Distribution Pathway
Seeing as the Speare Seeds company only distributes their products within Canada, Transportation to Nepal is a challenge. The speare seeds company would first need to transport the seed to Mississauga Ontario where it would be dropped off at a shipping port in pallets. This would be executed by trucking the seed to Mississauga by the use of the Speare Seeds company owned trucks (Hoewing, A., personal communications, October 02, 2016). The A1 Freight Forwarding company is a freight company that will then pick up the pallets of Hybrid Pearl Millet Seed and ship them using ocean freight from Mississauga, Ontario to Kolkata, India (Younge, K., personal communication, November 25, 2016). The remaining transportation methods would then be left up to the Nepalese consumer to proceed with the shipping and distribution of this product as they wish.

Cost Analysis
The Speare Seeds company sells their Hybrid Pearl Millet seed in 50 lbs seed bags for $3.00 CDN per pound, and applied using 25lbs per 1 acre (Hoewing, A., personal communication, 2016). For one 50lb bag of seed, it costs $150.00 CDN. By conversion the cost of one 50 lb seed bag of Hybrids Pearl Millet will cost ₹12271.08. This may be expensive for many subsistence farmers, but will likely lead to a greater profit in the end. Table 2 represents the approximate costs of all the companies involved in exporting this product, as well as the approximate overall cost of the product and shipping this it to Nepal.
