Management and Current Situation of
the Philippine Small Ruminant (Goat)
Industry

Introduction
• Supply chain as applied to the goat industry is a new
concept in the Philippines. The application of supply chain
in the goat industry was popularized in the Philippines by
the team of researchers from the Bureau of Animal
Industry when the research entitled “Development in the
Supply Chain in the Philippine Goat Industry: An
Assessment “ won the Grand Prize Award in Socio-
economics Research at the agriculture national research
contest or the National Research Symposium, Bureau of
Agricultural Research, Department of Agriculture in
October 2007.

Introduction
Supply chain is the core business process in
any organization that creates and delivers a
product or service, from concept through
development and manufacturing or
conversion, and into a market for
consumption.

It is called as the “seed to shelf” or “breed to
plate” or “farm to fork” approach.

5

Supply Chain Framework

6

•According to Price Water Coopers

“Nowadays, it is supply chains
that compete in supply chains.”
Supply chain is driven by
consumers demand.
7

• Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves
the flows between and among stages in a
supply chain to maximize total profitability –
Chopra and Meindl, 2001.
• SCM coordinates and integrates supply chain
activities to deliver customer value – Tony
Hines, 2004.
• As a management concept, SCM integrates
the management of supply chain process –
Jerry Rosenberg, 2004.
8

• The different goals of SCM include: 1) to cut costs, 2) to increase
profits, 3) to improve performance in relationships with
customers and suppliers and 4) to develop value-added services
that gives a company/firm the competitive edge.

• For an industry focus (e.g. goat industry, hog industry, chicken
industry, etc), supply chain management covers an integrated
behavior, mutual sharing of information, mutual sharing of risks
and rewards, cooperation, same goal and same focus on serving
and satisfying customers, integration of processes and partners,
to build and maintain long-term relationships.

Objectives
The objectives of this presentation include:
1) To provide an overview of the goat supply chain in the Philippines
from input supply, production, processing, marketing and
consumption;
2) To provide an overview of the supply chain management and how
it could be applied to the goat agribusiness in the individual
firm/farm level in the Philippines.
3) To identify the best practices along the supply chain;
4) To analyze profitability and competitiveness of chevon vis-à-vis
Australia, Canada, and U.S.A.;
5) To identify the inefficiencies, gaps and problems encountered by
the industry along the supply chain; and
6) To identify strategic directions/recommendation for the DA, BAI,
Local Government Unit and the goat industry stakeholders.

Input Supply
• Improved genetics as a result of imported
breeds mostly from Australia

• The Federation of Goat & Sheep Producers &
Associations of the Philippines, Inc. (FGASPAPI) has
been helping the industry since 2001. It assists in
improving the genetic and breeding practices of the goat
players by regularly conducting national congresses and
trainings to support their members. The Bureau of Animal
Industry and Livestock Development Council and other
institutions are supporting the goat industry in these
activities. 13

There was 2,027 heads of breeder goats importation in
2007. Total breeder goats importation increased by 68
percent from 2003 to 2007. 90% of imports came from
Australia.
14

• According to a major goat breeder
interviewed (Neo Abalos, FGASPAPI
Secretary), he almost perfected his pure
breeding, crossbreeding, and upgrading
operations to meet clients’ weight
specifications.
• The goat industry is a beneficiary of the
development in other livestock
commodities, including production and
processing technologies.

Marketing
•Role of livestock “oksyon” markets
(LOMs) in goat marketing is vital. About
90%-95% of them are being used for
goat trading.

Marketing (con’t)
• Live goats are retailed in selected areas in
Metro Manila. Retail price is P220-250/kg.

• BAI has been conducting live goat, chevon,
and by-products price monitoring in Metro
Manila since 1979. Regular consultation
meeting with the different stakeholders at
national level is regularly being done on a
monthly basis.

Conclusion
•The future of the goat industry is very
promising for prospective investors here and
abroad.
•Credit issues for existing players (constrains
them to expand their operations).
•Philippine chevon is price competitive vis-à-
vis Australia, Canada, and U.S.A. chevon.
•Although the study covered important areas
along the supply chain, there is still a need
to further document other success stories.
51

Recommendations and Strategic
Directions
• Development of local goat genetics for the
international market.
• Revive non-operational livestock auction markets for
goats.
• Continuous partnership of all stakeholders.
• Support of government in packaging investment
opportunities along the supply chain (utilization of
ACEF funds).
• Promote the potential export market of Philippine goat
meat, goat processed meat and goat by-products.
• Pursue more researches along the supply chain which
are market-driven and customer-focused.
