When you are planning a commercial project, price is undoubtedly one of the most important conditions for whether the project can achieve market success.

So when you think about price, you actually have to think about the price at which the end consumer gets the product.

As shown in the figure below, a product needs to go through more than 9 links from raw materials to finished products and then to consumers.

The total price paid by consumers when purchasing will be allocated to each link. When the profits are reasonable, the entire supply chain will operate. Otherwise, the product will disappear from the market.

The only complications are the details of the operation, and all that is needed is patience to advance.

Enjoy your business!
