How to start your Siomai Business
Food is an evergreen business because everyone needs to eat everyday. A food business is a daily opportunity to earn. In the Philippines, food business is dominated by giant fast food restaurants (like the giant bee, and the big M ) and minority are from small businesses like food franchises or food carts.Among the popular food kiosks is the siomai business and it is still growing.
Traditionally, pork siomai is the only popular siomai recipe but now we have shrimp siomai, sharks fin siomai, and even chicken siomai
Siomai is easy to sell because people can eat anytime of the time. Siomai tends to be a quick meal of hungry passerby, to those who skip breakfast or lunch. In siomai business, you don't need to setup a large space since customers can eat siomai in few minutes and they can swiftly take it out also.
Aside from the taste of your siomai which will highly determine your success in food business, some other things to consider in siomai business are:
1. Location
Look for a busy street with huge people traffic or a spot with huge potential customers.
An example would be MRT/LRT stations or a spot near a school.
Choose a clean place. Avoid places near garbage collection site or comfort rooms since these areas tend to emit unpleasant smell. Aim for a place where you can easily receive delivery and dispose your trash.
2.Management
If you can't be on your store all the time, you should have people who you can trust.
People who are honest and will perform their duties well even if you are not around.
Ensure that they can smile with every customer and deliver good customer services.
3. Suppliers
Most business succeeds because they have good support or good partnership with others.
Look for a supplier who can be your business partner. Arrange for deals that will benefit your business and their business - a Win-Win scenario.
You might look for a regular supplier of calamansi, chili, soy sauce, paper trays, tissues, cups.
If you order in bulks or huge volumes on a regular basis, suppliers will be willing to give you discounts.
Another way to have a cost effective supply is to produce them. An example would be to planting chilis and calamansi. This will take more time,labor and risk but will reduce your costs if done right.
4. Packaging
Look for durable materials. Don't settle for forks, paper trays, and plastics that tears or breaks off easily. Packaging can be your marketing tool to endorse your business name and your siomai brand.
Maximize your packaging by printing your business name on it.
5.Complement your Siomai
What other products can you sell? Bottled Water, Chicken Siomai,Kikiam, Fishballs, Quail Eggs, Black Gulaman.
Before I end this post, here's a couple of siomai business tips from Chinkee Tan

How to Plant Malunggay
Malunggay (Moringa Oleifera) or Drumstick tree/Horseradish tree is dubbed as a miracle tree. It is rich in vitamin C and rich in calcium. Malunggay can be propagated sexually and asexually. Propagation of Malunggay is shared on http://www.dabiotechnet.net/uploads/production%20of%20malunggay%20seedlings.pdf.
Malunggay can serve as forage or a healthy feeding stock for your livestocks such as goats and pigs.
The main problem is not the propagation but on the source of planting material. It's hard to buy seeds in bulk and I'm not aware of commercial stores that sells stems or braches for asexual propagation.
There are one or two retail stores that sell online but they only sell a few.
If you are interested in buying malunggay seeds in the Philippines or planting material, try checking on OLX/Sulit or https://www.facebook.com/MestizaMoringa.

Website: Bioseed Philippines
You can also inquire for seeds in BPI (not the bank). I'm referring to Bureau of Plant and Industry of the Philippines located 692 San Andres Street, Malate, Manila, Philippines
For forage seeds and seedlings like Indigofera, Rensoni, Malunggay, flemingia, ipil ipil for livestocks, check https://www.facebook.com/pages/Forage-Seeds-Philippines/176175225821163 and other websites of goat and cattle farms in the Philippines.
If you are looking for herb seeds and seedlings like mint, oregano, and basil, try Tagaytay city stalls (Rotonda), Quezon City Circle, stalls in the corner of Quezon Avenue and EDSA or Manila Seedling Bank. Please verify first since there was news before that the stalls in Quezon Ave and Manila Seedling Bank will close.
Some SM Supermarket like SM Megamall have herb plants for sale too.

8 Tips on Goat Raising for Beginners
Goat raising is one of the most promising livestock business if managed correctly.
Here are my tips for starting and managing your goat business.
1.Choose the proper breed of goat
Goat breeds like your favorite dogs have different characteristic. Breeds like Boer are good meat producers while Nubian and Saanen are good milk producers. Therefore, you should prefer Nubian and Saanen if you are venturing to milk and dairy business.
2. Build your fences properly
Build your fence to protect your goats and to avoid damage to the community. You don't want your neighbors to complain with damaged flowers or with the smelly goat manures in their garden.
Aldo, goats are intelligent creatures. It can look for spaces at the bottom of your fence and find a ay to escape.
Make sure that the heads of the goat (especially those with horns) will not get stuck on your wire fencing.
3. Grow enough leguminous plants as food source
Ipil ipil and Madre de Cacao are good food sources for your goats especially during summer where there are less grasses. Plant these trees around your farm. You can also use them as posts for your farm.
Please take note that too much ipil ipil leaves can be poisonous to your goats.
4. Go for a good quality buck
Buck will determine the future of your herd. It is known as the most important factor of your success in business because it will affect the genetics, health, and size of your newborn goats.
5. Upgrade native goats
Upgrading of goats is done to achieve a higher quality of goats. It can combine characteristics of two different breeds. Pairing a female native goat and a male boer goat will produce heavier kids compared to kids of pure bred native goats.
6. Build a shelter
Goats don't want rain and they don't want mud. Protect them from winds and storm surge by putting walls and roofs on their shelter. You can use a tarpaulin as alternative if you are low in capital.
7. Learn more.
Continue to read more about goats. There are scholarly studies and research being done on goat breeding and goat management and most of them are available online.
8. Join associations and participate on government projects
You can also join goat association in your town to learn the best practices of other goat farm owners.
Look for projects or seminars being offered by your government. It is usually free and they will be happy to assist you! Furthermore, association or government may lend you loans as capital to kickoff or expand your goat venture. They may also help you on marketing your products,
What tips do you have? I'm still in the learning process and I might be doing things differently so I'd like to know your opinion. Correct me if I miss something. Let's improve the goat industry in the Philippines
