What is the difference between a business woman and an entrepreneur? It lies in the genuine desire for transformation. In the case of Ms. Eufemia Ramos, the growth and development of her enterprise sprung from the seed of her urge to make good of whatever resources the Lord has given her and use to help her community elevate socially and economically.
Ms. Ramos is one of the pineapple producers in Cavite who suffers when her pineapple produce ripens and sold at a loss. Seeing this to be a regular experience in her entire community, she thought of processing the pineapple into candies and jams to gain profit from the supposedly loss. Her techniques she shared with her relatives and kabarangays.
Let us allow Ms. Ramos to tell her story: “Nagsimula ang business ko mula noong makahiram kami ng puhunan sa Kabalikat Para sa Maunlad na Buhay Inc. (KMBI). Marami sa aming baranggay ang may tanim na pinya, subalit sobra ang baba ng presyo ng bawat isa kapag ibinenta naming ng hinog. Natuklasan naming puwede pala itong gawing candy at palaman. Naisipan ko na gumawa ng candy at ito’y ibinenta ko sa mga tindahan sa aming lugar, eskuwelahan, at inilalako ko sa mga bahay-bahay. Nagustuhan naman ng tao kaya unti-unti nang dumarami ang bumibili.
Sa ngayon ay katulong ko na ang pamilya ko sa paggawa at pagbebenta. Dinadala nila ito sa ibang lugar dito sa Maynila. Sumali ako dito upang lalo kong mapalago ang negosyo ko at makatulong ako sa mga kapuwa members ko na kasapi sa KMBI at sa mga mamamayan ng baranggay naming nagtatanim ng pinya. Dahil dito, hindi masasayang ang bunga ng pinya naming halos may panahon na halos pamigay nalang ang benta sa mga palengke. Maraming salamat po.”
