Status, Prospects, and Strategic Options of Buntal Fiber Industry in Marinduque,Philippines

Presented by:

Michael V. Capiña

INTRODUCTION 9 Buri, buntal and raffia fibers are obtained from buri palm, Corypha elata (Roxb). Buri is th matured the t d leaf l f off the th palm, l raffia ffi is i the th young shoot or leaf while buntal is extracted from the petiole 9 Buntal handloom weaving g is one of the more important income-generating activities in the province of Marinduque. According to DTI M i d Marinduque, the h totall value l off processed d buntal varies from P2M and P4M on years 2007 to 2010. 2010

9 FIDA report, around 12.5 metric tons of b t l fiber buntal fib is i produced d d in i the th average every year from 2000 to 2009 nationwide. Most of them came from the provinces of Bohol, Bohol Pangasinan, Palawan, Marinduque and Quezon. 9 Marinduque is one of the known sources of buri palms in Region IV, however, there is low supply of the fibers which is an important raw material in buntal handloom weaving; this limits the expansion of production for both the local and export markets.

9 Problem above is compounded by the absence of a mechanism that could propel the industry to development. development 9 lack of necessary and updated information that could provide base lines for the identification of strategic options that can form viable strategic programs and projects for the development of the industry and its players as a whole

¾ Supply of buntal fiber in Marinduque averaged to 967.33 kilograms g from 2006 to 2009. One half of the total volume of the supply comes from the municipality of Boac followed by Torrijos and Sta. Cruz in decreasing order, it indicate that there is irregularity in the supply of buntal in the province generally attributed to the long, long tedious and laborious manual extraction of buntal fiber. ¾ Likewise, Likewise more of the buntal producers are part timers than regular producers, hence resulting to irregular and unstable supply. ¾ Part timers are engaged in other incomegenerating and other activities such as farming, fi hi fishing, f d processing food i and d vending, di t il i tailoring, carpentry and housekeeping.

Marketing – Channel System of Buntal Fiber Produced in Marinduque

9 Major markets for both semi-finished and finished buntal– based products processed in the province include the following (1) Local processors in Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Marikina, Makati, Paranaque and Quezon City (80% of total produce); (2) Local traders like SM Kultura (10%); (3) Export market like Netherland (5%); (4) Local Trade Fairs (3%); and (5) Local tourist and buyers in the province (2%). 9 In the export market, market FIDA cited that the major importing countries of buntal products (majority is buntal hats) as of 2009 are USA, UK, and Australia. Buntal hats alone generates an average earnings of US$24,957 while an average export earnings of US$368,885 is recorded for assorted fibers from buri. 9 In Marinduque alone, the aggregate weekly demand for buntal fiber of the two major processors of buntal-based products in the province is estimated at 84 kilograms or approximately 4,032 kilograms per year.

Conclusion and Recommendations ¾ Although buri palms are natural stands, there is enough number in the province to supply immediate and future needs for buntal fibers. The palms can thrive even at the most minimum of management, g , future plans to increase its number will be a viable development project in the future; ¾ There is currently enough number of buntal producers whose skills can be further developed through training and who can be partners in technology transfer activities in the future;

¾ The loom weavers in Marinduque are the primary i consumers off buntal b t l fibers fib produced d d in i the th province and that there is an existing marketing channel system that has sustained the buntal fiber industry; ¾ Taking advantage of the abundance of raw materials and skills, both in extracting fiber and loom weaving, coupled with intensive product innovation and new product development, the industry promises opportunity for both providing employment for more farmers and housewives, out-of out of school youths and even working students, thereby augmenting their income
