II. STUDY BACKGROUND

A. Brief History of the company

Our journey into coffee bean farming began amidst academic

struggles, as my friend and I sought a solution to our constant fatigue and

inefficiency. Inspired by our love for coffee, we decided to elevate our

passion by venturing into the world of coffee bean farming. Funding our

business proved to be a significant hurdle, but we were undeterred.

Drawing on our savings from stock trading and income from other part-

time work, we pooled together our resources to finance the initial setup
costs of our coffee bean farm. This risky move reflected our unwavering

belief in the potential of our business idea and our willingness to take a

leap of faith.

Despite encountering numerous challenges along the way, including

logistical hurdles and steep learning curves, we remained steadfast in our

pursuit of success. My partner, Maureen, took charge of customer

acquisition and bean sourcing, leveraging her multitasking skills and

determination to drive our business forward. Meanwhile, I focused on

operational aspects, ensuring timely delivery of beans to our customers.

Rain or shine, we persisted, drawing strength from each other and our

shared vision of a brighter future.

the transformative potential of chasing one's dreams. Our once-small

venture has blossomed into one of the largest suppliers of coffee beans

satisfied. By fostering strong relationships with them, we can ensure

steady sales and increase our presence within the community.

Grocery Stores and Markets: Many customers encounter our beans for

the first time in their local grocery stores or markets. It's important to

make our beans stand out on the shelves and offer great value to attract

buyers.

Online Shoppers: With the increasing popularity of online shopping,

more people are buying their coffee beans online. We need to establish a

strong online presence and provide a seamless shopping experience to

capture this market.


Businesses and Offices: Workplaces often provide coffee for their

employees and visitors, presenting an opportunity for bulk bean sales.

Offering reliable, high-quality beans at competitive prices is essential to

securing business customers.

By understanding the needs and preferences of each customer

group, we can tailor our marketing and sales strategies to effectively

engage with them. Building lasting relationships and delivering

exceptional service will be key to our success in the competitive coffee

bean farming industry.

In conclusion, understanding our customers is fundamental to our

success in coffee bean farming. By meeting their needs and preferences,

we can cultivate a loyal customer base and ensure the long-term viability

of our business.

B. TYPES/PROPOSE CUSTOMER SERVICES

At our company, we take pride in offering unique experiences to our

investors, schools, and other interested parties who visit our coffee bean

farm. We understand the value of building strong relationships with our

stakeholders, and our farm tours are designed to showcase the essence of

our business while providing a memorable and educational experience.


When investors or schools express interest in visiting our farm, we

go above and beyond to ensure that their experience exceeds

expectations. From the moment they arrive, they are greeted with warm

hospitality and guided through our picturesque farm. Our knowledgeable

guides provide insightful commentary, sharing the rich history and

intricate processes involved in coffee bean farming.

As our guests wander through the lush greenery of our farm, they

have the opportunity to witness firsthand the care and dedication that

goes into cultivating our coffee beans. We take pride in our eco-friendly

practices, and our guests are impressed by our commitment to

sustainability and environmental stewardship. They learn about our

innovative farming techniques, including organic fertilization methods and

water conservation initiatives, which contribute to the exceptional quality

of our beans.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to our state-of-the-art factory,

where the magic happens. Here, guests are given a behind-the-scenes

look at how we meticulously process, package, and deliver our premium

coffee beans. They witness the precision and care that goes into every

step of the production process, from sorting and roasting to packaging and

distribution.

C. SUPPLIES

Our relationship with our suppliers is built on transparency and

effective communication. In the event of any shortages or losses of beans,

our suppliers promptly notify us, allowing us to take swift action to

address the situation. We prioritize maintaining open lines of

communication with our suppliers to ensure that we can address any

issues promptly and minimize disruptions to our operations.

In instances where we encounter shortages or losses of beans, we

have implemented contingency plans to mitigate the impact on our supply

chain. One such measure is our ability to supplement our bean supplies

through our farm operations. By leveraging our coffee farm, we can

produce additional batches of beans to replenish any shortfall, ensuring


that we can meet our production demands and fulfill customer orders

without delay.

Furthermore, our reliance on external suppliers extends beyond

beans to include essential supplies such as construction materials, heavy

machinery, solar panels, and fertilizers. While we strive to maintain robust

relationships with our suppliers to minimize the risk of shortages, we

recognize that unforeseen circumstances may arise. In the event of

shortages in these crucial supplies, we have established alternative

sourcing channels to mitigate any potential disruptions to our operations.

One critical aspect of our supply chain management is our approach

to fertilizers. We prioritize the use of natural and recycled fertilizers

sourced directly from our coffee farm whenever possible. These fertilizers

are not only environmentally sustainable but also contribute to the health

and vitality of our crops. However, in the event of shortages in our natural

and recycled fertilizers, we maintain contingency plans to procure

alternative fertilizers from external sources to ensure the continued health

and productivity of our coffee plants.

By proactively managing our supply chain and implementing robust

contingency plans, we strive to maintain operational resilience and ensure

the uninterrupted flow of supplies to support our coffee bean farming

operations. Our commitment to effective communication, strategic

planning, and proactive problem-solving enables us to navigate


challenges and sustainably meet the needs of our customers and

stakeholders.

D. COMPETITION

game is crucial.
Understanding Our Competition

Local Coffee Farms: Other farms in our area grow coffee beans too. We

need to learn from their strengths and weaknesses to differentiate

ourselves.

Specialty Coffee Roasters: These roasters bring out unique flavors in

their beans. We can do the same with our beans, making them stand out.

Online Coffee Sellers: Some people prefer to buy their beans online. We

need to offer a great online experience to compete with them.

Strategies for Success

quality, from cultivation to packaging.

these factors, which may affect our crop yields and profitability.

have to follow on our farm. These rules might cost us money or

make it harder to do business.

problems with shipping our coffee to customers, like delays or

accidents. This can make it hard for us to sell our coffee and make
