Tocino is a very popular product for Filipino breakfast. The product originated from Pampanga which was called “burong bahi”. Meat material comes from pork but other meat materials can also be processed like beef, chicken and carabeef or nueva beef.
Processing tocino is a good business where 1 kg gives a yield of 15 kgs with the addition of fibers to increase the yield to bring down the cost.
Sixteen (16) servings of tocilog can be produced where one serving portion costs thirty pesos (P30.00). Sixteen (16) serving portions x P30.00 equals P480.00. Forty percent could be considered as the net profit.
There is a good business in tocilog preparation for carinderia.
