The piggery contract growing scheme in the Philippines : a study on cost-benefit
type: CreativeWork
description: This study evaluates the profitability of a piggery contract growing agreement in the Philippines. The assessments are made from the owner's, growers', and social viewpoints. Chapter 1 contains a statement of the problems of development efforts; of the objectives, significance and limitations of the study, and of the sources of data. Chapter 2 includes a discussion of the swine industry and a piggery contract growing agreement in the Philippines. This chapter covers the problems and status of the swine industry and also some marketing practices. The chapter also highlights some provisions in the contract, including its advantages and disadvantages from the owners' and growers' viewpoints. Chapter 3 sets out the analytical framework. This involves a discussion of cost-benefit analysis, sensitivity analysis, and evaluation criteria. Investment criteria, choices of discount rate, and the derivation of the cash flow are also discussed in the chapter. The investment criteria used are the internal rate of return, net present value, benefit to cost ratio, net present value to investment ratio, and average yearly present value of net benefits. The first four criteria are used in ranking the project from the owner's and social viewpoints. All five criteria are used in assessing the profitability of the project from the growers' viewpoint, with emphasis given to the last criterion (i.e., average yearly present value of net benefits). Chapter 4 deals with the coats relevant to the owner and to the growers. For the owner, three situations are examined: no contracting of pigs to growers (0 per cent contract growing scheme); contracting 60 per cent of pigs owned to growers (60 per cent scheme, and contracting 100 per cent of pigs owned to growers (100 per cent scheme). The cash flows for each of these schemes are presented. For the growers, the cash flow for raising 100 pigs is presented. Chapter 5 involves the adjustments of the costs to reflect the value of the piggery contract…
