The Commodity Profile Series highlights specific food commodities that are/can be produced abundantly in the country and deserve to be promoted as investment opportunities within the context of a balanced agro-industrial development strategy. It aims to generate awareness and interest on these commodities among prospective individual investors and business entities. Thus, while the profiles focus on the profitability of engaging in specific commodity-based business undertakings, they also provide an overview of the production and post production processes involved per commodity, and dwell heavily on the major factors to consider before operationalizing a processing plant. These factors include market, technology, organization and management, and finance. - From the Book
