If you are a close observer of the vegetable farming industry that chili – pepper farming is a part of, you will agree that the industry is anticipated to increase due to increasing consumer health consciousness, which has led to increasing demand for fresh produce.

While per capita fruit and vegetable consumption has remained stable in recent time, the price of vegetables has increased as consumers demand premium, fresh vegetables. So also, the number of both small and large farms have been increasing.

Small, local farms are benefiting from the organic, local movement, while large, commercial farms are improving labor efficiency.

Statistics has it that in the united states of America alone, there are about 76,459 registered and licensed vegetable farms (including chili – pepper farmers) responsible for employing about 317,590 and the industry rakes in a whooping sum of $26 billion annually.

Sam Johnson® Chili Pepper Farms, Inc. employed the services of an expert HR and Business Analyst with bias in the commercial farming industry to help us conduct a thorough SWOT analysis and to help us create a Business model that will help us achieve our business goals and objectives.

Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Sam Johnson® Chili Pepper Farms, Inc.;

Aside from our relationship (network) and equipment, we can confidently boast that we have some the most experienced hands in the business.

  • Weakness:

Our weakness could be that we are a new chili – pepper cum vegetable farming industry in the United States, it might take some time for our organization to break into the market and gain acceptance especially from international markets; that is perhaps our major weakness. Another weakness is that we may not have the required cash to promote our business the way we would want to.

The opportunities that are available to us cannot be quantified, we know that everybody on planet earth eat chili – pepper and other types of vegetables. We are ready to take advantage of any opportunity that is available in the vegetable farming industry.

Both the number of small local and commercial farms have been growing. Increasing imports of fresh produce will slightly constrain demand for chili – peppers and other vegetables. Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is economic downturn.

It is a fact that economic downturn affects purchasing / spending power. Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of a new vegetable farm in same location where our target market exists and who may want to adopt same business model like us.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

If you are conversant with rising technology and scientific development in the agriculture industry, you will quite agree that chili – peppers and other vegetables farming via greenhouse commercial farming model is at the front burner. Greenhouse commercial farming is rapidly gaining entrance in our world today. Greenhouse farming gives room for greater control over the growing environment of various crops.
