hectares.

Each of 21 farmers cultivated areas of more than two hectares.

Land Ownership. Most of the farmer-respondents owned the farmland they cultivate. Twenty-eight of them were tenants, 4 were lessees and 5 used rent-free and public lands.

In Mindoro Oriental, out of 40 respondents, 32 were owner operators; 2 were holders of certificate of land transfer; 5 were tenants and one used public land.

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 4

Farmer-respondents in Quezon comprised 35 landowners, one was a CLT awardee and 4 were tenants.

Thirty-nine (39) of the farmer-respondents in Guimaras were owners and only one was tenant.

Cropping Pattern. Calamansi bear fruits after a year of planting. Its trees have an average life span of five years. Figures 1-3 and Table 9 illustrate the cropping pattern for calamansi based on the responses of the farmer- respondents.

Out of the 40 farmer-respondents, 14 farmers from Mindoro Oriental planted calamansi trees during the period. All of them had standing bearing trees from which they harvested and marketed the fruits whole year round.

In Quezon, nobody among the respondents planted calamansi from June 2000 to July 2001 but they also have standing bearing trees.

Likewise, the sources of calamansi fruits of farmer-respondents in Guimaras were standing bearing trees.

Sample Traders

Business Ownership. Majority or 93 percent of the trader-respondents in most of the study areas operated under single proprietorship.

Trader-respondents from Metro Manila, Batangas, Quezon and Iloilo were all single proprietors.

Four among the respondents have business partners: 3 from Mindoro Oriental and 1 from Guimaras.

One large-distributor from Mindoro Oriental ran his business as a corporation.

Nature of Capitalization

Ninety-two percent of the trader-respondents financed their own businesses. In Metro Manila, Batangas and Iloilo, all sample traders used their own capital.

One respondent from Mindoro Oriental, one from Quezon and two from Guimaras operated their businesses under financing.

Planting Harvesting Trading

Two trader-respondents from Mindoro Oriental and Guimaras had contract agreements with their buyers.

Length of Experience

Thirteen traders representing 18% of sample traders were trading calamansi for less than 5 years.

Twenty-four traders or 34% were in the business for 5 to 10 years already.

Other trader-respondents have more than ten years experience in calamansi trading: 13 traders with 11-10 years; 7 with 16-20 years and 14 with more than 20 years in this enterprise.

Marketing Practices and Functions

Farmers and traders perform several marketing practices in moving the products from one point to another. The major practices and functions which include the manner of procurement and distribution, mode of payment, geographic flow and marketing channels and the corresponding costs are described in the succeeding sections.

Procurement

In the supply province, traders procured calamansi from the production area within the province. However, Iloilo traders bought their commodity in province of Guimaras and Aklan in addition to the supply of calamansi in the province.

Manner of Procurement

Of the 71 trader-respondents, thirty two or 45 % picked up calamansi from the sources.

Procurement by 54% was done through deliveries by their suppliers.

There was one trader from Iloilo who procured calamansi fruits using both pick-up and delivery.

Mode of Payment. Payments of procurement were either cash on delivery, consignment or delayed payment.

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 9

Majority of the trader-respondents (42 out of 71) paid their suppliers in cash upon delivery.

Twenty-seven traders practiced consignment and two traders delayed their payments to the suppliers.

Distribution

The following describes the mode of delivery and the terms of payment made by the respondents.

Mode of Delivery. The mode of delivery of calamansi depended on the type of buyer and the location.

Thirty three (33) of the sample farmers and 3 traders from Mindoro Oriental delivered calamansi to their buyers. On the other hand, 7 farmers and 6 traders let their buyers picked up the fruits from them.

In contrast, 33 farmers from Quezon and 35 from Guimaras have their buyers picked up the fruits from their farm while 7 and 5 farmers, respectively delivered calamansi to their buyers.

In Metro Manila, one retailer delivered calamansi to his buyers. Calamansi sold by 7 large distributors and 12 retailers were picked up from their stalls by their buyers

Mode of Payment. Terms of payment in selling calamansi were either cash on delivery or consignment.

Twenty eight farmers in Mindoro Oriental, 21 in Quezon and another 21 in Guimaras were paid on consignment basis. The remaining 50 farmer-respondents were paid in cash.

Twenty assembler-distributors received payment in cash. Nineteen (19) of them were paid in consignment. The retailer-respondents (32) from all the covered areas received payment in cash.

Geographic Flow

Table 8 presents the sources and destination point of calamansi in the areas of the study. Figures 4 – 6 illustrate the flow of calamansi by location and by province.

Figure 6. GEOGRAPHIC FLOW OF CALAMANSI IN GUIMARAS, 2001

Mindoro Oriental

Calamansi traded in Mindoro Oriental came from the following municipalities within the province: Naujan, Pola, Guitad, Calapan, Victoria, Bago, Bagong Silang and Lumang Bayan.

Calamansi fruits were brought to the markets within the supply municipalities.

From the trading centers, calamansi were distributed serving the needs of areas within and outside the province. Demand areas outside Mindoro Oriental were Batangas and Manila.

