The economic climate is making everyone a little more cautious. This year's profits for the company were nearly £6 million, which is higher than our competitors. But the board of directors is apparently unhappy with this return, given the investment that has been made into the business. It wants a significant…

sessment arch Question 3 (13 marks) Maximum word count: 250 words South African pineapple exports decreased by 15% from 2022 to 2023. The South African Pine Growers' Association has identified the worsening of the country's electricity and logistics problems as a significant driver behind the drop in exports. This decrease in exports forced producers to process the pineapples locally, leading to an increase in the production of Porky Pine Pops. However, Porky Pine Pops is considered an inferior good. Simultaneously, households experienced a decrease in real income due to an increase in unemployment resulting from load-shedding.
