Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

4. BACKGROUND
(CONTD.)
1989 1996 1997 2000 2001
Founded with two
yogurt flavors with
~ $100k Revenue
JimWagner joined
company as CFO
Wagner arranged
for infusion of VC
Capital to fund
investments
VC firm wants out
Growth of $20M
needed by end of
year
5. THE PROBLEM
• In a span of just 10 years, Natureview farms has increased their annual revenues from
$100,000 to $13,000,000.
• Snce Natureview is a small company, they had limited cash assets. So in 1997, Natureview
open their doors to venture capital firms to receive funds that were desperately needed.
• 3 years after the funding by venture capital, they found out that the venture capital firm had
to withdraw and cash out their investment.
• Natureviews main problem is that they have to make strategic marketing
decisions to grow revenues to $20,000,000 from their current $13,000,000 before
the end of the 2001fiscal year.That is about a 54% increase , in 12 months .
• To solve the problem,The main decision would be whether Natureview should expand their
product’s distribution through the supermarket channel across the U.S.A.
• To make the decision, Natureview must first vigorously analyze each channel and their
qualities.
7. CHANNEL ANALYSES
• Supermarket Channel :
• This channel of many supermarket chains scattered across all the regions of the United States.
• In this channel there are 4 steps in the distribution table.The manufacture sells the product to the distributor who sells the product to the retailer on its way to the end
consumer.
• In this channel an 8oz and a 32oz cup of yogurt go for $0.74 and $2.70, while a 4oz cup multipack can sell for $2.85.
• Compared to the nature store channel, this channel is much more technologically driven.
• These new manufactories must pay a $10,000 slotting fee for each stock keeping unit (SKU) per retailer chain in each of the four regions.
• This channel also requires each manufacture to contribute funds a minimum of every 3 months for cooperative weekly trade promotions that average $8,000 nationally / ad,
/retailer chain.
8. CHANNEL ANALYSES
• Nature Stores Channel :
• The nature store channel is friendly to small manufactures whose funds are lacking.
• The only one-time SKU fee for new manufactures in this channel is a allocation of one complementary case of product for every new
SKU in the first year.
• There are 5 steps a product goes through. First the product is manufactured by the manufacture and then is sold to natural foods
wholesalers.Then it is sold to distributers who do bulk breaking and then sell and deliver to the retailers who sell to the final consumer.
• The prices are for an 8oz and a 32oz cup of yogurt go for $0.88 and $3.19, while a 4oz cup multipack can sell for $3.35.
9. SITUATION ANALYSES
Advantages over Competitors :
• Long product shelf life
• Reputation of high quality, taste and
natural ingredients.
• Strong relationship with nature store
retailers.
10. SITUATION ANALYSES
Opportunities :
• Organic food market expected to grow
to $13.3 billion in 2003.
• Nature store channel sales up 20%.
• 12.5% growth in 4oz multipack.
• Increase in consumer interest in organic
foods.
11. SITUATION ANALYSES
MISTAKES :
• Small manufacture, low funds and
revenue.
• Relies on brokers that may not be
adequate for supermarket channel.
• Current marketing strategy based only
on nature store channel.
12. FINANCIAL ANALYSES
• Natureviews revenues are not that bad since they do have 24%
market share to lead their competitors.
• The advertising and sales expenses are little when compared to
the gross profit.This is the main reason why the final net
income is just 2% of revenue.
• If Natureview wants to gain more profits they will have to find
ways to reduce expenses or increase revenue.
13. OPTIONS
• The main reason why the 8oz product was chosen for
this option is because it represents a large part of the
target group.The 8oz size is the most popular and
thus offers the best potential.
• Expected sales are at $25.9 million from this option
alone.
• It is expected to get 35 million units sold to receive
revenue of $25.9 million.
• When that is added with Natureview’s current revenue
of $13million, it will equate to $38.9 million, well over
the $20 million objective.
OPTION1: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 6 SKUS
OF 8OZ YOGURT IN TWO REGIONS.
14. OPTION1: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 6 SKUS
OF 8OZ YOGURT IN TWO REGIONS.
15. OPTION1: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 6 SKUS
OF 8OZ YOGURT IN TWO REGIONS.
This option seems to give the most potential. However it
also has a lot of risks and cost associated with it.The only
way this would be a liable investment would be if some of
the risks were abolished. Otherwise this option seems to be
too expensive and risky to pursue.
16. OPTIONS
• The reasoning behind this is that there will be
less competition in the 32oz category and
that the profit margin for 32oz option is 63%
versus 51% for the 8oz.
• This will bring revenues from this option alone
to $14.85 million.
• When added with Natureview’s current revenue
of $13million, it will equate to $27.85 million,
well over the $20 million objective.
OPTION 2: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 4 SKUS
OF 32OZ YOGURT IN ALL REGIONS.
17. OPTION 2: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 4 SKUS
OF 32OZ YOGURT IN ALL REGIONS.
18. OPTION 2: EXPAND INTO THE
SUPERMARKET CHANNEL WITH 4 SKUS
OF 32OZ YOGURT IN ALL REGIONS.
This option is a differentiation approach. If this option is chosen by
Natureview, they would be one of only a few companies to offer the
32oz size of organic yogurt in the supermarket chain.That fact that
there is not many competitors is a huge advantage. However this
option is also very risky and has many unknown such as whether it is
plausible to distribute nationally within one year.
19. OPTIONS
• Natureview will introduce a new line of products
for children in the nature foods channel.
• The multipack market was identified earlier in this
analyses because of its annual growth rate of
12.5%.
• Even thought multipacks are only 9% of total organic
yogurt sales, the growth will give the market a huge
amount of potential without much risk.
• This option will also require a broker fee of 4%.
• Total revenues with this option will be about 6 million
with 1.8 million units sold at a price $3.35 per unit.
OPTION 3: INTRODUCE 2 SKU OF
CHILDREN MULTI PACK INTO NATURAL
FOODS CHANNEL.
20. OPTION 3: INTRODUCE 2 SKU OF
CHILDREN MULTI PACK INTO NATURAL
FOODS CHANNEL.
21. OPTION 3: INTRODUCE 2 SKU OF
CHILDREN MULTI PACK INTO NATURAL
FOODS CHANNEL.
This option is by far the most conservative of the three. It presents the least
amount of risk because the basis of this option is to stick with what is known.
There are very few unknown variables. However because there is so few risk
involved, reward is also few.The revenues from this options is the lowest of
the three options. Combined with the current $13 million revenue, it
equates to just over $19 million.This is under the objective of $20
million.This must be taken in consideration when choosing the
recommendation.
22. CONCLUSION
• After careful review and thorough analyses of the problem, situation and
available options, It is recommended that Natureview Farms chooses the third
option.
• It offers very few risk and had a vide variety of known variables.
• This option also did not require an entire marketing strategy change. It
used the same distributors, retailers and consumers.
• Natureview must ensure that they can increase the expected revenues by $1
million or more in order to meet or beat the objective of $20 million.
• If this option is followed with the suggested revisions, it has the potential to
increase Natureview’s success tremendously.
