Small Capital - High Demand - Real Profits

👉 Small to medium-scale oyster farming for coastal families. Using hanging, basket, or cage systems in seawater or brackish water areas.
👉 Earn ₱30,000 – ₱80,000 per harvest cycle
(depending on farming scale, water conditions, technique, and local market price)

Beginner-friendly • Low maintenance • Easy to sell locally

🎯 Many people want to start something from home — but they stop because:

👉 With pure honey in Manila selling for ₱700 – ₱1,300 per kilo, just 10–20 colonies can give you a steady yearly income.

🌴 In the Philippines – with its tropical climate and year-round blossoms – a golden opportunity awaits in beekeeping and honey production.

    Oyster farming — is one of the most practical and profitable income sources for coastal families.
In many coastal provinces, households now earn seasonal income from simple oyster setups using baskets, cages, or hanging lines.
You don’t need a large farm:
👉 Oysters grow well in brackish or coastal waters with natural plankton (no feed required).
👉 Beginners can start with small baskets, bamboo poles, or hanging lines from rafts and docks.
👉 Harvest period varies, but many setups take 4–6 months from juvenile to market size, depending on water conditions and seed size.
👉 Demand is steady — oysters are sold to restaurants, seafood stalls, and wet markets, providing reliable seasonal income for families.
