Dissertation note: ABSTRACT TITLE SUPPLY ANALYSIS OF SWEET TAMARIND IN AUTHOR ADVISER SCHOOL AYALA, MAGALANG, PAMPANGA CHARIESSE PINEDA NAVARRO FERNANDO C. PANGILINAN, MBM PAMPANGA STATE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY DEGREE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS YEAR COMPLETED : JUNE 2023 The study was conducted to determine the supply analysis of sweet tamarind in Barangay Ayala, Magalang, Pampanga. Specifically, it aimed (1) to identify the socio- economic characteristic of the sweet tamarind growers; (2) to identify the cost and return analysis of sweet tamarind production; (3) to determine the problems encountered by the sweet tamarind growers; and (4) to recommend possible solutions to the identified problems. The descriptive survey research design was used in the study. A survey was administered to conveniently sampled 12 respondents. It was discovered that the majority of respondents are male, between the ages of 51 and 60, married, with a bachelor's degree or higher, have 11 to 15 years of agricultural experience, a household size of one to five, and have land that is between one and two and a half hectares in size. The number of fruit- bearing trees, age of the trees, weeding, fertilizer, cost of production, and losses due to pests, diseases, or natural disaster differ across the respondents' production activities. Respondents share the same practices in planting distance, in-charge of harvesting, harvesting method, pruning, and irrigation. The average percentage of factors that affects their yield are the following: Pest (Euproctis chrysorrhoea) 21.97%, disease (fungus) 22.5%, and natural disaster (Typhoon/Rain) 44.67%. In conclusion, even if the respondents harvested a considerable amount of fruits, losses are still possible. On the side of marketing activities, the harvested tamarinds are distributed in the marketplace, and are transported mainly in Magalang, Arayat, and Bulacan. By quantity, they sold of mostly 100kg. The buyers from the farmers were direct consumers, although there are also wholesalers, traders, and retailers buyers through delivery and pick up by kilograms. Lastly, most of the respondents' source of price determination was the growers themselves. Although the production cost of the respondents is high, the respondents still manage to obtain income. As per the average cost and return analysis of farming sweet tamarind (per tree), the return on investment (RO) is 179.74%. While the break-even point (BEP) is 4.65kgs (per tree) with a cost per unit (CPU) of 44.09 pesos per kilogram. As for the farmers' problems, most respondents said the major problemns they face are price instability, pest and disease management, and climate change. With that, these problems are the most uncontrolled situations.
