3.1 Competitive Comparison
In order to differentiate our product, coffee, which is a commodity, from the
product offering of competitors, all beans are guaranteed fresh and are
shipped within seven days of preparation. The beans shipped by Okyna
Rempah Bali Agro are therefore better than most and are guaranteed fresh. In
addition, all of the farms of Okyna Rempah Bali Agro adhere to
environmentally sound farming practices and avoid the use of pesticides and
chemicals in crop production.
There are approximately ten competitors who offer a product similar to ours.
Our research indicates that with our special treatment for the coffee, we
would become one of the top four, in terms of quality, providers. We also have
the advantage of established distribution channels and reputation. In addition,
improvements to our marketing efforts will further separate us from the larger
market and from our close competitors.
3.2 Sales Literature
Okyna Rempah Bali Agro currently works with importers who handle all of our
shipments. Likewise, we have dealt with the same Indonesian wholesalers, for
internal sales, each year. Sales to this point have been handled through
personal selling. Additional sales literature will include a website, and direct
mail to specialty roasters and importers.
