Farm Cooperative Ansoff Matrix
An Ansoff matrix helps a business discuss growth through existing or new products and existing or new markets. Market penetration focuses on selling more existing products to existing customers. Market development takes existing products to new customer groups or places. Product development adds new offerings for current markets. Diversification combines a new product with a new market and usually carries the most uncertainty. The matrix does not rank choices automatically. Use it to make the assumptions, capabilities, investment needs, and risks of each growth path visible before selecting an initiative.

Scenario

- Enter nearby markets: Test distribution economics in the neighboring city.
- Add convenience: Validate vegetable boxes with current subscribers.
- Stage diversification: Assess the operating model for visitor education separately from farming.
