Rationale
In a day, the average Filipino will eat at least five times--breakfast, segundo almuerza,
lunch, merienda and dinnersix, if you count pulutan. Even the short breaks
between these meals are spent munching on pica-pica. We Filipinos just love to eat.
But in todays busy world, who has time to prepare all that food? People on the go are
turning more and more to processed and packaged foods, to meet their needs. And
with most households becoming dual-income families, less time has been allocated to
preparing home-cooked meals.
Without processing, as much as 50 to 60 percent of fresh food can be lost between
harvest and consumption. Foods that are intended for household consumption are
usually processed by individual families or small groups of people working together.
Many of the world's multinational food conglomerates started from a single person or
family working from home. In our country, home-scale processors aim to generate
extra income to meet family needs such as clothing or school fees. Where this is
successful, many later expand production and develop first into a micro- or small-scale
business.
People process foods every day when preparing meals to feed their families.
However, the term "food processing" is broader than preparing and cooking foods. It
involves applying scientific and technological principles to preserve foods by slowing
down or stopping the natural processes of decay. It also allows changes to the eating
quality of foods to be made in a predictable and controlled way. Food processing uses
the creative potential of the processor to change basic raw materials into a range of
tasty attractive products that provide interesting variety in the diets of consumers.
To successfully operate a food processing micro-enterprise, participants need
technical skills to make consistently high quality products, and financial and marketing
skills to make the business grow and become successful. They also require assistance
to gain these skills and confidence, and short training program can help them to
establish improved production methods, quality assurance and selling techniques. A
role of training and assistance program is to provide support on start-up facilities and
hygiene, to introduce simple quality assurance techniques and improved packaging, to
enable products to compete more effectively with those from larger processors. This is
one of the reasons (and more) why the beneficiaries of Barangay General Luna wanted
to establish a venture on this arena of business.
The skills training on food processing intends to enhance the knowledge,
skills and desirable attitude in processing foods by salting, curing, smoking
and other methods; and develop a unique recipe that can be kept in storage
for a long period. It covers the preparation of equipment, tools, utensils, raw
materials and other ingredients, packaging and preparation of production report. It also
covers business value planning and simple bookkeeping. Upon completion of this
training, the participants must be able to:
