A common challenge that farmers face is whether to sell wholesale or retail. If you sell wholesale, you typically charge a lower unit price (say, $3/pound for lettuce vs. $6/pound retail). But it takes less time and expense to sell wholesale. How do you decide if the lower price is worth it?
With this tool, you can evaluate the opportunity cost of selling through different sales channels with different pricing structures.
