3 Executive Summary Economic assessment of financial information across different value chains & 17 in-depth interviews with industry cluster stakeholders was carried out June Nov Agriculture is a fundamental part of the Okanagan s economy although compared to other industries, agricultural product exports are less than imports, despite a claim for exceptional quality that should encourage specialization and trade to new markets. Price volatility, product lifecycles, changes in market behaviours are mapped to industry responses and it becomes apparent that change and opportunities are not pro-actively managed. A multitude of opportunities are available to the industry and change seems inevitable. 2017, Cartier & Lembke 3

42 Price Elasticity of Demand An economic concept that measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price when all other influences remain constant. Price elasticity is measure of a consumers sensitivity to price Products are either: Price elastic: an small % change in price results in a large % change in demand Unit elastic: a 1% change in price results in a 1% change in demand Price inelastic: a large % change in price results in a small % change in demand Why is Elasticity of Demand important in this study? Lower priced generic products typically exhibit higher elasticity of demand (more price elastic) than higher priced specialty (luxury) products of the same type (more price inelastic) Brand identity lowers price elasticity (products are become more price inelastic), consumers become less sensitive to price increases. 2017, Cartier & Lembke 42
43 Price Sensitivity in Market Segments Price/Litre Price Elasticity Cider Cider is price inelastic. Strong brand identity makes wine consumers less sensitive to price increases Brand identity decreases price elasticity: these products become price inelastic and consumers become less price sensitive 2017, Cartier & Lembke 43

54 Four potential strategic opportunities for conventional apple production 1. Increase the yield per acre with good quality and re-plant new varieties where possible, and hope for high apple prices and government support programs 2. Focus on the high quality fruit brand by removing any lower quality (and cheaper) BC apples from the market (eg into cider production) leaving the lower cost market for imported apples. 3. Follow the cherries and develop export markets for high quality apples as a luxury good. 4. Follow the organic apple producers and build a low pesticide brand for the growing demand of high quality (healthy) fruit 2017, Cartier & Lembke 54
55 Let s Get to Work: The Workshop Process You chose your own group Each group will be asked to develop a strategy for one or more of the opportunities identified from the research Each groups will present their strategy There will be discussion to summarize the strategies and possible next steps You will receive a summary of the research and workshop findings 55

57 Four potential strategic opportunities for conventional apple production 1. Increase the yield per acre with good quality and re-plant new varieties where possible, and hope for high apple prices and government support programs 2. Focus on the high quality fruit brand by removing any lower quality (and cheaper) BC apples from the market (eg into cider production) leaving the lower cost market for imported apples. 3. Follow the cherries and develop export markets for high quality apples as a luxury good. 4. Follow the organic apple producers and build a low pesticide brand for the growing demand of high quality (healthy) fruit Not all opportunities are mutually exclusive a combination can be selected 2017, Cartier & Lembke 57
58 Workshop Group 1: Increase the yield per acre with good quality and re-plant new varieties where possible Outcomes (broad differentiation): Partnering with retailers for new varieties (input and commitment) Increased yield and quality from growers Increased prices for consumers (increased returns to the industry) Strategies (broad differentiation): Industry needs to coordinate their efforts: Develop a strategy for uniqueness/differentiation & a plan for execution Agree new bi-directional contracts to plant acres & sell specific varieties 2017, Cartier & Lembke 58
59 Workshop Group 2: Focus on the high quality fruit brand by removing any lower quality BC apples from the market Outcomes (focused differentiation): Increase returns to growers (30c/lb net return; assume no change in production cost) Predictable quality from growers (low volumes but high return varieties) Strategies (focused differentiation): Focus on growing low volume but high return varieties Enforce grade segregation with clear standards for quality Work with retailers on brand specific programs Triple investment in a pro-active sales approach and marketing Ensure growers are involved and agree on strategy (trigger psychological change) 2017, Cartier & Lembke 59
60 Workshop Group 3: Follow the cherries and develop export markets for high quality apples as a luxury good Outcomes: Increase in exports (100% over 3 years) Strategies: Leverage the Canada brand for food safety Cultivate and increase quality of production Active marketing and lobbying for government support Need international trade expert (hire) Send apple representative globally (use Canadian trade commission) Work closely with Summerland research station to develop new high quality varieties Explore opportunities 2017, Cartier to change & Lembke property tax policy & subsidy programs to support export 60 strategy
61 Workshop Group 4: Follow the organic apple producers and build a low pesticide brand for high quality (healthy) fruit Outcomes: 1. More organic growers (supply 12% of Canadian market with organic apples) 2. Lead the development of organic cherry production (and sales) 3. 10% of conventional apples grown in BC meet IPM standards 4. 50% of Canadian and 100% of Export market know that Canada is #1 in food safety Strategies: 1. Increased education and active recruitment of growers 2. More research on pest management for cherries 3. Develop an IPM standard and credible monitoring / certification 4. Develop a credible food safety rating system and adherence for all stakeholders along the value chain (including retailers) 2017, Cartier & Lembke 61
62 Conclusion: Evaluation of opportunities There is a multitude of opportunities across the different stakeholder groups and working together will achieve better leverage of resources and increase chance of success. 1. A new strategic approach is needed. The BCFGA can trigger the process but development and execution of the plan will have to be led by the BCTFC and independent growers. 2. A better understanding of new market developments and involvement of the grower community are essential for buy-in and success. This cannot be achieved without industry champions. They have to be identified first! 3. Investment is needed to pursue the opportunities, especially for better marketing of BC tree fruits. Much of this investment may come from government but only when offering a clear focus and commitment to a plan. Our next step has to be a collaborative development of this plan. 2017, Cartier & Lembke 62
