toughgoofit,

PCI is per capita income.

According to National Geographic:

In 1990......

Iran had a PCI of $1800.00
China $300.00
North Korea $910.00
Nigeria $370.00
Switzerland $21,250.00
Canada $10,651
USA $16,489.00
Japan %15,570.00
Iceland$16,670.00
and so on.

Who do you want as a customer?

Organics tries to market into a luctative, special market. South Africa once enjoyed a high PCI, now reduced. Good opportunity fell off the horse.

Japan is very interested in organic food. They can afford to buy organics, and they have very little land and few natural resources. I want to target them, too. Willing buyers and willing sellers.

They are amazed by our opportuniies while I sense you are looking for guarantees. There are none.

Who do you want to target? Markets can grow, shrink, cease to exist in a minute, as in Iraq)

When you get married , you have risk, when you get out of bed, you are at risk, and when you grow a crop you take a risk!

Is the toonie your best bet?
