higher aggregate cost for prod for for
those so because farmers
uh price spot no when can
a product from farmer to uh
so higher physical and product quality
loses uh the fish difficulties in

potential to become a global supplier or
basic and value added produce is to be
Unleashed potential to become a logistic
