INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Malunggay or Moringa Oleifera is commonly known as horse-radish tree in

the Western world. This miracle tree is known as a fast-growing and drought-

resistant tree which mostly grows in tropical countries. More recent appreciation

of horseradish is believed to have originated in central Europe, the area also

work to the most widely held theory of how radish was named. Malunggay Tree

is a popular plant known for nutritional value as well as herbal medicine. Thus,

the perception of the abundance of Malunggay Tree is an excellent contribution

to making a new product such as teas. Malunggay Tea is a herbal tea made by

steeping dried moringa leaves in hot water for several minutes. This refreshing

tea is thought to increase wellness and vitality. The moringa leaves contain a

high concentration of nutrients, and also can retain these when dried.

(Staughton, 2019)

According to Jillian Levy (2018), moringa contains “two times the amount

of protein of yogurt, three times the amount of potassium as bananas, four times

the amount of Vitamin A as carrots as well as the amount of calcium as coco’s

milk, and seven times the amount of Vitamin C as oranges.”

Though researchers have published numerous studies in Malunggay Tea

concerns, it has not been well-known that the Malunggay Tree can be produced

into a healthy beverage here in Cantilan. Many Cantilangnons have not fully

utilized Malunggay Tree for it is just used as one of the ingredients in cooking

"tinola".

This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of establishing

Malunggay Tea in the Municipality of Cantilan, including the motivations to start-

up and sustain the business. The study extracts information on the probable

performance of Malunggay Tea in terms of the four (4) aspects of business

viabilities. In terms of marketing, the researchers need to examine the product or

services to work out how it should be marketed. The focus of the marketing

strategy should be making sure that the products and services meet customer

needs thereby developing long-term and profitable relationship with those

customers in the future.

harmony of our relationships. We can get together and recall all over sweet

memories and also make sweet memories for the future.

are feeling lazy or whenever we have a cold or cough, a cup of tea will definitely

help you, it will increase your energy and relax your throat. A cup of tea

increases our energy, as tea is hot, and after drinking a hot drink, our neck and

nose becomes clear, that's why our voice becomes clear and effective. Hence, in

such ways ''A Cup Of Tea'' is very much useful and helpful for us.

Local

The milk tea craze has completely invaded the metro. People are walking on

the streets holding their cups filled with tapioca pearls and sipping from large

colorful straws. Although popular milk tea chains have been around for many

years such as Serenitea, Chatime, and Happy Lemon, local milk tea shops are

emerging everywhere, taking advantage of the craze and catering to the taste of

teenagers and young adults. It has become a staple drink for the young

generation, overshadowing other thirst quenchers sold in the market.

Milk tea is not necessarily new to the Dabawenyos palate since most of us

grew up drinking sago’t gulaman and taho, which are both milky and creamy in

texture, having either the sago or tapioca pearls. Milk tea is most likely an

evolution of these traditional Filipino drinks. (Daphni Ma Delo, 2019)

As Dabawenyos' cravings for milk tea become palpable, the number of milk

tea shops in the city has vastly grown as well. Business people do not only

compete with their distinct drink selection but also the ambiance and level of

comfort of their milk tea shops. Gratifying milk tea and its aesthetically pleasing

interior design will surely land in people's Instagram and Facebook feed. Coming

up with creative names for the milk tea shops is also an advantage for it to be

easily noticed by the public (e.g. Christianitea, Worth Tea, Tealoca, and

Infinitea). (Intern, 2019)

According to the study of Ladohiya et al. (2015), tea is the most common

beverage consumed after water. It is brewed from the leaves of Camellia

sinensis (family: Theaceae). Different types of tea manufactured are oolong,

green, black and Ilex tea depending on the post-harvest treatment and

palatability of a particular region. Being rich in natural antioxidants, tea is

reported to be effective against colon, oesophageal, and lung cancers, as well as

urinary stone, dental caries, etc. Tea found to be anti-cariogenic, anti-microbial,

anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidant can be used as an effective

preventive agent. Healthy Foods’ containing active scavengers of free radicals

potential health benefits. Tea is linked to the beneficial impacts on human health

with the polyphenols as the responsible constituents. India is one of the largest

tea-producing, exporting and consuming country. The present review focuses on

According to the study of (Jay M. Pascual 2019) Malunggay is a widely

cultivated plant in the Philippines. It is also known as Moringa, West Indian tree,

horseradish tree, ben oil tree, drumstick tree, la mu (Mandarin), arzan taiga

(Burkina Faso), windi bundu (Niger), etc.

Malunggay is a very nutritious plant and its benefits have been

acknowledged by nutritionist, dietitians, and nutrition researchers. Considered a

miracle plant, the tea derived from the leaves of this tree has high levels of

flavanoids or polyphenols. These are antioxidants that can help detoxify your

body and strengthen the immune system. If you are lucky enough to have a

Malunggay or Moringa tree in your backyard, then you will be able to easily make

tea with the plant’s leaves and reap its full nutritional benefits.

The name of our business ventures is the same as our product name

which is “MALUNGGAY TEA.” Malunggay is a plant that has been praised for its

health benefits for thousands of years. It is very rich in healthy antioxidants and

bio-active plant compounds. So far, scientists have only investigated a fraction of

the many reputed health benefits. So, other researcher makes some studies of

moringa, one of these is Malunggay tea.

