MOJICA, ALBERT S. Papaya (Carica papaya) Pickles Processing and Marketing.
Enterprise Development Project. Bachelor in Agricultural Entrepreneurship major in Crop
Production. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2022. Adviser: Dr. Adolfo C.
Manuel Jr. The project was conducted at Brgy. Calumpang Cerca, Indang, Cavite from
April 2022 - May 2022.
Specifically, it aimed to: (1) enhance the knowledge and skills in managing papaya
pickles processing and marketing; (2) determine the profitability of papaya pickles processing
and marketing; and (3) identify problems and give solutions to problems encountered in papaya
pickles processing and marketing. The project was operated as a sole proprietorship type of
business. It began with the acquisition of the necessary materials and tools. Unripe papaya and
vegetable ingredients were prepared and purchased including sanitizing materials and tools, as
well as sterilizing jars with PVC caps. Veggies and unripe papaya are peeled, diced, and grated
as part of the process. While Vinegar and sugar were then boiled, pickling solution was poured
over the vegetables, and everything was packed into jars and tightly sealed... The student
businessperson saw that obtaining ingredients was difficult due of the erratic weekly market
pricing. Atchara is processed once a week; the student's goal is to process 50 jars per week,
each weighing 500 grams and costing P150 to sell. Selling Papaya Pickles to friends,
classmates, and neighbors was an example of retailing. The operational cost for the entire two
months period of Papaya Pickles processing and Marketing amounted to P18,169.79 with gross
income of $27,600 with a Return of Investment (ROI) at 51.90%.
