Purchasing EfficienciesQuestions to ask yourself:
Are you buying from the original breeder/producer or are you paying inflated prices by buying through a broker or middleman company?
Are you paying too much to the original/breeder producer and negotiating hard enough to maximise your discounts by supplier or individual product?
Are you buying 'best quality for best price' on all your products from a genetic variety trait and general product quality perspective thus confident your customer is getting the correct quality product meeting or exceeding their expectations?
Are you producing crops with trusted, efficient producers in the right climatical zones and should you produce more crops, without infringing intellectual property rights, to reduce your unit costs and save money?
Are your stock levels too high, what strategies do you have to liquidate surpluses effectively?

Sourcing ProductsQuestions to ask yourself:
Are you sourcing products direct from the original breeder/producer/factory or from an expensive broker or middleman company?
Are you seeking out the 'best' new product introductions, finding those elusive suppliers, visiting the prime international shows, gaining exclusives on products with high sales potential, or are your competitors beating you to it?
Are your new product introductions really new or exclusive, or are they 're-named' products from a 'middleman' at an inflated price. Could your competitors, trade press or even customers, recognise 're-names' and publicly question your brand integrity?
Are your plant breeders truly innovative, are they sourcing from unusual botanical sources, generating enough ideas with strong sales potential and have the technology to develop them?
