00:00Hello, OJ! I am Adel Tandag. You are now here in our AGG Seedling Farm in Masiit, Calawan, Laguna.
00:07Come, let's go inside.
00:08Let's go!
00:27Actually, my dream is to become a mechanic.
00:30When I was young, I was already fond of mechanics and cars.
00:34When I graduated from high school, my father wanted me to go to UP to study.
00:39I graduated in agriculture, majoring in plant pathology.
00:43That's where my interest in plants started.
00:54I worked for a pesticide company.
00:57I was a salesman there.
00:58After that, I went to a seedling company.
01:02I was their sales and marketing manager for the whole of the Philippines.
01:06I managed the seedlings for that company.
01:09My son thought, I can do this. Let's grow our own seedlings.
01:12That's where our business started.
01:17For seedlings, I was the sales and marketing manager for a seedling company.
01:22I was the one who projected their sales.
01:25I was also the one who planned their sales.
01:29I thought, even if their sales in Luzon or Calamarson is less than 1%,
01:35it's already a big profit.
01:37That's why I decided to sell seedlings.
01:39Also, it doesn't require a lot of work.
01:46It's hard to find a client, especially when you're already established.
01:50Because of the pandemic,
01:53we had to spend a lot of money to get here.
01:57That's why we're running out of capital.
01:59Even if we don't have an order, it's still enough for the walk-ins.
02:02There are times when we go to the backyard gardening.
02:06That's where we spend our time.
02:08That's where the backyard gardeners come to us.
02:10If you look at our background,
02:12we're ornamentalists.
02:14Because of the pandemic,
02:16farming became less.
02:19Our clients told us that they don't allow us to go out.
02:25Because of the pandemic,
02:28we had to put in more plants.
02:30That's why we put in more ornamental plants.
02:34I'm an ornamentalist, and my wife is an ornamentalist.
02:40At first, we really didn't have money.
02:42We bought a car.
02:44The delivery cost was P300.
02:47The construction cost,
02:49and the small office cost P300.
02:51The equipment cost P200.
02:54That's almost P800,000.
02:57The place where our greenhouse is located,
03:00is our home.
03:02Because this is where my wife's ornamental plants are planted.
03:06Since it's spacious, we divided it into two.
03:09Half of it is for seedlings,
03:11and the other half is for ornamental plants.
03:18What's strong?
03:20Chilies.
03:22The so-called tingala chilies.
03:24It's called tingala because it has thorns.
03:26That's what they use in Mang Inasal.
03:28It depends on the price.
03:30If the price of tomatoes is high,
03:32it's tomatoes.
03:33If the price of chilies in the farm is high,
03:36it's chilies.
03:37There's no specific time.
03:40It depends on the farm gate price of the commodities.
03:43Here in Sidlingan,
03:45what we earn depends on the season.
03:48The maximum,
03:50if we can fill this in 30 days,
03:53we can earn more or less P83,000
03:56depending on the season of the farmer.
03:58If there's no season,
04:00you can only earn P10,000.
04:02It depends on the season of the farmer.
04:08We rent this place monthly.
04:10We've been doing this for two years.
04:13We earn P16,000 per month.
04:21For any business,
04:22the first thing to consider is the market.
04:25If you produce, you don't have a market.
04:28You should know the background of your market,
04:31not just where to buy.
04:33When I did this,
04:34I bought the land.
04:36In the land,
04:37there are hectares of land.
04:41Before I started the project,
04:42if I can do it,
04:44if you know the market here,
04:46but your supply is small,
04:50maybe you can't pay for your land.
04:53When I first started working,
04:54I lived in Bongluson.
04:56We're a family.
04:58We're not that close.
04:59When we do business,
05:00we're always together,
05:01which is better.
