Read the following carefully and answer questions 1
The Product:
Fruit growers face particular problems in marketing their produce. It is very difficult for them to distinguish their products from those of their competitors. These businesses, by their very nature, are product-oriented. They have to produce good products to have any chance of surviving in the market.

The use of a generic label for all produce has been used by other fruit producers such as Spanish oranges, Israeli avocados, and so on. You should try to think of a different approach for the fruit grower you are advising.
