    Default Education is priceless - what about our poor-fisher-folks-farmers


    World Bank: Poor education holds back Philippines - Yahoo!

    This article above presents poor education as the major drawback of the Philippines– one thing that is not mentioned here are the “poor-farmers-fisher folks” that are suppose to provide food for our people in the Philippines. If our poor-farmers-fisher folks keep on using the same process and procedures they will keep on getting the same results. The vicious cycle just repeats itself - compounding our poverty situation. There has to be a better way, there has to be a shift in mindset and direction. I hope someone out there can tell the President of the Philippines - to support our Philippine Aquaponics. 4.5 million involuntarily hungry Filipino voices seem to be unheared..

    We have to help educate our poor farmers-fisher folks regarding "integrated-farming"

    Default Re: Investors for Fish Pond Upgrade

    I am very much interested about this but since this technology is still alien to most of us here, I am very apprehensive as to the amount I will shell out for such project (I am also not an investor). No offense meant but, I have observed that there are still no serious offers yet. How about selling your Filipinized version as start up kits at an affordable rate (from 5k-10k)? It would not matter if you use recycled materials as long as it works. Just make yourself available for phone inquiries for your customers. And whenever you make visits, you may also charge a professional fee. Just my ten cents bro...

    Hi Datu,
    Your skeptiscism is understandable. The deepend is scary. However, I do not let skepticism suppress-stifle my curiosity when I want to learn something. I research and spend, research and spend, research and spend(until I have no money).

    My curiousity bring me to ask, how would you explain the cost of production of cream-dory fillet at 160.00 php per Kilo coming from Vietnam is just the same as the Tilapia fish(unprocessed) at SM. If cream-dory(Pangasius) arrives at SM at 160.00 Php it is safe to say the cost of production of such would only be around 10 or 15 Php in Vietnam. From my research, our conventional methods of farming if we are lucky cost already 35/kilo due to the feeds assuming a FCR of 1.0. This "traditional-methods" are the easiest thing that requires no thinking process. ( A 70 yr. old Tatay who attended my seminar was surprised that his "50 yrs know-how-experience in fish ponds" of past was so, so backward and there are so many things he did not know or too afraid to innovate or discover)

    I do not believe "Vietnamese" are geniuses in producing fish and Filipinos are that dumb. Curiosity leads me to find out, that there must be something wrong in what we are doing or practicing. I don't think you need to be a rocket-scientist to figure where we are going wrong and what we can do to correct our practice. Hence, this venture is not for the faint-hearted. Neither is this venture a rocket science. Our only clue is that whatever we are doing at present, we are doing it so backward, so inefficient and unproductive, above all not sustainable and not renewable.

    My research also tell me that one reason we do not export cultured fish is that what we produce is just enough for local consumption. Thus Vietnam sells 5 Billion USD of seafoods to US and Europe and we are selling OFW's. The more reason why the Government has to stop commercial fishing because of overfishing and illegal fishing. There are "local-experts" who really know how to produce, but they also are afraid of competition. What they do not see is the big picture of organizing filipinos and selling to the world instead of exporting OFW's. A learning version of 10K is achievable to serve as a working model, to get you to understand the principles and confidence to go big time. We are starting something like this in Bohol. Last week I had two guys one Australian and Local from Bohol come over to learn.

    Most of those who attend are not coming from agriculture or agriculture background, most are engineers(who have a love of nature or desire for healthy food) - However, your being an engineer(like myself) put you in a very advantageous position. You may not realize that for now. In fact, your background will expedite your learning curve. Just like setting up an electronic circuit board, first your goal, then you have to understand the functions of the components, basics - such as resistors, transistors, diodes, capacitors, and how each component operate. You know what you want to achieve and you are going to assemble it together. In this case, it is a lot easier(but also has it's frustrations and trials)

    The thing is unlike hi-tech, the technology here is low-tech and and can be acheived using "backyard components". I shied away from hi-tech because of the fast pace development many of which you cannot control. Everytime Microsoft, Apple etc., changes, you have to change, they dictate the direction. In this case, no one dictates except you once you have the building blocks. You are in control of the environment and what you want to achieve. You know what the parameters you want to control and how you want it. You can innovate. You "ENGINEER" your "PROCESS and SYSTEMS" and work with mother nature and father time.

    For programmers/IT - you are able to develop your own language and program it to function that way you desire because there is so much to explore and discover and only your imagination is the limit. You are not dependent on the programs made by others and keep on updating yourself of the changes they have made. You program your life and not others to dictate what is good and not good for your system. You are empowered and in control of your processes. You can develop your own IP(intellectual property)

    Default Solar pump retrofitting and upgrades

    Hi Kaped,
    Average price would depend on the application, there are quite a number of options available:
    a. Existing pump and we provide solar power system - panels, controllers(calculated compatible to pump load), back-up battery etc., price would range from 40k to xxx depending on your capacity of pump, number of operating hours per day. This is retrofitting. Hence, payback would range from 3 to x years depending on your usage and capacity.

    b. New installation - pump and solar powered: range would be 70 K up, once again depending on usage, pump capacity etc.,
    (Pump is DC powered)

    c. Client has already Solar Power-windmill-hydro-wave-fuel cell(or other alternative sources of DC power) and want to provide a DC powered pump, Solar Pump(DC) can range about 35 K.

    So there are a number of options available and to optimize your usage and cost we need to understand your requirements. Hope that answers your query. Have a blessed day.
