<Achievements at this point>
l So
far made 4 rounds of baking and have raised 700,000 UGX in sales.
l We
have innovatively made bread and half cakes flavored with lemon grass essential
oil. This has been liked by most consumers though some do not use/consume lemon
grass flavor.
l Market
readily available –There is ready market and demand as the people who have
tested our products have liked it.
l We
only now need to distribute to other areas. We also need to increase on the
output in order to be able to make profits.
<Improvement needed>
l Marketing
–In order to reach a wider market, not only walk able distances but also within
the district and the neighboring areas/districts. There is an urgent need for getting means of
transport. A pickup truck with a built up container will be ideal for
accelerated distribution and marketing of SORAK Bread and related products.
l We
need to bake much more wheat and many more rounds in order to make profit
l The
wood powered oven was substandard we have had to break it for a bigger and
better one
l Water
supply to the factory is still a challenge as our pump engine is old bought in
2013 now needs a replacement
