Abstract: This research looked at its value chain in the Partido District in Camarines Sur, Philippines. It used quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct descriptive and narrative research strategies. Several actors are involved in the production, distribution, and marketing. We have already established eight (8) chains, each with unique dynamic relationships. Respondents are paralawod (fisherman), middleman/wholesaler, retailer, and key informants. The researcher used value chain mapping, descriptive statistics, and cost-and-return analysis. The study identified margins in the financial yields. Financial literacy is essential for overcoming disruptions in financial gains and minimizing revenue losses. We highly recommend a thorough evaluation of the application of RA 10645 or RA 8550 to sustain the ability of all or any actors in the chain to make a profit, especially during unyielding times. Actions from various governmental and non-governmental organizations play a crucial role in enhancing “ulob†trade and improving the financial situations of the actors involved. Partido State University, the only state university in the Partido area, may also use the data to initiate community projects that aim to impart information and skills on how the chain’s actors can better budget and save money. National and/or local governments may invest in capacity building in the Partido area to preserve “ulob†production and establish processors.
