Introduction

• Supply chain as applied to the goat industry is a new concept in the Philippines. The application of supply chain in the goat industry was popularized in the Philippines by the team of researchers from the Bureau of Animal Industry when the research entitled “Development in the Supply Chain in the Philippine Goat Industry: An Assessment “ won the Grand Prize Award in Socio-economics Research at the agriculture national research contest or the National Research Symposium, Bureau of Agricultural Research, Department of Agriculture in October 2007.

5

Supply chain is the core business process in

any organization that creates and delivers a

product or service, from concept through

development and manufacturing or

conversion, and into a market for

consumption.

It is called as the “seed to shelf” or “breed to

plate” or “farm to fork” approach.

Introduction

Supply Chain Framework

6

7

•According to Price Water Coopers

“Nowadays, it is supply chains

that compete in supply chains.”

Supply chain is driven by

consumers demand.

• Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves

the flows between and among stages in a

supply chain to maximize total profitability –

Chopra and Meindl, 2001.

• SCM coordinates and integrates supply chain

activities to deliver customer value – Tony

Hines, 2004.

• As a management concept, SCM integrates

the management of supply chain process –

Jerry Rosenberg, 2004.

8

• The different goals of SCM include: 1) to cut costs, 2) to increase

profits, 3) to improve performance in relationships with

customers and suppliers and 4) to develop value-added services

that gives a company/firm the competitive edge.

• For an industry focus (e.g. goat industry, hog industry, chicken

industry, etc), supply chain management covers an integrated

behavior, mutual sharing of information, mutual sharing of risks

and rewards, cooperation, same goal and same focus on serving

and satisfying customers, integration of processes and partners,

to build and maintain long-term relationships.

Objectives

1) To provide an overview of the goat supply chain in the Philippines

from input supply, production, processing, marketing and

consumption;

2) To provide an overview of the supply chain management and how

it could be applied to the goat agribusiness in the individual

firm/farm level in the Philippines.

3) To identify the best practices along the supply chain;

4) To analyze profitability and competitiveness of chevon vis-à-vis

Australia, Canada, and U.S.A.;

5) To identify the inefficiencies, gaps and problems encountered by

the industry along the supply chain; and

6) To identify strategic directions/recommendation for the DA, BAI,

Local Government Unit and the goat industry stakeholders.

The objectives of this presentation include:

Input Supply

• Improved genetics as a result of imported breeds mostly from Australia

• The Federation of Goat & Sheep Producers &

Associations of the Philippines, Inc. (FGASPAPI) has been helping the industry since 2001. It assists in improving the genetic and breeding practices of the goat players by regularly conducting national congresses and trainings to support their members. The Bureau of Animal Industry and Livestock Development Council and other institutions are supporting the goat industry in these activities.

Australia.

16

• According to a major goat breeder

interviewed (Neo Abalos, FGASPAPI

Secretary), he almost perfected his pure

breeding, crossbreeding, and upgrading

operations to meet clients’ weight

specifications.

• The goat industry is a beneficiary of the

development in other livestock

commodities, including production and

processing technologies.

Conclusion

•The future of the goat industry is very promising for prospective investors here and abroad.

•Credit issues for existing players (constrains them to expand their operations).

•Philippine chevon is price competitive vis-à-vis Australia, Canada, and U.S.A. chevon.

•Although the study covered important areas along the supply chain, there is still a need to further document other success stories.

52

Recommendations and Strategic

Directions

• Development of local goat genetics for the international market.

• Revive non-operational livestock auction markets for goats.

• Continuous partnership of all stakeholders.

• Support of government in packaging investment opportunities along the supply chain (utilization of ACEF funds).

• Promote the potential export market of Philippine goat meat, goat processed meat and goat by-products.

• Pursue more researches along the supply chain which are market-driven and customer-focused.
