Part One Question 1. Answer 1. A) Score Weighted Score Factor Weight Auckland Christchurch Hamilton Auckland Christchurch Hamilton Labour Attitude 0.3 60 70 65 18 21 19 Potato Quality 0.4 70 40 55 28 16 22 Infrastructure 0.3 55 60 75 16.5 18 22.5 Sum 1.0 62.5 55 64 B) We can see from the above table which shows the weighted Score of the three locations Auckland, Christchurch, and Hamilton. In this table after calculating the Score with weight, we got the following numbers: - 1. Auckland: - Labour Attitude is 18; Potato Quality is 28, and Infrastructure Is 16.5. 2. Christchurch: -Labour Attitude is 21; Potato Quality is 16, and Infrastructure is 18. Hamilton: -Labour Attitude is 19; Potato Quality is 22 and Infrastructure Is 22.5. We got the following total of the all factors (i.e. Labour Attitude, Potato Quality, and infrastructure) from the locations: - Auckland: - We got the weight score from this location is 62.5. Christchurch: - We got the weight score from this location is 55. Hamilton: - We got the weight score from this location is 64. Bluebird Potato Chips Company should locate their new potato chips plant in New Zealand at Hamilton. As from the results, we can see that all factors are get the good numbers at the location of Hamilton rather than the
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers food assistance programs that help provide food for low to no income families. It is their goal to increase food security and reduce hunger by increasing access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education for low-income Americans (Caswell, 2013, para. 1). Some of the current nutrition assistance programs include “the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)”(Caswell, 2013, para. 1). SNAP will be the primary nutrition assistance program of the paper at hand. No matter how morally good it is to try to help reduce hunger and increase food security within the United States, there are still many questions regarding issues with SNAP. This paper will be discussing why there is such a strong support for the program, how it helps the United States as a whole, problems with the program, and why some people are against SNAP.
1. UGC estimated that it would need C$150 million to carry out its strategic plans over the coming two years. Will its internal resources provide reliable funding for this program? How much external funding might it need? The company needs to spend C$150 million, which covers the installation of high-throughput elevators (7 or 8 more at $9 million each) and the upgrades of 15 elevators at $3 million each. The rest of the money is needed for the funding of the expansion of Crop Protection Services and Livestock services division.
From 1880-1906, western farmers were affected by multiple issues that they saw as threats to their way of life. The main threats to the farmers were railroads, trusts, and the government, because these institutions all had the power to drastically affect the ability of the farmers to make profits. Therefore, the farmers were not wrong to feel frustration toward those institutions when the institutions caused the farmers to live lives of increasingly extreme poverty.
Rather what I want you do is to highlight what you see for three individual variables (no more than 1 graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), and two or three sentences of interpretation). For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. Please note that at least one of your pairings must include Location and at least one of your pairings must not include Location.
As the population of the young United States increased more and more people hungry mouths were asking for food. Farmers had to keep up with new technology but there were also many setbacks in government policy and economic conditions. In the period of 1865-1900, there were many ways in which technology, government policy, and economic conditions changed early American agriculture.
In the late 19th century, many factors affected agriculture in the United States as small farms transitioned to large farms. Technology, government policy, and economic conditions greatly influenced the way agriculture functioned in America. Farmers were exposed to advanced agricultural machinery and suffered from poor economic conditions due to a lack of government intervention. As production of crops increased thanks to the advancements in agriculture and processing, the prices of food dropped, leading to the eventual downfall of American farmers. In addition, the government was rooting for the success of the national economy, even if that meant choosing to neglect the struggling farmers and workers that made that success possible.
In the time period between 1865 and 1900 technology,government policy,and economic conditions really changed American agriculture. The technology made farming more efficient,and more profitable. Government policies both helped and hindered farmers with helping them transport their products,but they also “stole” from the farmers to help make the government more money. The economic conditions helped farmers with selling more products,and helping cities grow;along with starving families almost to death. All of these coming together really changed American agriculture.
The plant has the ovens, the vats, the prep areas, and the packaging conveyor belts that will be needed to produce the goods to fulfill the new contracts. This plant will have five times the baking production capacity as the current Cambridge plant. A small fleet of trucks, most with refrigeration units, was also included in the package deal so the new plant will not be contracting with a trucking company to get their goods to customers.
~ Petrina and Horace will rate the bananas chosen for the sample. Of course, they will not be told which group the bananas come from. The ratings will be averaged for each year’s production and the average ratings will be compared. If the average rating for last year’s crop is more than 20% higher than the average rating for this year’s crop, this year’s crop will be judged to be worse than last year’s crop
Based on Show Circuit’s positioning strategy, provide a recommendation for a price point for a case of the produce and calculate the company’s contribution per case.
We live in an age in which we have come to expect everything to be instantaneously at our fingertips. We live in an age of instant coffee, instant tea, and even instant mashed potatoes. We can walk down the street at 5 in the morning and get a gallon of milk or even a weeks worth of groceries at our discretion. Even though it is great that food is now readily available at all times, this convenience comes at a price, for both the producer and the consumer. Farmers are cheated out of money and are slaves to big business, workers and animals are mistreated. And, because food now comes at a low cost, it has become cheaper quality and therefore potentially dangerous to the consumer’s health. These problems surrounding the ethics and the
The cultivation of Potato has increased in the last fifty years all around the world. However, its consumption has decreased considerably for the past twenty years because in the developed countries. This is because these some of these developed countries have more abundant proteinous foods rather than depend on starchy food for survival. In the subsequent parts of this paper, the comparative analysis of potato in the China and France will be explored.
Yukon Gold, Idaho Russet, Yams, Fingerling, Reds, and Sweet. These are some of the potato varieties most often found in stores. There are thousands more varieties, but a large majority aren’t commonly known, especially to most Oregonians. Potatoes are all over, but potato farms are scarce in Oregon. Oregon farmers should strive to expand and increase the variety of potatoes grown in Oregon to locally produce a healthier, more cost-efficient potato.

Given the lack of reliable production and consumption data these are illustrative estimates only. Future demand is derived using projected population statistics of 2002. The population in 2002 was 25 million and the population growth between 1991 & 2002 was 3.2 %, and by 2015 the projected population growth as per an estimate would rise to 35 million. We also assume that potato demand equals supply as there is no external potato trade between Uganda and other
