BizIdea 2011/12: Idea Stage

From: Name: Tri Minh Nguyen and Anand Singh. [email protected], [email protected] Student/ Staff/Alumni MBA Students

Question 1: Describe your product or service idea and the problem it solves?

Response:

Our products are bio fertiliser, organic vegetable, bio fertiliser making machine.

The whole process will not have any waste. Vegetable is for sell; the plant and waste from the process of growing will be made into bio fertiliser

using the machine. The fertiliser will be put back to the soil to improve the quality of the next harvest.

By doing this, we able to control the whole process of production.

The next step is producing seed for vegetable as well.The process will maximise the best product we can get.

This also creates a marketing concept of selling truly organic vegetable.

The problem is how to get the Biotechnology that best fit the UK soil. Find a good land for grown vegetables. The best is finding a real famer to

cooperate.
