Project 1: Farmers in Cebu and Laguna will likely pay for the microbial fertilizer as it has been shown to improve crop yields and quality without side effects. The increased harvests will economically benefit farmers, retailers, and the fertilizer producers.
Project 2: Local governments are most likely to pay for the environmental monitoring technology as it preserves natural resources supporting tourism, fisheries, and businesses, providing long-term economic and lifestyle benefits to communities in Palawan, Aklan, and Iloilo.

Of course, the researchers and producers of the fertilizer will also benefit.

Guide questions:
1. Who is the end-user for the technology/product?
a. BIO-N: MICROBIAL FERTILIZER FROM UPLB BIOTECH: The end-users are elected farmers of rice and corn from Cebu and Laguna, who will test the effectiveness of the fertilizer. b. IAMBLUECECAM:UP DGE,MSI,DOST-PCIEERD: Researchers and students, study sites are Coron, Busuanga and Puerto Prinsesa in Palawan, Ibajay, Batan, and Kalibo in Aklan, and Banate Bay in Iloilo.
2. Who is the customer for technology/product?
a. BIO-N: MICROBIAL FERTILIZER FROM UPLB BIOTECH: Agricultural farmers b. IAMBLUECECAM:UP DGE,MSI,DOST-PCIEERD: Local communities, local government units
3. Why would the customer be willing to pay for the technology/product?
a. BIO-N: MICROBIAL FERTILIZER FROM UPLB BIOTECH: It is already proven and tested as an effective fertilizer that can improve the quality and quantity of the yield. Also, the feedbacks from the farmers show that there is no side-effect from the product. b. IAMBLUECECAM:UP DGE,MSI,DOST-PCIEERD: Although there is no direct economic benefit, the long-term benefit of this technology is great. It can help preserve and nurture our natural resources, thus helping different areas. It can benefit the local government, the tourism industry, the coastal agriculture and businesses, and the overall lifestyle of the community.