Quezon

Calamansi in Quezon were sourced from Lopez, Gumaca, Alabat, Atimonan, Caglate, Tagcauayan, Caridad and Magsino.

From the farm, the fruits were distributed to the markets of Lopez, Gumaca, Alabat, Atimonan and Tagcauayan (all within Quezon) and to the provinces of Camarines Norte, Rizal and Metro Manila.

Guimaras

The supply of calamansi in Guimaras came primarily from the municipalities of Buena Vista, Sibunag, San Lorenzo, Gaban, Camansi and Jordan. No supplies came from outside Guimaras.

Calamansi were traded in the markets of San Lorenzo, Gaban, Buena Vista, Jordan and Camansi.

From there, calamansi was distributed to Western and Central Visayas provinces, Palawan and Metro Manila.

Marketing Channels

Figures 7 - 9 illustrate the distribution channels of calamansi from the farmers to the final consumers.

Mindoro Oriental

Farmers sold calamansi to assembler-distributors, buyers outside the province (BOP), processors and retailers. The assembler- distributors brought their procured calamansi to a “bodega”/buying

station for distribution to the buyers coming outside the province. They also sold calamansi to retailers and processors.

Quezon

Assembler-distributors and retailers bought calamansi from the farmers. The outlets of the assembler-distributors were retailers and buyers outside Quezon. Retailers, on the other hand, sold calamansi directly to consumers.

Guimaras

Calamansi farmers in Guimaras sold their produce to assembler- distributors and buyers outside the province. There were 5 farmers who directly sold calamansi to retailers. Traders sold their procurement to other traders and retailers within the trading center. Provincial assembler-large distributors supplied calamansi to a trader from Aklan and to retailers from other markets.

Marketing Costs

Marketing of calamansi from the farm up to retail level entails several costs which include labor, transportation, material inputs, other operating expenses and depreciation. The succeeding topics describe the costs borne by the marketing participants in transferring calamansi from the farmer to the retailer.

Labor

The activities in procuring calamansi from the farm included hauling, handling (loading and unloading from the farm to the truck/vehicle) and sorting. Shipping costs included fees for handling, arrastre and stevedoring. On the other hand, hauling, handling, sorting, selling, packing, weighing and cleaning comprised labor costs in the distribution of calamansi.

Quezon incurred the highest labor cost with an average of P1.32 per kilogram of calamansi which include labor in shipping, (P0.01) and distribution cost, (P1.31).

Cost of trading in Mindoro Oriental averaged P1.28 per kilogram from procurement to selling; the large portion was payment for sorting.

In Guimaras, relatively lower cost for labor was estimated at P0.66 per kilogram of calamansi.

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 18

Among the demand areas, traders from Manila incurred the highest labor cost at P1.30; followed by Iloilo, P0.94 per kilogram of calamansi and Batangas, P0.19 per kilogram.

Transportation

Transportation cost depends on the distance and destination of the commodity.

The cost of transporting calamansi from the farm to market was highest in Mindoro Oriental. Farmers spent an average of P0.49 per kilogram for hauling and P0.56 for shipping, while traders spent P0.35 for procurement and P0.66 per kilogram for distribution.

Iloilo farmers and traders incurred a total transportation cost of P1.30 per kilogram of calamansi, on average.

A relatively lower transport cost was spent in calamansi trading in Metro Manila, P0.69, Quezon, P0.42, and Guimaras, P0.45.

Material Inputs

Costs of materials include those for containers (like “kaing”, sacks, plastic bags, “bilao”, basket or wooden box), twine, old newspapers, etc. Aside from those materials, banana leaves, needle, tie wire, different types of bags and sacks were used in selling calamansi (Table 16).

Cost of material inputs ranged from P0.08 to P0.82 per kilogram of calamansi.

In Metro Manila, trading cost amounted to P0.57 per kilogram, on average.

From farm to market, the cost of material inputs was P0.39 per kilogram in Mindoro Oriental.

Traders in Batangas incurred an average of P0.27 for material costs per kilogram of calamansi.

Material cost for marketing was highest in Quezon at P0.82 per kilogram of calamansi.

Marketing Cost Structure for Calamansi 19

Traders in Iloilo used only sacks, kaing and plastic bags costing an average of P0.08 per kilogram of calamansi.

In Guimaras, marketing costs per kilogram of calamansi included procurement cost of P0.33, and P0.30 for distribution.

Miscellaneous and Other Operating Costs

Miscellaneous and other operating expenses include business permit/license, market fee, electricity, telephone, water, gas and oil, cell cards, etc. These also cover expenses for meals and beverages while transporting the commodity (Table 17).

Cost of other operating expenses ranged from P0.23 in Guimaras to P0.91 per kilogram in Mindoro Oriental.

Respondents from Mindoro Oriental reported the highest shrinkage/wastage costs averaged at P0.35 per kilogram; followed by Iloilo (P0.122) and Metro Manila (P0.11).

Toll gate fee paid by the sample respondents amounted to P0.19 in Mindoro Oriental, P0.14 in Metro Manila and P0.13 in Iloilo.

Depreciation

The study computed depreciation costs of materials, facilities and transportation items used in calamansi marketing (Table 18).

