A manufacturing company must have a product to produce and to deliver to its consumers. This product is the life of this company. That’s why a company should select and produce such product which will be profitable for the company as well as beneficial for the targeted consumers. This product can help the company to run a long way and to achieve the expected amount of profit.

As a manufacturing company, we thought about such kind of product which would be profitable for us, fill the necessity of the consumers, useful for environment as well as contribute to our national economy in a large scale.

From this thought, we have searched for ideas of some new products. We have looked for different internal and external sources. And we got huge ideas of new products. But most of these could not fill our expectations. That’s why we were looking for more and more and finally we got some good ideas.

At this time we started to select the best one which would be the most perfect to fill up the contemporary necessity of people and have a great potentiality in future.

Finally we have selected a new product idea. As Bangladesh is an agricultural country, we thought about such type of product that would help our farmers. To grow crops the farmers have to use a lot of insecticide that is so much poisonous and harmful for not only our environment but also human health. So we have thought of reducing the use of insecticide. That’s why our new product is a natural ‘anti-insect’ prepared from ‘mahogany seeds’. It is pure and natural that protects the crops from different insects.

First of all we collect the ripe mahogany fruits from which we separate the seeds. ‘Seed’ is the main raw material of our new product ‘natural anti-insect’. The seed contains some elements that can prevent the insects. Then we squeeze the essence from the seeds. This essence is applied on the land through spray. As a result we can get fresh and poison free harvest.

Page 4: New product development  assignment

We must develop our new product ‘natural anti-insect’ through the product concept. Primarily we tested our product on a piece of land with a small area. And we got the expected result. No insect could attack the land as well as the environment was pollution free.

Observing the initial result, we have been inspired and started taking steps to develop the product quite largely. We started to follow and implement the new product development process.

We want to test the market and the acceptability of our product among the people. That’s why we tried to sell a little quantity of ‘anti-insect’ in a local market of a rural area. Primarily it had been tough to convince the people that it is more beneficial and less harmful for crops land and for the environment than chemical insecticides.

But after some experiment they started to believe that, yes, it works! Latter we observed that the people have accepted our product as the alternative of chemical insecticide.

Finally we have decided to commercialize our new product ‘natural anti-insect’. Our aim is to sell product up to 50 percent area in our country in the first year and in second year, we sell our product up to 80 percent and some foreign countries.

For the planned long-run sales, the total marketing budget will be raised each year by about 2 percent. But other cost will be reduced about 5 percent per year after the first year.

As farmers are not connecting with television or internet, we are advertising this product directly communicating with them and arranging seminars, field-training etc.

Being mainly agricultural country, near about 80% people of Bangladesh are farmers. So we can find a large number of consumers for our new product ‘natural anti-insect’ in our country. That’s why we have taken plan to spread out this product all over the country as well as many foreign countries where agriculture plays a significant role in the national economy of those countries.

We hope that the ‘natural anti-insect’ can fulfill our expectations and one of the basic needs of the targeted consumers. As a result we can contribute to our national economy through bumper harvesting and by this way it will be the most profitable product for our company.

TOPIC ANALYSIS:

New Product Development: New products are the lifeblood of a company. As old products mature and

fade away. Companies must develop new ones to take their place. The development of original products,

product improvements, product modifications and new brands through the firm’s own product

development efforts.

The New Product Development Process:

Companies face a problem- they must develop new products, but the odds weigh heavily against success.

In all, to create successful new products, a company must understand its consumers, markets and

competitors and develop products that deliver superior value to customers. It must carry out strong new.

Product planning and set up a systematic, customer driven new product development process for finding

and growing new products. The eight major steps in this process are given below:

Our New Product Development Idea:

For developing new product successfully, a company must understand its consumers, markets and competitors and develop products that delivers superior value to consumers and take plan.

The systematic source for our products idea. We have developed our product by using both sources.

Internal idea sources:

• R & D

External idea sources:

• Customers,

• Competitors,

• Distributors,

• Suppliers.

New products are important to both customers and the marketers who serve them. For companies new products are a key source of growth. In this report we are showing our new product development idea. Our new product development idea is about a “Natural Anti-insect”.

“Natural Anti-insect” is one kind of insecticide but it is different from insecticide because“Natural Anti-insect” protects the crops from insect but it does not kill insect. There are various insecticides in the market. They have different categories and different prices. But our new “Natural Anti-insect” is totally different from all the insecticides in the market. “Natural Anti-insect” is environment supported. “Natural Anti-insect” is produced from mahogany seeds or fruits.

Figure no. 01

Over view of the product:

“Natural Anti-insect” is an organic solution made from Mahogany seeds and organs from female pests’ solves the agricultural pests’ problem preserving the purity of food.

“Natural Anti-insect” provides a simple and innovative solution for contemporary problem of pests attack to crops. It is a trap used to eradicate the pests in the agricultural field. Pests come to the trap being attracted by sex and lay down their lives. It is purely an organic product that helps to keep food free from poisonous agrochemical and prevent potential toxicity to humans and other animals.

13 | P a g e

Page 14: New product development  assignment

Process:

Scientific Base: The scientific name of the fruit of Mahogany is “Swietenia Macrophylla”. High saturated and unsaturated fatty acid contents are found in the seeds of Mahogany fruits. There are phospholipids, neutral lipids, glycolipids, phosphatidylcholin, tetranortriterpenoids , diacetate resins and phenolic compounds in it. Moreover, the fruits contain triterpenoid-saponins.

So it is scientifically proved that Mahogany seeds and fruits are natural pesticides.

