...In this article there are different strategies given to spot additional value innovation opportunities . Our task is to implement these on the mushroom business we have started. First I will explain the strategies with reference to our industry. The first one is to look across the strategic groups of the industry .mushroom is basically a vegetable, a vegetable which is not so common in Pakistan and difficult to grow. the vegetable industry basically has three strategic groups in Pakistan . the first are the street hawkers and small shops located in almost every kind of locality. The second are the big store outlets like Makro , Metro HKB express etc where people buy vegetables from . the last is the tinned or canned industry. In the last category major products are olive both black and green and different types of mushrooms. What I propose our strategy should be here is that first we should target the restaurants and the big stores like makro. If we fail to convince them then our focus should be towards the major markets where restaurant owners buy these products for example Main Market Gulberg. The second category is to look across the chain of buyers .the obvious customer group are the restaurant chefs. Here what we should do is that rather to focus them we should focus all of the upper middle and upper class. We should market or sell our product in a bit posh areas where this gentry buys their vegetables from. Because they are the ones who already know about mushrooms. lower...

Vast movement of food can cause a problem because it allows nations to make error by transporting the movement of food. As a result people can become sick or suffer illness from wrong products which generally results in recalls of food. Then there can also be a benefit of the movement of food because it allows you to experience food from other nations which otherwise we would be able to experience without traveling to that nation and it also can produce great revenue for that nation when you purchase their goods. The benefit of buying locally is awesome because you receive fresh fruits and vegetables grown right in your area there and there are no additives in the fruits and vegetables because they are provided fresh...

...Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Weekly / Vol. 59 / No. 35 September 10, 2010 State-Specific Trends in Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among Adults — United States, 2000–2009 A diet high in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk for many leading causes of death (1–3) and can play an important role in weight management (4). Healthy People 2010 objectives for fruits and vegetables include targets of increasing to 75% the proportion of persons aged ≥2 years who consume two or more servings of fruit daily and to 50% those who consume three or more servings of vegetables daily.* To assess states’ progress over the past decade in meeting these targets among adults and to provide an update of the 2005 subgroup estimates (5), CDC analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, in 2009, an estimated 32.5% of adults consumed fruit two or more times per day and 26.3% consumed vegetables three or more times per day, far short of the national targets. Overall, the proportion of adults who met the fruit target declined slightly, but significantly, from 34.4% in 2000 to 32.5% in 2009; no significant change was observed in meeting the vegetable target. No state met either target, and substantial variability occurred among states. Only one state had statistically significant increases in the percentages of adults meeting each target. These findings underscore the need for interventions...

...Expansion Ideas As upcoming entrepreneurs we discussed many ideas that will be beneficial to the owners. Many consumers are being health conscience about what foods they should consume, the trend towards organic fruits and vegetables is increasing. We see an opportunity to expand this existent business to have a mobile produce truck a way to get fresh food into kitchens. The mobile store is simply a truck or van that will be converted to have a stand/showcase on the adjacent side of the truck/van, the truck will carry fresh produce and other healthy staples like grain, beans and dairy products that will then be displayed on the stand . The truck will travel to neighboring Old nursing Homes and Retirement Homes on certain days and hours which will be serviced by one to two employees. The prices will be reasonable and affordable to the clients . Many of the existent clients and potential clients will appreciate this unique service that brings the market to their homes. Clients can see, feel, and smell the fruits and vegetables they buy without traveling any distance which is a strategic idea for seniors that are mobility impaired. If the mobile truck expansion plan is too costly we can use another potential alternative which is simply setting up a Mini Market in the retirement home. The mini market will change from location to location on different days of the week so will have a set weekly schedule of the days and times that the Mini market will be open for business. The...

...Although mushrooms have at one time been used as a staple food in some parts of Russia and South America, and they have been served as the main dish during mushroom seasons in Africa, they are generally considered only as an ingredient or complement to various dishes-rather than as a daily vegetable. However, mushrooms have been and will be increasing in importance as a source of food because they have a pleasing flavor, fine texture, adequate protein content (Crisan and Sands 1978), and health benefits (Mori 1974). The demand for mushrooms in some industrialized countries has increased threefold during the period 1965-1975 (Delcaire 1978). As people become wealthier, their consumption of mush-rooms increases. In 1977, the total per capita consumption of Agaricus mush-rooms in West Germany was about 12 times that of the world average. It is hoped that in the near future mushrooms can be cultivated widely just as other common vegetables are. 虽然蘑菇在同一时间都被用来作为俄罗斯和南美一些地区的主食，并已在非洲的蘑菇季节期间作为主盘供应，他们通常被认为只能作为一种成分或补充各种菜肴而不是作为日常的蔬菜。然而，蘑菇已被作为食物来源的重要性将越来越大，因为他们有一个可喜的味道，质地细腻，足够的蛋白质含量（克里桑和金沙1978年），以及健康的好处（森，1974）。 1965年至1975年期间，（Delcaire1978），蘑菇在一些工业化国家的需求增长了三倍。随着人们越来越富裕，他们的消费增加的蘑菇房。 1977年，在西德的人均总消费的双孢蘑菇的客房，是世界平均水平的12倍左右。希望在不久的将来蘑菇可以广泛种植其他常见的蔬菜。 WHAT ARE MUSHROOMS?

Is vegetarian diet really the healthiest way for health and beauty? The answer is no. Vegan/ vegetarian diet is harmful for human beings. It is obvious and scientific that the omnivores is better than vegetarian. As a meat lover, the complete negation of animal foods makes me unacceptable. Eating meat is necessary for the health of humans. The main reason for the vegetarian supporters that they think that just eating plant is enough to stable the body healthy and functioning. But the opposite is true. The vegetarian diet may cause the micronutrient deficiencies and inadequate protein intake. Humans are omnivorous, in our lifestyle, the several of beneficial micronutrient elements are essential. No matter what kind of micronutrient elements lose; it would lead a potential danger for health. Kris Gunnars who works in Authority Nutrition claimed, “Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the most active form of Omega-3 fatty acids and is mainly contained in animal foods. The plant form of Omega-3s, ALA, is inefficiently converted to DHA for health”(Gunnars). It means that the plants cannot provide all the nutrition for body. The vegans would lose many important micronutrient elements and nutrition. And whatever the vegetarian agree or not, the plant must needs...
