 Hurdles /barriers
As we observed in the field various hurdles to the quality of product have been
analyzed in the followings:

1. Absence of adequate Training

2. Selection of product does not have scientific criteria
3. Conflicts within the group exists
4. Individualism rather than collective approach
5. Unawareness towards market standard
6. Unawareness about the market competition

2. Area specific and regionally differentiated strategy to achieve the desired
outcome of the mission

marketing & branding of the product
