A CASE STUDY

1. Understanding and Addressing Price Volatility in the Bangus Market: A Case Study of Hinigaran, Negros Occidental

2. CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

3. Background of the Study Location : Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, Philippines Agricultural Resources : Rich in agricultural resources and diverse aquaculture activities Aquatic Species : Known for cultivating oysters and bangus (milkfish) Role of Hinigaran River : Supports bangus farming through fish pens and cages Challenges : Price instability due to seasonal variations, weather conditions, and fluctuating input costs

4. Market Challenges in Hinigaran Factors Contributing to Price Instability Seasonal demand variations Environmental impacts Fluctuating input costs (e.g., feed prices) Similar Issues in Pangasinan Oversupply leading to price drops, necessitating government intervention

5. Case Proper Observations: Direct impact of price fluctuations on income and sustainability Market Dynamics: Cyclical price patterns affecting planning and operations

6. Case Problem Impact: Negative effects on producers, traders, and consumers Threats to Sustainability: Challenges to the aquaculture industry's long-term viability

7. Objectives 1. To identify the factors causing price instability in the bangus market of Hinigaran. 2. To assess the impact of price fluctuations on local producers and consumers. 3. To propose strategies for mitigating price instability and ensuring market stability.

8. Constraints 1. Limited access to real-time market information. 2. Seasonal and environmental factors affecting production. 3. Inconsistent government policies and support. 4. High input costs and supply chain disruptions.

9. Alternative Courses of Action 1. Implement enhanced supply chain management. 2. Establish a reliable market information system. 3. Encourage supportive government policies. 4. Promote cooperative models among farmers. 5. Develop a production calendar to prevent market oversaturation.

10. Chapter II: Analysis of Alternative Courses of Actions

11. 1. Implement Enhanced Supply Chain Management Definition: Streamlining processes from production to market Benefits: Reducing waste, optimizing logistics, stabilizing prices Strategies: Cold chain systems, improved transportation infrastructure, coordination among producers

12. 2. Establish a Reliable Market Information System Purpose: Providing real-time data on prices, demand, and supply Benefits: Informed decision-making, production alignment with market demand, market efficiency Implementation: Access to up-to-date information, transparency, trust among stakeholders

13. 3. Encourage Supportive Government Policies Importance: Stabilizing the bangus market through subsidies, financial assistance, infrastructure development Regulatory Measures: Preventing overstocking, promoting sustainable practices, expanding market access Initiatives: Domestic and international trade promotion, income stability for producers

15. 5. Develop a Production Calendar to Prevent Market Oversaturation Purpose: Scheduling stocking and harvesting to match market demand Benefits: Regulating supply, avoiding price drops, ensuring steady market presence Implementation: Coordinating production cycles, enhancing market predictability, supporting sustainability

16. Chapter IV: Summary of Findings, Conclusion, Recommendation, and Implementation of Strategies

17. Summary of Findings Identified Factors: Seasonal Variations Environmental Conditions Fluctuating Input Costs Market Dynamics Strategies: Enhanced Supply Chain Management Reliable Market Information System Supportive Government Policies Cooperative Models Among Farmers Production Calendar to Prevent Oversaturation

18. Conclusion Price instability in Hinigaran's bangus market is influenced by seasonal, environmental, cost-related, and market-driven factors. Effective strategies should comprehensively address these factors to stabilize prices and ensure sustainable market conditions.

19. Recommendation Implement Enhanced Supply Chain Management Establish a Reliable Market Information System Encourage Supportive Government Policies Promote Cooperative Models Among Farmers Develop a Production Calendar
