Count buyers and pack sizes before planting

Count buyers and pack sizes before planting, identify availability gaps or gluts and test whether the weekly round covers its entered costs.

Your full download

Practical PDF guide, printable buyer and harvest records, and editable Excel workbook. Tabs: Start Here, Bed & Setup Costs, Nursery & Planting, Cut Schedule, Yield & Grading, Buyer Round, Price & Break-even, Cash Flow, Plot Register, Harvest Records, Readiness, Scenarios, Worked Example. Fresh weekly rounds are separate from potted, dried and contract-export routes.

Fictional teaching calculation

120 loaded packs x 90% accepted = 108 packs. At a fictional KSh 50 per delivered pack, receipts are KSh 5,400. Production allocation KSh 2,400 + fuel KSh 600 + 4 hours x KSh 150 + packaging KSh 300 = KSh 3,900. Contribution is KSh 1,500; delivered break-even is KSh 36.11 per accepted pack. These are invented teaching inputs, not market or farm-gate prices.

Evidence boundary

No buyer, exporter or agency was contacted. No herb price in this kit is a market price or a farm-gate price. No yield or compliance is promised. KS 1758:2016 covers production, handling and marketing hygiene and safety for herbs and spices across local, regional and international markets; operation-specific applicability remains user-verified. S7, 6 March 2019, is historical scale-barrier context only.
