This project attempted to understand the challenges faced by farmers in apple production and find options that could be employed to help them acquire additional profits. As a result, interviews with our stakeholders revealed that one of their main challenges is the amount of income generated from their produce. To improve their well-being the following recommendations were developed: 1. finding an organization to back production creation, 2. connecting farmers directly to consumers, and 3. performing a reassessment in 3 years.
