AgriBusiness: Farm Crops Tips
March 24, 2006 by Leo 6,789 Views
I grew up in Bulacan, a province where huge farmlands are situated. Nope, we don’t own one, not even a square meter of land. I grew up in a family that always relocate wherever there’s job opportunity. Since then, I always dream of owning a big farmland and be called a “Don” :). I’m an IT (un)professional, and yet my long term plans are focused into agriculture and aquaculture business. So, for Pinoy Dons out there, here’s a series of agriculture crops than you can produce from your idle farmlands.
Banana – is one of the most common and widely grown fruit crops in the Philippines. It is also one of the country’s major dollar earners, and has consistently ranked next to coconut oil and prawns in terms of value earnings during the last five years
Calamansi – or calamondin is a fruit tree native to the Philippines. It is the most commonly grown backyard tree among the citrus species
Super Peanuts – Mainam na itanim ang mani sa mabuhaghag na lupa tulad ng loam, sandy, silty loam at sandy clay loam. Mainam na itanim ang mani kahit na anong buwan sa buongtaon
Black Pepper (Paminta) – is a viny perrenial plant producing berry-like and aromatic pungent fruits. It is locally known as “pamienta” or “paminta” which belongs to Family Piperaceae. Leaves are thick, green with ovate shape
Garlic – or bawang is a perennial herb of the Amaryllidaceae family. The plant produces bulb which is surrounded by sheaths and composed of thin-shelled bulblets, cloves, or set, all of which are capable of forming a new plant
Ginger – locally known as “luya”, ay mahalaga di-lamang bilang pampalasa ng lutuin kundi sa taglay nitong medicinal properties
Young cob corn – the newly developed corn, has been used by Chinese as vegetable for generations and this practice has spread to other Asian countries

Hello po,
May maliit na farm po kami sa Tarlac at nakita ko po ang problema ng ating farmers kapag nag papatubig sila sa gabi eh wala man lang silang ilaw, ang gamit lang nila eh maliit na flashlight/torch na bibili ka pa ng battery at ang daling maubos na saksakan din ng mahal.
Nag try mo ako na mag research ng solar lights kaya nakakuha po ako ng solar lights, di ka na bibili ng battery ang gagawin mo lang ibilad ito sa araw at nag charge siya thru solar panel.
Anyone who’s interested please send me an email: rodliz12002@yahoo.com

thank you again.
Our home has a large garden and we are thinking of growing vegetables for our own consumption. I’ve long been dreaming of having my own vegetable garden since I grew up with one when my grandfather was still alive.
I just don’t have any idea on how to start. All I can remember from my childhood was the harvesting of crops (all kinds of vegetables, etc.) but not how to plant them.
Who can I go to for help? I would appreciate some advice. Thank you very much.
@Das Zaballero, there are a lot of articles here about growing vegetable crops, even without soil. check it here:

Note to the EntrePinoys:
First let me just salute you for doing a superb job in providing avenues for Filipinos to be entrepreneurs. I just want to raise the folowing points:
First, the Department of Agribusiness Management in the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), is offering Bachellor and Masteral degrees in Agribusiness. It sure would be a great idea to tie-up your organization with the university to attain greater heights through synergism;
Second, it would be great if we can all agree that “Agri-Business” is a single word (no hyphen) – Agribusiness.
Thank you for the post.
