7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

PART 1
Costing
• The price that are placed at every item or product sale.

Example;
- Seeds
- Water
- Fertilizer or manure
- Tools
- Labour cost
• Every input are added together to gain the result which is profit.
( Profit = Selling price – Cost price )

Marketing
• It is an act of creating, packaging, labelling and delivering.
• Using every platform possible
Example :
- Poster
- Media Social
- Article
- News
( Marketing = Harvesting + Cleaning + Grading 1-2-3-4 )

• Grading 1-2-3-4 standards


1 – Below grade level standards
2 – Developing grade level standards
3 – Meets grade levels standards
4 – Exceeds grade level standards

PART 2
Pineapple ( Ananas Comosus )
• The lifespan is around 7 years.
• The fruits grow 3 times throughout it lifespan.
• Can be harvested between 9 – 24 months based on varieties.
• Used liquid fertilizer in method of foliar
• Silver shine mulching are used to reflect the sunlight.
• The pineapple shoots are used as the seeds.

Senna ( Cassia cobanensis )

1.Green (young)
2.Yellow (not mature yet)
3.Red (cooked/matured)
4.Orange (old
• Only seeds that are edible.

8.0 RECOMMENDATION
I would like to recommend that every person on the class should have an experience to
promote the yields as it generates their income. It can makes the marketing strategy wider
and attract other people to buy the product because they can see a lot of marketing has
been made.

9.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I learnt that the costing materials need to be recorded from the week 1
untill the last week to sum up the money we earned because it will determine the loss or profit
that we get from the yields production. Also, we have to manage the marketing strategy to grow
buyers so we can avoid the loss total.
