1 Team R.I.C.E. Research Institute for Cultivating Efficiency Kaleigh Ham Joyce Malkoun Samson Yosef Jenny Pan Jia Zheng Steven Immel

2 To increase rice production and yield employment in the Philippines, and to decrease methane emissions globally. Mission Statement

3 Proposed Service and Description Drainage and Fertilizer in the Philippines

4 Purpose: To Decrease Methane Emission and Increase Rice Yield Problem: Increasing Methane Emission due to Wetland Rice Fields Decreasing Filipino Rice Yield Need: To Improve the Philippine’s Rank in the Rice Industry Solution: Use of Mid-Season Drainage System and Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer Our Company’s Service

5 Mid-Season Drainage System: Allow for shallow flooding Drain water for 7 days to stress the soil Benefits: 50% Lower Methane Emission Water Conservation Higher Rice Yield Disadvantage: Production of Nitrous Oxide Benefits and Disadvantages http://www.yesicanusechopsticks.com/thesequel/rice/

6 Purpose of Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer: To decrease nitrous oxide emission To decrease methane To increase rice productivity Purpose of Fertilizer http://blog.vegenag.com/2009/0 3/fertilizer-basics/

7 Operational Structure Domestic and Global Effects

8 Domestic Effects Adds to local economy Give jobs to Filipinos Help with local greenhouse depletion Farmer friendly http://www.stuffidshowmyfriends.com/really-big-holes /

9 Global Effects Adds to global economy Influential in “going green” Easy to execute and implement Promotes employment throughout world http://narsbusiness.com/2010/02/03/plans-to-increase- employment/

10 Financial Implications Project Costs and Projections

11 Budget Costs ExpensesAnnual Cost Water management equipment$1,535,667.376 Ammonium Sulfate$77,908.756 Labor$9,378 Total Cost Year 0$1,622,954.132 Total Cost Year 1-3$87,286.756 http://countrystat.bas.gov.ph/index.asp?cont=selection&pageid=pxweb/dialog/varval.asp&ma=N90FPPRF&path=pxweb/database/main/MEGA/&lang=1

12 Production

13 Projected Returns

14 Marketing Target, Competition, and Promotion

15 Target Rice Manufacturers Filipino Government Philippine Research Rice Institute Bureau of Agricultural Statistics http://www.lawphil.net/administ/da/da.html

16 Competition Traditional Patty-field Production Rice-duck Technology http://www.123rf.com/photo_9230257_panorama-of-the-paddy-rice-field- philippines.html http://www.cooltribe.com/news/rice-duck- farming-can-mitigate-global-warming-study

17 Promotion Market business-to-business communication by creating personal relationships Create a company website and Facebook account for social networking and brand awareness for investors http://jackson.ifas.ufl.edu/4h/images/facebook-logo-768129_000.jpg

18 Limitations Water and Money

19 Water Evapotranspiration, Seepage, Preparation, and Percolation Advantage: less water needed, less methane is produced (temp, rice), less water pollution then traditional methods Disadvantages: weeding required, higher quality water is needed, increases the susceptibility of certain diseases for certain types of rice http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3057/http://www.plantcell.org/content/19/8.cover-expansion

20 Money Advantages: less water needed able to utilize some of the remaining structure Disadvantages: more water management equipment needed more gas required for pump large up front cost http://www.flickr.com/photos/gnarlyleech/4516824222/

21 Overcoming Problems Government support for environmental betterment Genetic modification of rice – More productive, more drought resistant, disease defiant – These modifications could eliminate the majority of limitations Superior fertilizers – Fertilizers that are better adapted to this form of farming

22 Summary Increase Rice Production Reduce Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emission Provide a Stable Food Source for the Philippines Decrease Water Consumption
