Abstract:

Corn is a vital agricultural commodity and a primary feed ingredient essential to the livestock and poultry industry. In Occidental Mindoro, particularly in the municipality of Sablayan, the increasing number of corn farmers and animal raisers highlights the need for a reliable, accessible, and cost-effective supply of animal feed. This feasibility study evaluated the establishment of a Corn Feed Mill in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, focusing on market potential, technical requirements, financial viability, and socio-economic impact. A descriptive research design was employed using survey questionnaires, interviews with key stakeholders, and secondary data gathered from books, journals, feasibility studies, and government publications. The results revealed a strong and growing demand for locally processed corn-based feeds, driven by the expanding livestock and poultry sector and the high cost of feeds sourced from other provinces. The technical analysis confirmed the availability of suitable production sites, a sufficient supply of raw materials, and access to skilled labor within the municipality. Financial projections further indicated that the proposed Corn Feed Mill is financially viable, with favorable returns on investment and profitability expected during the early years of operation. Beyond financial gains, the project is expected to create employment opportunities, increase local corn utilization, provide assured market linkages for farmers, and contribute to Sablayan’s overall economic development. Based on the market, technical, financial, and socio-economic analyses, the study concludes that establishing a Corn Feed Mill in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, is both feasible and promising. It is recommended that the project strengthen partnerships with local farmers, adopt efficient milling technologies, and actively engage with government support and industry training programs.
