 The degree of risk is high
 In this business, due to the lack of chemical
products to boost the development of the plants, the
risks related to the cost control can be high because
of the rarity of certain fruit products in the market
and also due to the fact that most of the local
farmers and suppliers do not have enough
knowledge on how to regulate their process. It will
try to diminish these risks by investing in high tech
storage equipment allowing us to make enough
stock of different products while preserving their
quality and freshness.
