· The client is a large scale, international food business. The company has a high degree of upstream vertical integration and goes from agriculture to transformed food products.
· The company commits to buy from growers large amounts of produce and they want to return the best possible price to growers.
· The client was looking for a high value transformed product to integrate into their value chain and to assess the right strategy to integrate that new product into the business (acquisition/greenfield/subcontracting)
· We explored a variety of potential transformed products which were not fulfilling the economic objectives of the project.
· We conducted a market study on a brand new product line which was holding a great market potential and returning the appropriate profitability. We then explored the integration of this product into the client’s value chain.
· We developed an implementation model involving a subcontracting agreement and a successful product launch. The work performed involved a selection of business model, a selection of supplier, operationalisation and financial modelling (for board approval).
