Table 28. Strategic objectives translated into measurable targets.
Market expansion beyond the current plan is explicitly sequenced behind evidence. If by FY2030 the company’s share exceeds 12% without measurable price pressure, a FY2032 expansion to 110 hectares is supported by the seed bank already retained. If price pressure appears, planted area is held and the strategic response shifts to value-added product. Product expansion into dehydrated garlic and certified planting-stock sales is an FY2032 decision.
