Financial Sustainability Plan: What is this solution’s plan to ensure financial sustainability?
Current sales of organic extra virgin olive oil and olive products ensure that the company operations break even at an annual basis. This includes cultivation costs, modernisation of farming equipment, participation in international events, promotion and market education. The establishment of further on-farm infrastructure and the development of more services will aim to diversify revenue sources and create jobs.
