Description

This study aims to describe the profile of the dairy buffalo entrepreneurs and analyze their entrepreneurial traits, with the end view of improving these traits. The respondents were 170 dairy buffalo entrepreneurs from assisted cooperatives and associations of the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Descriptive statistical tools (i.e., frequency counts, means and range and ranks) were used to analyze and interpret the data. Data were processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science version 20. Based on the results, the respondents were found to have a moderate score for persuasion and networking, but found to be strong in opportunity seeking, persistence, commitment to work contract, demand for quality and efficiency, risk-taking, goal setting and information seeking, systematic planning and monitoring and self-confidence. It is recommended that PCC should focus on enhancing the competency on persuasion and networking among dairy buffalo entrepreneurs through trainings and seminars.
