Abstract	Abstract Bamboo shoots are a nutritious and underutilized food resource in the Philippines, particularly in Laguna, where bamboo is widely cultivated. However, their high perishability limits their availability, leading to food waste and lost economic opportunities. Pickling presents a viable solution by extending shelf life while enhancing flavor. This study examines the feasibility of producing and marketing pickled bamboo shoots in Laguna through a quantitative approach, assessing consumer demand, pricing preferences, and economic viability. A survey was conducted among 100 respondents, including local consumers and food business owners, using a structured questionnaire to gather data on purchasing behavior, taste preferences, and willingness to pay. Descriptive and statistical analyses, including frequency distribution and mean scoring, were used to interpret the findings. Financial feasibility was assessed through cost-benefit analysis, estimating production costs, selling price, and profit margins.
