TABLE OF CONTENTS
Company Slogan
Kamote Nation’s slogan is “Make life sweeter with sweet potatoes” Filipinos have a
bad association with Kamote; for us who have gone through school, every time we are having a
hard time answering those tricky and difficult questions in the examination and would get low
grades we were called by our classmates–“nangangamote”. Unfortunately, this has long been
used term for losers. It has also been a long running joke for some students, who get a low grade,
and when their relatives will throw them banter and say just go to the mountains and plant kamote
“Mamundok ka nalang at magtanim ng kamote”. But, in spite of its bad connotation, Kamote is
very nutritious, it provides lots of benefits in our body, and an important food source in our country.
Kamote is not just the kamote that we knew before, many farmers and local sellers are earning
money because of kamote. It can make life sweeter because it contains a lot of health benefits
that can make a person’s life more “liveable”.
Company Logo
Our company logo is purple to represent the color of sweet potatoes when they are not
peeled-off and also purple is an attractive color it may attract customers. The left sweet potato
cartoon shows a thumbs-up that means our product is a must-try food snack. On the other
hand, the right sweet potato cartoon’s left arm is open meaning everyone is encouraged to try
and be one with us in the Kamote Nation.

Sweet potatoes can be processed into different food products with higher economic value
than fresh roots. According to the Department of Agriculture, because of its many uses, the
demand for sweet potatoes has significantly increased. There are many snacks that can be made
from sweet potatoes like the very known camote cue, kamote chips, kamote turon, kamote fries
and so on and so forth. Since our product is a finger food, we should also look for the demand of
finger foods. According to a website – Frozenfood, The demand for finger foods is benefiting from
prevailing trends in both the retail and foodservice businesses. Many retailers invest in selling
finger foods because it does not require a lot of capital and since food never get out of trend, you
can really gain profit by selling it. Finger foods are in high-demand because of its convenience.
People are mostly busy, so they prefer to eat something that is made simple and easy. People are
more into healthy snacks nowadays, According to The Worldwide Healthy Snacks Market. People
are becoming health-conscious rather than just to satisfy themselves by eating not-so-healthy
snacks. By gathering these informations together, we made a product that will surely satisfy our
customers’ health, budget and taste buds.
The majority of our target market will be coming from the students of The University of
Mindanao. Currently, there are 41,500 students enrolled in this institution. The percentage
demand of our product to the students of UM is 50%. Therefore, out of 41,500 students, half
of them which is 20,750 shows high demand to our product. Supply
When you go to your near local market, sweet potatoes are always present together
with the kamote tops leaves. According to [Link], the production volume of sweet
potatoes in the Philippines is approximately 525.6 thousand metric tons. The production value
of sweet potatoes in the country was almost nine billion pesos.
According to Leeann Rybakov, CEO of BuckWHAT Foods, she guess that in 10 years, the
snacks that will be gravitating will be those with real food ingredients and no processed sugar.
Healthy snacking surely has nutritious core ingredients. As long as flavor/taste experience can
be maintained, it will fulfill the desire for snacking adventure over the next decades. According
to Ellis Fried, CEO of SMPL, the demand for snacking will grow as people are increasingly
busy and on the go. Our product is an example of a finger food. Today, finger food has
become a craze and trend that people are excited about. Finger food is eaten by hand.
Ideally, you will not need a fork, or knife to eat it. The attraction of these foods is that you just
pick them with your fingers & most can also be consumed in a single bite. According to an
article of Didier Sockell – Food For Thought: What spiked the finger food trend? Regardless of
the type of finger food served, finger foods are preferred because it’s a no-mess food, it looks
interesting, simple to serve, convenient, can be very healthy and cost-effective.

To determine the price of Kamote Streepse & Pink Juice combo, we will use Mark-up
Based Pricing
ATC = P 22.85
MU= 78%
Selling Price = ATC + ATC (MU)
= ₱22.85 + ₱22.85 (0.78)
= ₱23.04 + P17.82
= ₱40.86
=
Selling Price ≈ ₱ 40.00
MU % = SP-ATC/SP x 100
= P40-P22.85/P22.05 x 100
= P17.15/P22.05 x 100
