Invest in Cavendish Banana Farming and Export Biz

A Saudi Arabia base Importer-Investor just requested a comprehensive Feasibility Study

Freelance Architectural Design

Around January of 2018 when a former co-employee approached me.  To cut the long story short, I was offered a freelance architectural design design job… I accepted.  It took me some time to finish because the requesting party change his mind on some details in many instances.  

Now it is halfway finish and I saw how my drawing slowly but surely turned into reality.  I did not just satisfy my client, I also satisfy the building permit approving city officer.  I guess my background in advertising design and corporate engineering became very useful because my design was obviously more clear and detailed compare to what other licensed architects are doing,  And having a teachable attitude somehow help me improve my woI rk.

I did all the Title Block inclusive of structural, electrical, plumbing and sanitary plan.  And it did not end there.  It pass through evaluation, approval and fees to be paid.  Below photos shows that the drawing became a reality.  Believe it or not, I was even ask to report daily for months for the construction and supplies supervision.

Incidentally, I got the attention of the Engineer owner.  He gave me two more projects that I am both finishing at the moment.  It is supposedly finish already but the owner has change his directions on the plan so revisions are done once in a while.

I am willing to accept freelance drafting work if there is an opportunity.  I just need the basic instruction and needed data.  Rest assured it will be less costly.  I can be reached through my email:  mamita.offer@gmail.com

The orange flesh of the solo papaya is deliciously sweet. There are small black seeds in the middle of the fruit.  It was named ‘Solo’ in 1919 and by 1936 was the only commercial papaya in Hawaii. ‘Solo’ produces no male plants; just female (with round, shallowly furrowed fruits) and bisexual (with pear-shaped fruits) in equal proportions.

Floor Plan – my latest project

I just did a “Title Block” for a client (floor plan for 5 units, 2 floors per unit).  If there is another break or similar job offer, why not?  fyi.  I have consultant Civil Engineers.

 

Why buy Philippine Cavendish Banana

I could not forget the feedback I got from one of my importers when they move to other countries because of price difference.  I was told that the end buyers themselves are complaining when he did that due to obvious reason ….

 “bananas from other exporting countries doesn’t taste good as Philippine bananas.”  It’s a fact and you can compare it yourself.  The genuine Class A Philippine Cavendish Bananas taste naturally sweet and delicious to the last bite.  And it is a healthy food for your body.  But yes, it should be genuine Class A because scammers and cheaters are everywhere so you should deal only with reputable exporters and traders.

My importers through he could earn more when he bought from other countries because they offer cheaper.  He learned his lesson from actual experience as he end up in losses.

Cavendish Banana Plantation in Davao region Philippines alone is as far as the eye can see.  One week is not enough to tour and inspect the plantation area as it is actually bigger than a small country like Singapore.  It is so huge and you need a trustworthy contact to lead you where are the safe pest-free source and who are the unreliable.  The plantation is farther than what your eye can see as it reaches to other region and provinces (e.g. Cotabato, General Santos, Bukidnon, other provinces of Mindanao).   But the center of the center is Davao.

Rice Wholesale-Retail Trading BizPlan

 

I again did a Rice Wholesale-Retail Business Plan per request of a Cavitena  (Filipina).  It’s not a “pwede na yan” or copy-paste thing as I immersed, researched a lot and did actual field interviews. Most of the request came from OFW as they can use it to loan capital at OWA.

I can now provide a more detailed and updated Rice Wholesale-Retail Business Plan

Like what I did for other requesting party, I made it as realistic as possible and tailored made, reader friendly and you can already start with your business as there are step by step guide and pricing.

If you are going to pursue your desired business, I need to ask where are you base and where do you intend to establish your Rice Trading business? 

I ask because the location is important.  Price also fluctuates regularly.

Most who earlier requested are OFW as they are using it to acquire loan at OWA.  I also receive request from Foreigners.  Are you an OFW?  

My Business Plan are far different  from works of other maker (“tumbok mo agad through a step by step guide how to start right away.  Kita mod din agad ang expenses and income as I did field research and actual operation study).  I also visited miller suppliers plan and study variety sample as shown photos.

I won’t pretend to know it all but I have more than enough experience for your requirement.

Old Fashioned Miniature Houses and Wood crafts

My arts is non-traditional.  This time, I am desiring for a craft that is also a potential business:

• Birds House
• Miniature Toy House
• Cabinet House
• Other related

 

They maybe old fashioned but this kind of craft are close to the heart of people, especially the children and promote values.  As such, there is a market for these and if given the fund grant, it will take a long way in terms of income and return on investment.

Yes, machine made Christmas decors from China are cheaper but handcrafted are still prefer by many as they are natural and heartwarming.  If given the chance, I intend to establish a store for such soon.  If I will be supported by a grantee or investor, online shop is also possible.

I do not claim ownership to the actual designs and photos.  Images are excerpted.
