Which is the third largest sources of food carbohydrates, the cassava is a substitute food in rice. Many Filipino farmers are engaged in planting of cassava because in our country we only had two kinds of climates that are why cassava is easy to plant here in our country.
A. Background of the Study Casava also known as manloc, vuca, balinghoy, mogomandiola,
kamotengkahoy, and manloc root, a woody shrub of the euphorbiaceous (spurge family) native to South America, is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy. Tuberous root a major source of carbohydrates. Cassava is the third largest sources of food carbohydrates in the topping. After rice and maize.Casava is a major staple food in the developing world, providing a basic diet for over half a billion people. It is one of the most drought-tolerant crops, capable of growing on marginal carbohydrates. Cassava is classified as sweet or bitter. Farmers often prefer better varieties because they deter pests, animals and thieves. The more toxic varieties of cassava are a fall-black resource (a food security crop) in times of famine in some places.
Cassava is also often portrayed in indigenous art. In fact, many, if not most traditional dishes are made with cassava or maize. Today cassava is among the most important crops in the tropical world, although it is only little to known or used in Western Countries. Generally, the people of Paluan Occidental Mindoro are engaged in farming. The said place is a suitable location of Cassava Puto Infinity Production came from the owners because there is no existing business which offer same product in the area.

A. Market Description According to the survey there is a greater demand of the cassava products, because there is a large plantation of cassava in our country especially here in our town. Cassava puto infinity production will offer different sizes of cassava puto which are in demand in the target location. The proponent assumed that the demand and supply will increased after the project has been introduced to the public. The target market is defined
by the customers needs (7-60 years old) who create the market attractiveness of customers based on the marketing strategies that will be profitable and competitive.
Table 1 Product Price Description Cassava Puto Small Medium Unit Price Php. 5.00 Php. 10.00
The table1 shows the price of the product. Which is the unit price of small cassava puto is Php 5.00 and the medium is Php 10.00 .
B. Demand Analysis According to the gathered information, the total population of Barangay 5 including the students from central school is 3,510. The proponents conducted a survey among 359 respondents to get their opinion regarding by a times who avail the product annually. These 359 respondents came from the present population of barangay 5, Paluan Occidental Mindoro using the sloven formula. The survey was distributed among the entire students of Paluan for the proponents to be able to know the respondents perception and preferences regarding the proposed business.
The total population ofBRGY.5 will increased 2.1% multiplied by the market acceptability which is obtained by getting the percentage of respondents who are willing to eat Cassava puto with 90% and multiplied to the fixed agreement by 7 times who avail the products annually that is based on the survey that the proponents distributed.
SLOVEN FORMULA n=N 1+Ne Where: N= the number of people who quality in the area of the study. e= margin of error which is 5% n= number of needed respondents. Solution: n= 3.510/1+3.510 (.05) n= 3.510/1+3.510 (.0025) n= 3.510/1+8.78 n= 3.510/9.78 n= 358.79 or 359 The computation above shows how to get the total numbers of cassava puto respondents to know their opinion regarding the proposed business.

C. Supply Analysis The cassava puto infinity production will be the first that will offer this kind of product in the municipality of Paluan. The proponents believe that the whole market will be their customers and because of the carbohydrates that their product gives it may be substitute by rice. It is also providing a basic diet over a half a million people, they assure that the business is a profitable one.
The supply of cassava of the cassava puto infinity production came from BRGY. 1, Paluan Occidental Mindoro which is owned by Mr. Nestor Tinaliga and if there has a shortage of raw materials the proponents decided to have an alternative supplier which came from BRGY.

D. Demand and Supply Analysis We all know that there are people who do not eat rice in the everyday meal specially during breakfast. Thats why many people are suffer from stomach ache that can cause ulcer. But once they eat substitute food like cassava which is also give carbohydrates like rice they cant suffer from ulcer. This is one major factor why the proponents decided to put this kind of business in the Municipality of Paluan. The gap of the unsatisfied market is obtained by subtracting the projected demand to the projected supply which shows the available market for the cassava.
Table 4 shows the sensitivity analysis of our projected demand and supply gap.
The figure 3 shows the demand and supply analysis for cassava puto. The graph shows that the demand is higher than the supply. This mean that the cassava puto will have a continuous demand in the market it shows that the demand is directly proportional with supply. E. Marketing Strategies Every business must determine their market share that will serve as basis of marketing strategies of the establishment. The proponents consider the 4Ps of marketing mix which are the product, price, place, and promotion. It will define the extent of the market that we need to satisfy. The proponents decided to offer a small and medium size of their products.
1. Product Strategies People today are fun of eating kakanin this will serve as the competitive advantage of the proposed business in order to operate in the market. The proposed business wants to emphasize the importance of appearance and food preparation that enables to attract the customer as well as to achieve customers satisfaction through safe and good quality product. 2. Pricing Strategies The proponents price is low since the proponents will consider the financial status of the family who avail their product. The computation in getting the price of cassava puto well be net purchase + cost of production + markup cost = selling price. 3. Promotion Strategies The Cassava Puto Infinity Production will give free taste as a part of their promotion they also distribute pliers amounting Php 1,000 per month. The proponents also give 5% discount to those customers that have a large volume of purchase on maximum order which is 50 pieces. 4.