Technical Base: There will be a production plant to process the seeds and fruits where these will be crushed and turned into the powder. Most of the pests are male. The organs from the female are turned into powder that is mixed with the powder made from Mahogany seeds. Farmers mix the powder with the water provided by special pot. The pests will come to the pot because of the appeal of sex for the female and will die.

Why do people choose the “Natural Anti-insect” than insecticides in the market?

“Natural Anti-insect” is harmless than insecticides. It will use this opportunities due increasing demand for pure food and green environment across

the globe. The bigger advantage is that it controls the pests without causing the imbalance of the

environment. That is, it is totally environment friendly. The price of this product is low.

Idea Screening

At first, a company generates huge ideas in order to find a few good ones. Ideas can be generated from internal as well as external sources. The purpose of succeeding stages is to reduce that numbers. The first idea-reducing stage is idea screening which helps to select some good ideas and drop poor ones as soon as possible. Then an idea is taken for developing a new product such as natural anti-insect which is produced from mahogany seeds.

Concept Development and Testing

After developing concept, natural anti-insect needs for testing with a group of target consumers. The concept may be presented to consumers symbolically or physically. We test this product concept with consumers before attempting to turn it into actual this new product. As a result, consumers then may be asked to react to it by answering questions such as those in following---

Do you understand the concept of natural anti-insect? What are its advantages compared with general insecticide? Are the farmers becoming satisfied by using this product? What would be a responsible price to charge for natural anti-insect? Are insects protected by Natural anti-insect? Would you buy such this (definitely, probably, probably not, definitely not)?

The answers of these questions will help the company to decide about the potentiality of natural anti-insect.

Flow Chart.02

Page 23: New product development  assignment

Market Segmentation:

Domestic Market: Agriculture is the single largest contributor to GDP of Bangladesh. The crop production system is labor intensive here. Agricultural product is the main source of nutrition in our country. Agricultural sector in Bangladesh is now in the process of transformation from subsistence farming to commercial farming. So there is a huge potential to be successful in Bangladesh. At first “Natural Anti-insect” will work mainly with domestic market.

The use of pesticides in crop production creates hazards to both the human and non-target species. Pesticide use results in the pollution of the environment such as contamination of ground and surface water, causing harm to aquatic animal. Residues of pesticide on food pose health hazards to consumers. Farmers suffer from skin diseases, even skin cancer. Moreover, land productivity declines because of the use of this poison. More than 20,000 metric tons of pesticides are used in Bangladesh.

Natural Anti-insect will use this opportunities due increasing demand for pure food and green environment across the globe. The contribution of agricultural sector to GDP is 20.48% whereas 43.6% of total workforce is engaged in agriculture. More than 500 lakh metric tons of rice and vegetables are produced in Bangladesh. The volume of pesticides used to protect these crops from pests is more than 20,000 metric tons.

Natural Anti-insect will use a trap to prevent pests. The bigger advantage is that it controls the pests without causing the imbalance of the environment. That is, it is totally environment friendly. Also it does not create any health hazard to consumers and farmers. Finally, it is cheap resulting reduction in production cost.

International Market: About three quarters of pesticide use occurs in developed countries, mostly in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, where high pesticide application rates are common. In these regions, the pesticide market is dominated by herbicides, which tend to have lower acute, or immediate, toxicity than insecticides. So there is a huge possibility of earning profit from the sale of less harmful products. “Natural Anti-insect” will be able to capture the market as it is 100% natural.

Furthermore, market can be segmented according to the size of the products. Different size of the package will be available in the market.

Page 24: New product development  assignment

SWOT Analysis

Our major is that as a new product, anti-insect is a new invention in farm product an environment supported, but our major weakness is lack of much awareness and lack hand wash user people.

ENVIRONMENT:

Micro and Macro environment is going to affect the success of “Natural Anti-insect”

Micro environment

The components of micro environment such as Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors, Marketing

intermediaries, employees, public, and partners have great influence in success of the product. So, the

company will has to maintain its CRM (Customer Relationship Management), PRM (Partner

Relationship Management), ERM (Enterprise Resource Management), SCM (Supply Chain

Management) and KM (Knowledge Management) effectively.

Macro environment

The larger societal forces – demographic, economic, natural, technological, political, and cultural forces

will have effect on the success of “Natural Anti-insect”

Demography – if the population sizes in whole Bangladesh increases then the product will

in high demand.

Economic- if farmer’s income increases then everybody will have the ability to buy our

product.

National economic health- The product will do better if the national economy becomes

healthier. But on the other hand, if the national economy becomes weaker, the product may

found itself in a critical situation.

26 | P a g e

Page 27: New product development  assignment

Technological – if our company can take new technology very fast comparing with others

then obviously our company will take the advantage of creating new product and market

opportunities.

Political situation- if the government loses their rules and regulation such as imposing less

income tax then our company can easily generate profit and can serve more customers.

Besides, political situation may have a bad impact on the product, if the situation is not in a

fair position.

Ours is a manufacturing company and it is a profit making business organization. So we developed a new product idea of ‘natural anti-insect’.

Every person and organization has some responsibilities to the nation and the country. Having these responsibilities we thought of such kind of product which would be a useful product for the targeted consumers and profitable for the company. That’s why from many ideas we have selected the idea of ‘natural anti-insect’ made from ‘mahogany seeds’.

Farmers (our targeted consumers) can use it as an alternative of chemical insecticide which causes huge disservice to human health and the environment.

Mahogany seeds contain some elements that can prevent different insects and help to grow crops safely. Our product is completely natural and it has no harmful effect for the environment.

So, we can say that ‘natural anti-insect’ is a product by which we can earn a huge profit and fulfill our national responsibility.
