Market Analysis Summary
GIF AGRICITY will operate the Organic farming, which is the form of agriculture that utilizes techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compositing and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and control pests on our farm. Organic farming excludes or strictly limits the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, livestock antibiotics, food additives, and genetically modified organisms.
Over the past decade, sales of organic products have shown an annual increase of at least 20%. Organic foods are found at natural food stores and major supermarkets, as well as through grower direct marketing groups such as CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) and farmers' markets.
Organic methods require no synthetic fertilizer and pesticides. The decreased costs on these expenses, along with the premiums which consumers pay for organic products, create higher profits for organic farmers. Organic farms have been consistently found to be as or more profitable than conventional farms with premiums included, but without premiums profitability is mixed depending on the efficiency and management of the farming facility.
GIF AGRICITY will be a business that exercises care and diligence in managing operating expenses while providing a variety of healthy products that customers will enjoy and consider an exceptional value.
Our World Commodities Market will be a platform to buy and sell Commodities Worldwide.

Consumers are willing to pay a premium for the products that offer these advantages and GIF AGRICITY will supply the products that meet the needs of the market demand.
