Possible Solutions (Compost Solutions (SC Elements (Sourcing (Large…

- - - - Large compost bags
      - High Carbon materials, depending on how much is available on the farm
    - - Depending on how much the client produces they may need warehousing space to store it.
      - Also need an are to create compost
    - - Processes
        
        Cut up marrows for quicker decomposition
        
        Combine with cattle dung
        
        Turn regularly
        
        Need to manage compost quality to ensure it does not poison the plants
      - Labor intensive
        
        Requires handling of manure
        
        Requires compost tending
- - - - Processes
        
        "Mincing" the marrows and peppers
        
        Preserving
        
        Packaging
        
        Specifically sealing it
        
        Sorting
        
        Flavouring
        
        Loading(I think this type of product can become quite heavy)
        
        Sterilization of containers
      - Operation intensive, requires dedicated facilities as well. Interestingly enough it requires less work than the chips
    - - Oil
      - Preservatives
        
        Honey
        
        Vinegar
        
        Salt
      - Peppers (locally sourced)
      - Basil/Kale/Spinich
      - Packaging
        
        Containers
        
        Branding
      - Garlic
      - Nuts/Seeds
    - - Transport rejected marrows to the farm
      - Transporting pesto from farm to cleints
      - Requires refrigeration(depending on preserving solutions chosen)
    - - Large space required for containers and finished products
  - - - Use of glass containers makes packaging costs moderate to high.
      - However using glass packaging is more environmentally friendly -- recent news articles detailing the amount of plastic found in fish makes this even more important to ensure eco friendly solutions
    - - High cost - this is the biggest problem the client faces with regards to incurring costs as they are remote
    - - Time intensive
      - Higher risk in preparation as preservation is more important.
    - - Higher costs as multiple additional goods need to be sourced to process marrows into sell-able pesto

        Spicing
        
        Packaging
        
        Drying
        
        Cutting
        
        Sorting
        
        Baking/Frying/Dehydrated/Dried
      - Costly as a lot of processing is needed
      - Large Operating facilities to process the chips from marrow into finished good
    - - Spices
      - Preservatives
      - Packaging solutions
    - - Needs to be kept in dry, cool conditions
    - - Will need to transport rejected marrows back to the farm
      - Since we want to enter low cost market, we will need to plan additional transporting solutions for taking the chips to other clients
      - Could try to fit the low-cost Woolworths market
  - - - US $1000-1500 / Ton Sodium Benzoate
      - Relatively Low cost compared to usage
        
        But Higher cost due to transporting from port to farm
      - Can be avoided if we opt for drying/dehydrating however heavily limited on distribution then as most large companies avoid products that might make users sick. **Will find out about this though
    - - High Cost since the farm is remote
    - - Low Cost if very basic
      - Very high cost if printed(depending on material)
      - Both low/high cost packaging are more expensive when trying to be eco friendly
    - - High Cost/ High Efficiency
        
        Machines are used
      - Low Cost/Low Efficiency
        
        Workers use manual means to cut and spice marrows
- - - - Vinegar
      - Herbs
      - Spices
      - Oil

        Adding ingredients
      - Like Pesto, is still labor intensive however also much less work than chips
    - - Need to be stored in cool/safe locations
      - Needs lots of storage space compared to vacuum sealed goods
  - - - High Sourcing Costs as various goods need to be ordered to add to the pickling solution
    - - See pesto costs.
    - - See pesto costs
      - High cost of sourcing goods as they need to be transported to the farm
    - - Time intensive due to being fragile goods
      - Reasonably easy to prepare
