Abstract
SPICE stands for Smart Plant Production in Controlled Environment Program. This mainly aims to change the perception of farming as labor intensive work. To do this, the program develops crop production system that will easily grow crops and will not require labor-intensive work. It promotes urban farming and high technology plant conservation.
SPICE Program is divided into four projects, one of those is the SPICE Project 3 : Urban Plant Production using Soilless Culture Technology. SPICE Project 3 aims to develop and promote horizontal and vertical type of production models for soilless culture. One of their expected output technologies is the 40ft shipping container farm for lettuce production. The proposed technology is geared toward as a solution to the impending food scarcity problem in the country. It promotes the government advocacy to use hydrophonic as an alternative farming method in the country.
This study is done in order to assess the readiness of the SPICE Project 3 40ft shipping container farm for lettuce production by using Dr. Cooper and Dr. Edgett's ten critical success factor. Cooper-Edgett Stage Gate Framework is also been used to assess the current technology commercialization status of the processed technology.
As a result from the ten critical success factor analyses, it showed where the technology is lacking it's success factor that resulted to a halt in technology commercialization process. Using the results from the analysis, the researcher proposes recommendations in order to overcome the weak factors and to bridge the current stage of the proposed technology.
