Q.3 Radhika was a student of Business Studies of class XII. Her father was a farmer 3
who grew different varieties of rice and was well versed about various aspects of
rice cultivation . He was also selected by the government for a pilot- project on
rice cultivation. As a project work in Business Studies she decided to study the
feasibility of marketing good quality rice at a reasonable price.Her father
suggested her to use internet to gather customer’s view and opinions. She found
that there was a huge demand for packaged organic rice. She knew that there
were no pre-determined specifications in case of rice because of which it would
be difficult to achieve uniformity in the output.To differentiate the product from
its competitors, she gave it the name of ‘Malabari Organic Rice’ and classified it
into three different varieties namely—Popula,Classic and Supreme, based on the
quality. She felt that these names would help her in product differentiation.