Type of business

The type of our business is a partnership; it is two or more person binding

themselves to contribute money to a common fund by dividing profit among

themselves.

nowadays.

This chapter shows that out of 289 respondents based on our survey,

there are 55.08 or 55% who like the taste of our product and 45% like the smell

of Malunggay tea. While in the appearance and packaging, there are 48% who

commented Good, and on the quality of the product, 40% from the respondents

said very good.

Supply Analysis

For the sufficiency of the raw materials needed in the production, the

proponents will be acquiring Malunggay leaves as the main ingredient. During

the planning process of the business, we will plant Malunggay leaves that can be

used in the operation of the business. While other materials like tea bag will be

bought locally. According to (Trees for life) the Malunggay will bloom 8months

after planting, so we assumed that in the first operation of the business, we can

use the Malunggay we planted. The business might experience difficulty yet

proper management could still make everything possible for the business to

succeed.

Factors Affecting the Market

The proponents believed that the following factors will affect the total

demand of the establishment of Malunggay tea.

 Republic of the Philippines
SURIGAO DEL SUR STATE UNIVERSITY
Cantilan Campus
Cantilan, Surigao del Sur

Uncontrolled Factors

Calamities- factors that can affect the operation of the business.

Calamities are the natural and unpreventable phenomenon. This factor can be a

hindrance for they can destroy the production of the business.

Controlled Factors

Purchasing of tea-bag is one of the controllable factors that can affect the

production because purchasing of tea bag is difficult.

Pricing – the price of the product is one the controllable aspect that affects

the market since people prefer to buy the cheaper product regardless of its

quality and taste.

Competition

In the field of business, competition is always present. This business will

definitely compete with the other business establishment selling the same

product to survive in the field. So, we offer wholesale and retails to the buyer,

and we assure that the Malunggay tea we sell is very affordable and there is the

quality that the customers won't have any regret whenever they choose our

product to purchase.

Market Distribution

As tea grows in the Philippines, the distribution of Malunggay tea product

is expanding and becoming more efficient. The major part of the entire
 Republic of the Philippines
SURIGAO DEL SUR STATE UNIVERSITY
Cantilan Campus
Cantilan, Surigao del Sur

distribution is the wholesaler that provides value-added products and services to

the tea offering. Like food products, tea is distributed through retail and

wholesale distributors.

Proposed Channel Distribution

The business can offer customers quality and affordable product. The

proponents use the channel distribution because we are selling our product

directly to the people of Cantilan.

coffee and tea products. The business offers affordable Malunggay tea which

can satisfy the needs of the consumers.

Place

MALUNGGAY TEA is situated at Brgy. Magosilom, Cantilan, Surigao del

Sur. The researcher chose Cantilan as the location in conducting this study

because the area is perfect for the visibility of the business. The site of the

business will easily catch the attention of the public since it is near the road along

Cantilan town plaza, where people always have their leisure.

Promotion
 Republic of the Philippines

The proponents used advertising to promote the product through

television, tarpaulin, social media and fliers. With this, they were able to motivate

and attract customers to try the product and encourage them to buy it frequently.

Table 9. Price

Sachet 25
Boxes 2,500

The proponents used low price to somehow generate profit at the aim of

targeting marketability at the outset. They managed to keep the price affordable

due to cheap raw materials, while still ensuring quality product for customer

satisfaction. They decided to have just one product at the selling price of P25

per sachet and P2,500 per box.

Proposed Promotion Activities

use different marketing strategies in order to attract customers and make their

CHAPTER 10

SOCIAL ECONOMIC ASPECT

The primary objectives of this study is to determine the feasibility and

viability of a proposed plan to establish a production of Malunggay tea business

in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur. Part of this study is to be able to shed light to the

proponent of this project as to what risks, cost expenditures, benefits,

marketability and profitability of the product are lurking for this business venture.
 Republic of the Philippines
SURIGAO DEL SUR STATE UNIVERSITY
Cantilan Campus
Cantilan, Surigao del Sur

Data collected were interpreted and analyzed to reach to the conclusion whether

the business plan is feasible.

Moreover, this project does not only give a great deal of benefits to the

proposing parties but the society as well. With the establishment of a new line of

business -the production of malunggay tea- our product can contribute to the

improvement of the economy specifically, locally by somehow increasing the

number of employed people in the society. But the proposed tea productions as

already have shown its profitability is expected to have favorable and profitable

production and operations. This implies that more and more personnel and

workers will be needed thus, giving avenue for people to get employed and earn

a living. If there are people earning, this means that taxes to be returned to

government would also increase. If there is an increase in production, there are

more products to sell, more income is generated. This means that the business is

contributing to the local economy.

Local farmers will be encouraged to cultivate malunggay trees which have

been neglected for years. The study estimated that there would be income

generated with their products. Wastes generated during production are mostly

organic, so this may not give a problem to the environment, the community and

the health of the residents near the site of production. This malunggay tea

production will be the first manufacturing business not just in Cantilan but in

Surigao del Sur as a whole.