Depreciation costs ranged from P0.07 to 34 centavos per kilogram of calamansi.

Depreciation cost incurred by traders in Metro Manila was the lowest at P0.07 per kilogram of calamansi.

Depreciation costs of traders from Mindoro Oriental, Batangas and Quezon were estimated at P0.09, P0.34 and P0.22 per kilogram of calamansi, respectively.

In Iloilo and Guimaras, depreciation costs were P0.10 and P0.14 per kilogram of calamansi, respectively.

Total Marketing Costs

The total marketing cost items includes the costs incurred by the sample respondents on labor, transportation, material inputs, other operating expenses and imputed costs on labor and depreciation of materials, equipment and facilities. These items were aggregated according to cash outlay which include cash, non cash and imputed costs.

Total cash cost was highest in Mindoro Oriental at P4.64, followed by Metro Manila, P3.14; the lowest was in Batangas, P0.74.

In contrast, non-cash cost including the depreciation cost was highest in Batangas, P0.34; and lowest in Metro Manila, P0.07.

The total costs borne by marketing participants ranged from P1.08 (Batangas) to P4.72 per kilogram (Mindoro Oriental).

Transportation cost accounted for the highest, at an average of P2.06 per kilogram of calamansi. Labor costs and other operating expenses have significant shares to total marketing costs in Mindoro Oriental.

In Metro Manila, labor cost accounted for the biggest share at P1.30 which included salaries and wages; transportation costs, P0.69; other operating expenses, P0.58; material inputs, P.57, and imputed costs, P0.07.

Marketing costs computed in Quezon included labor cost of P1.32; transportation expenses of P0.42; materials, P0.82; other operating expenses, P0.55 and imputed costs, P0.22 per kilogram of calamansi.

Marketing Costs by Point of Destination

Figures 10 to 12 illustrate the estimated costs of transferring calamansi from the supply barangay to the different trading/demand areas.

Quezon

In moving calamansi from the supply area to Rizal province, sample respondents spent an average cost of P1.13 per kilogram. However, respondents who sold in the different markets within the province incurred P1.23 per kilogram.

Figure 12. Total marketing costs for Calamansi, by point of destination, Guimaras, 2001

Mindoro Oriental

From the supply barangays to the market, the average expense was P2.36 per kilogram of calamansi.

In trading calamansi to Manila, the average cost kilogram of calamansi was P1.32 for transportation; P0.19 for labor; P0.03 for materials; P0.02 for depreciation; and P0.06 for other expenses.

Traders in Batangas incurred an average cost of P1.91 per kilogram of calamansi.

Guimaras

Calamansi traders spent an average of P0.66 when the fruit is sold within the province, and P0.80 per kilogram when shipped to Negros Occidental.

Respondents who delivered calamansi to Metro Manila incurred an average cost of P0.89 per kilogram. The transportation cost of P0.32 per kilogram from Iloilo to Manila included the transport costs from the supply barangays to the pier or “pantalan” (P0.12) and freight (P0.20). Transportation costs from the piers in Manila to their next point of destination were borne by the buyers of the fruits.

Marketing Margins

The initial step in measuring the marketing margins is to describe the structure of the marketing chain, starting at the farm gate and tracing the product through the various intermediaries until it reaches the final consumer. Second is to identify and list the various functions that are performed at each stage in the marketing process.

The estimation of marketing margin needs price data at which the product is bought and sold at each stage in the marketing process. Costs incurred in marketing plus the buying price give the estimated selling price.

On the part of traders, buying price can be considered an expense. They have to pay for the commodity as the initial investment at prices agreed by both parties, the farmer and the trader. The gross margin, which still includes the cost of trading and the risk/losses, is the difference between the retail price and the effective buying price at the farm level.

The net margin, or the net return, therefore, is the remainder when the total marketing costs were subtracted from the total gross margin. Below is the illustration of the concept:

RP

NM TGM

FP + TC

FP

where: RP = retail price FP = farm price or the effective buying price at farm level FP+TC = farm price plus the total costs TGM = total gross margin (RP - FP) NM = net margin or return [RP – (FP + TC)]

The estimated marketing margins for calamansi at each level of marketing participants and the estimated selling price for each supply province were illustrated from Figures 13 to 15.

Mindoro Oriental

Quezon

At buying price of P12.73 and total marketing cost of P3.34, the estimated selling price was P16.07 per kilogram. At the retail price of P41.53 per kilogram, the trader’s share was P19.97.

IV. Problems/Constraints Encountered

Table 22 presents the problems encountered by the farmers and trader- respondents in relation to calamansi marketing. Some of these problems were:

Abundant supply and low quality of calamansi being produced by the farmers resulted to lower price. One farmer stated that he lack information and knowledge on the proper production and post harvest technology.

Ten respondents from different province reported that their creditors did not pay their loan or sometimes the payment for the commodities were delayed.

A large percentage of wastage in bringing calamansi from the farm to the demand areas because of the poor condition of the farm to market roads.

Two traders lack capital to finance the buying and selling of calamansi.

Other problems include the frequent price fluctuation, absence of permanent stalls, the availability of shipping lines, too many competitors, the presence of imported in the market and the “tong” given to different authority.
