Key findings from the report:
- Focusing on key strategic relationships
- Delivering customer value
- Developing a ‘Whole Product’ offering
- Using customer development to investigate and understand customer needs

The five key patterns of success are interrelated and not unique to any specific product or industry. They are all based on the need to deliver genuine, differentiated customer value.
The concepts are applicable to WA scale businesses across all the agrifood sectors and demonstrate how to achieve consistent business growth that is not dependent on operating at global industrial scale.
All 11 case studies demonstrate these five key patterns of success to varying degrees.
The conclusion from the case studies is clear: enterprising SME agrifood businesses can lead their value chain and develop more strategic relationships that enable consistent growth and business success.
