Business Profile
When I was serving as civil servant, I realized that worlds
food supply can collapse even with the slightest drop of food growth. Food has
already replaced oil for the most priced commodity. With the notion to sustain
food chain I started food processing unit (YEAR)
in order to link in the chain of what every people involved will feel part
of. Crystal Moon Products is a food
processing organization that produces best-quality food products ranging from
spices, pickles, and paste/ezzey to candies, cookies, and helps farmer in
selling of collected cheese and butter. Through this, the organization aims to
promote the welfare of many farmers and home-based workers by providing the
farmers with access to markets and generating employment opportunities for the
home-based workers and developing their skills to help them earn a sustainable
income.
Social Aspects
When I was serving as a civil servant I met with various
group of people, mostly woman who are either divorced or who cannot meet the
day end meal for the family. I have met those women who lived a life of kitchen
space to the bedroom, who had what it has offered them which was not enough for
them to cash out to the people they owe. In order to help them I came up with
Crystal Moon Product in order to provide jobs to the destitute woman and the
youths. This firm is started with the mission to manufacture best quality
pickle, candies and spices with varieties of taste and sizes, and supply to
marts, hotels and fast-food chain to achieve greater stake holder value through
customer satisfaction and demands. Till date we have been manufacturing higher
quality for utmost satisfaction of not only the company but also of customers
on other side keeping a constant pace with the rapidly changing market trends
and consumer behaviors.
