The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) launched the revised edition of “Profitability analysis: 25-doe level slaughter goat production” in the 2012 Agrilink held recently at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
The Profitability Analysis Series is a regular publication of PCAARRD, where technical and financial data needed to put up an agricultural enterprise can be found.
It presents analytical tools that can be used in project planning and in predicting how the business would operate under a set of assumptions to ensure technical and economic feasibility of project implementation.
The revised edition includes projected income statement and cash flow of a 25-doe level slaughter goat farm for five years, market and value adding activities. It also contains a package of technology, which incorporates standard production and management systems plus marketing tips.
The launch was led by Dr. Edwin C. Villar, director of PCAARRD’s Livestock Research Division. According to him, through the years, PCAARRD has been publishing packages of information in collaboration with the private sector, researchers, and other government agencies from different regions of the country.
The launch was made possible in collaboration with Alaminos Goat Farm (AGF) and the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Some copies of the book were distributed for free to the representatives of The Federation of Goat and Sheep Producers Association of the Philippines (FGASPAPI), Goat and Sheep Producers Association of Tarlac (GASPAT), Naga City Goat Farm, and AGF.
Incidentally, Agrilink or the International Agribusiness Exhibition and Seminars is on its 19th year and is organized by the Foundation for Resource Linkage and Development, Inc.
