MARKETING PLAN
This chapter is a section of the business plan that details the business, its product
offering; the business or product competitors, and its competitive advantage, this is also a
motivated section of the business plan here we can see sales forecasting; we can evaluate or say
whether the business is worthy of venture, whether the business is feasible or otherwise.
The SANS organic offers a kind of fertilizer called the Bokashi Fertilizer originating
from the classic Japanese composting method. It is eco-friendly and enhances soil health,
thus enhancing the health of gardens, farms, and houseplants by providing essential nutrients
such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, facilitating strong growth and bountiful
flowering of sowed plants using said fertilizer. Bokashi Fertilizer is an organic choice for
gardeners and farmers who value both the health of their sowed plants and environmental
sustainability.
The Bokashi fertilizer improves soil composition, strengthens microbial function, and
enhances water-holding capacity which results into plants that are stronger and more
resistant. Moreover, the product does not contain any synthetic chemicals making it safe for
the environment, family and pets. This fertilizer is unique because it has minimal odor and
can be conveniently spread by incorporating it into the soil and sprinkling it near the roots. It
is good for leafy greenery such as vegetables and others, and is appropriate for gardens,
farms, and container gardening. Furthermore, it supports sustainable agriculture largely via
the encouragement of a circular economy with the use of compostable kitchen waste thus,
decreasing waste products that ends up in a landfill, as well as the necessity for chemical
Bokashi Fertilizer for plant growth and environmental sustainability. This fertilizer uses
compostable waste materials such as food and/or kitchen waste which helps in reducing
landfill wastes and minimizes the need for chemicals, thus promoting sustainable agriculture.
Moreover, due to the method and materials used for production, it is guaranteed to be 100%
natural and nutrient-rich, therefore, enhancing the growth of plants and improving soil
condition upon use resulting in healthier and more resilient plants. This fertilizer conforms
with the steps toward environmental sustainability perfect for gardeners aiming to nurture
their sowed plants while taking steps to improve or minimize environmental damage.
Product Quality
The Bokashi fertilizer is set apart from its competitors in that it has a balanced nutrient
profile, easy to use, and has a positive impact on the environment. The bokashi fertilizer
containing a rich variety of nutrients and microbes enhances the condition of soil for planting
and sustainable gardening. Moreover, unlike traditional compose that requires outdoor space
and regular maintenance of over several months, the Bokashi fertilizer produces minimal
odor which makes it suitable for use indoor. Furthermore, the production of Bokashi fertilizer
makes use of compostable kitchen wastes which ultimately reduces household waste and
therefore reduces landfill waste, thus, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, meanwhile,
the health of the soil long term and may contribute to water pollution later on.

from gross profit.
Formula: Operating Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses
In this case: PHP 2,250,000 - PHP 1,630,000 = PHP 620,000
6. Interest Expense:
o Interest Expense represents the cost of borrowing money, in this case, interest
paid on loans totaling PHP 50,000.
7. Net Income Before Tax:
o Net Income Before Tax is the operating income minus interest expenses. This
figure represents the company's profitability before accounting for income taxes.
Formula: Net Income Before Tax = Operating Income - Interest Expense
In this case: PHP 620,000 - PHP 50,000 = PHP 570,000
8. Income Tax Expense:
o Income Tax Expense is calculated based on the applicable tax rate (assumed to
be 25% here) applied to the net income before tax.
Formula: Income Tax Expense = Net Income Before Tax * Tax Rate
In this case: PHP 570,000 * 25% = PHP 142,500
9. Net Income:
o Net Income is the final profitability figure after deducting income tax from net
income before tax. It represents the earnings available to shareholders after all
expenses and taxes have been paid.
Formula: Net Income = Net Income Before Tax - Income Tax Expense
In this case: PHP 570,000 - PHP 142,500 = PHP 427,500
