Over $25 billion repatriated by expatriate Filipinos each year the past decades indicates one thing: they will never tire of trying to help folks back home. The amount however appears to be a small percentage of total Filipino expats' and migrants' incomes, indicating a huge capital potential for mega co-ops if such overseas Filipinos get persuaded to buy mega co-op shares thru relatives or thru mega co-op websites. Mega co-ops have to find ways by which overseas investors may directly buy capital shares instead of passing thru brokers. Overseas Filipinos may also capitalize small businesses that engage in production contracting or supply of materials to mega co-ops as a way of providing income for loved ones back home. Capable and trusted relatives may manage the businesses to acquire specialist skills for further expansion of operations once the expat financier retires and returns to the Philippines with a big 'nest egg'. The specialist skills learned by the managers will ensure no repeats of expatriate Filipinos returning home and setting up micro businesses that soon fold up due to the fledgling entrepreneurs' lack of business experience. For their part, mega co-ops will greatly enhance their export sales and profitability thru scores of such businesses engaged in contract production or supply with the co-op in various product lines.
Another mega co-op way of 'capturing' Filipino expat dollars is the set up and operation of expats' marketing outlets in over 100 countries. The 'bait': expat groups to earn 'sideline' income by setting up wholesale, retail and service businesses within their foreign areas of employment. What mega co-op products and services may be sold at good profit by expat businesses? Here are some schemes:
a) Wholesale and retail of foods with anti-oxidant additives that help prevent diabetes, hypertension, cancers, premature ageing, and their related complications. Examples: organic sorghum syrup, brown sugar, stevia powder, forest berry juices and wines, noni and acai syrups, pineapple juice with yacon, powdered barley and wheatgrass shoots, extracts or powders of corchorus, mangosteen, moringa, soursop, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, ginseng, etc. Asian and European style sausages, biscuits, pastries and sweets with such additives imported from mega co-ops should be major offers as well. Companies set up by nurses' associations may set up 'healthy options' fast food outlets as well as hospital and school catering outfits that sell foods spiced with preventives against deadly diseases such as previously mentioned. Filipino mariner groups may set up companies that supply health foods and additives to cruise ships, navy ships and other marine vessels. Associations of domestic helpers or construction workers may set up 'healthy options' restaurants and fast foods in joint venture with local entrepreneurs. Such businesses spreading worldwide thru overseas Filipino groups in over 100 countries will provide billion-dollar 'automatic' marketing nets for all Philippine mega co-op corporate groups.
b) Supply of bulk organic sugar, sorghum syrup, stevia, anti-oxidant teas, soursop and yacon powders, fruit purees, powdered moringa and barley shoots, cinnamon, high-fiber psyllium, quinoa, adlai, dried mangoes and jackfruit, glutinous rice, extracts of forest berries, noni and aloe vera extracts, peanuts, cocoa and cacao powders, desiccated coconut meat, seaweed and chlorophyll powders, sesame, hemp and other tropical seeds, as well as other health additives to companies that manufacture candies, soft drinks, juices, pastries, syrups, cereals, biscuits, energy bars, etc. The buyers should advertise their new health products as spiked with anti-oxidant preventives against diabetes, hypertension, cancers, obesity, low immune function and ageing. Despite higher prices, the health products should be preferred not only by senior buyers but by entire families as well because of the health benefits they provide.
c) Operation of fast food outlets that sell pizzas with quinoa and adlai high protein flours (produced by Philippine mega co-op farms) mixed with the usual wheat flour to form the 'base'. It takes thrice the time for quinoa and adlai eaters to feel hungry again compared to wheat, due to the former grains' high protein and fiber content. Foods with such grains should sell very well to weight watchers especially if they are spiked as well with the health powders mentioned. Canned tomato paste, mushrooms, asparagus, pineapples, ground organic meats, diced sausages and other pizza ingredients that are all spiked with nutraceutical powders or extracts such as previously mentioned may also be imported from Philippine mega co-ops. Nutraceuticals and powdered veggies added to ground meats and sausages as pizza and sandwich ingredients add disease-preventing features. Fresh, pureed or canned fruits and vegetables exported by mega co-ops may be converted to smoothies, juices and health drinks as fast food offers. The fast food shops have to heavily advertise their offers' health benefits to 1st World populations who are mostly health and figure conscious.
d) Operation of tour agencies that offer 'internet friendship tours' to all possible prospects. All interested in Philippine tours may first access blogs and websites run by mega co-op tour agencies that bring together local and foreign tourists who have the same interests, such as island hopping, snorkel, kayak, scuba, surfing, camping, boat sailing and rowing, mountain climbing, oil painting, firearms handling, paintball battles, fiesta-hopping motorbike and coaster caravans, etc. Touring with friends should be much more fun compared to commercial tours, and should encourage foreign tourists to extend their tours and recommend such 'internet friendship tours' to friends.
e) Service shop chain operations. Expats' food marketing companies may later expand towards operation of shop chains for such services as repair of electrical and electronic gadgets, elderly home care, home repairs, beauty salons and barber shops, repair of vehicles, garment design, Asian craft shops, furniture and interior design, oil painting galleries, building and garden maintenance, Muslim restaurants, etc. Skills and related products may be imported from the Philippines.
f) Improvement, prototyping and testing of marketable inventions out of the 1st World's over 25 million patented technologies (plus 300,000 more technologies added yearly) for production licensing to Philippine mega co-ops. The expat companies may design commercialization technologies and earn commissions out of licensing contracts.
What are the activities' climate change signature? Mega co-op profits greatly enhanced by expat businesses worldwide will help provide billion-dollar funds for guarding and protection of mega co-op agro-forests as well as set up of more green industries such as all-electric metal works and parts-making factories. Atmospheric clean-up will be perpetual, for everyone involved should by nature be desirous of perpetual high income.
