While there are several competitors in the fertilizer market, many focus on synthetic options. By positioning ourselves as a provider of affordable organic fertilizers, we can differentiate Denis Fertilizer from existing players.
Denis Fertilizer will offer competitive pricing, with a selling price of $15,000 per unit while maintaining a unit cost of $10,000. This will allow for a healthy profit margin while remaining affordable for our target customers.

Total startup capital required: $1,000,000
- Unit Cost: $10,000
- Production Capacity: 100 units per month
- Selling Price: $15,000
- Growth Rate: 10% annually
- Operating Expenses: $3,000,000 annually
Based on our production capacity and selling price:
- Monthly Revenue = 100 units * $15,000 = $1,500,000
- Annual Revenue = $1,500,000 * 12 months = $18,000,000
To determine the break-even point, we will calculate the fixed and variable costs. Given the annual operating expenses of $3,000,000 and the contribution margin per unit ($15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000), the break-even point will be:
- Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin = $3,000,000 / $5,000 = 600 units annually.
