Hi I am a 4th year chemical engineering student at the University of Cape Town. We are currently doing a business project in which our group is involved in producing charcoal briquettes from banana peels,leaves and stems based in Rwanda.

It would be great if we may have some of your insight from your sustainability project topossibly answer a few questions.

Who are the traditional customers in the market ?

What are they currently dissatisfied with in the marketplace ?

What needs are being unmet ?

Are there any groups of customers being ignored?

Would you have insight as to who would be interested in buying our product ? And at what price they would be able to afford such a product.

And how much of the target market do you think would respond to the product ?

Are there any other projects or buisinesses,such as your own, that currently serve the market ?

Look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Regards
Caitlin Bergh
