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/

14. Philippine Business Culture Doing Business In Southeast Asia

15. Philippine Business Culture Similarities to the United States: Well educated and trained manager Teams are important Business language is English Use proper titles when you meet someone http://www.mapsofworld.com/flags/united- states-flag.html http://www.33ff.com/flags/worldflags/Philippines_fla g.html

16. Philippine Business Culture Cont. Differences from the United States: Companies prefer to hire family members Hiya-shame Filipinos form a relationship with you, not your company Appointments 3-4 weeks in advance Flexible with time Management tends to be paternalistic Small talk Non-confrontational They don’t often say no Don’t expect individual initiative http://writersgateway.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/elearning- design-challenge-series-designing-a-game-based-course/

17. Relationship With Business Partners Outside of Work Dinner Parties: Never call someone a hostess Dress conservatively Bring flowers Wrap Gifts Send thank-you note Dinner At A Restaurant: Pay if you invited Tip 5-15% Fork in left hand, spoon in right Check dress codes http://www.bigfrontuniforms.com/formal-wear-career- apparel.html

18. Marketing Target, Competition, and Promotion

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

20. 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

21. 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

22. Limitations Water and Money

23. 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

24. 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/ http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/uccerice/ http://www.plantcell.org/content/19/8.cover-expansion

25. 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

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