Opportunities and Challenges of Micro and Small Agribusiness Enterprises in Zambales, Philippines

Author(s) Dr. Dann Mark Nisperos Dela Cruz, Novelyn Quillao

Abstract This study examined the opportunities and challenges of micro and small agribusiness enterprises in the province of Zambales using a quantitative research design. A total of sixty (60) respondents participated in the study. Findings revealed that most respondents were male, in late adulthood, married, had low income, had been operating for almost a decade, and were engaged in the production sector of agribusiness. In terms of opportunities, respondents strongly agreed on market accessibility, market demand conditions, and technological adoption, while they agreed on financing and investment, and government and institutional support. Regarding challenges, respondents agreed that competition, resources and capital, climate and environmental risks, infrastructure and logistics constraints, and regulatory and compliance issues affected their agribusiness operations. The study further showed significant differences in the level of opportunities and challenges when respondents were grouped according to selected profile variables such as sex, age, civil status, monthly income, years in operation, and type of agribusiness sector. These results indicate that demographic and business characteristics influence how agribusiness entrepreneurs experience opportunities and challenges. Based on the findings, a proposed action plan was developed to enhance micro and small agribusiness enterprises in Zambales through strengthened linkages, market intelligence, capacity-building, inclusive financing, participatory governance, product differentiation, resource optimization, climate resilience, infrastructure support, and streamlined regulatory processes for sustainable development and long-term growth.
