Initial Problem Description

As Greenagro originates from the relatively small and less globally recognized market of North Macedonia, it often faces the challenge of establishing its credibility and demonstrating the quality of its products on the international stage. Despite being based in a market that may not have the same global presence as larger agricultural producers, Greenagro continuously works to overcome this obstacle by focusing on the rigorous standards of product development, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The company strives to build trust with international partners and customers through consistent performance, transparent practices, and a commitment to quality. By leveraging its expertise, strong research foundations, and a customer-centric approach, Greenagro is determined to prove that its products not only meet but exceed international standards, solidifying its reputation as a reliable and innovative supplier in the global agriculture sector.

Context

As we aim to introduce and expand the reach of our products in the international market, we are encountering significant challenges in gaining attention and establishing meaningful engagement with potential partners and customers. Despite our commitment to innovation and the high quality of our offerings, we find that our efforts to present and promote our products are not being met with the expected level of interest or responsiveness. This lack of engagement can be attributed to various factors, including the competitive nature of the global market, as well as the need to effectively communicate the unique value propositions of our products. In response, we are focused on strengthening our marketing strategies, enhancing our global presence, and building credibility through partnerships, certifications, and a consistent track record of success. By improving our outreach efforts and leveraging our expertise, we are confident in our ability to capture the attention of the international market and demonstrate the value of our products.

Connection to cross-cutting areas

Our challenge aligns with both Industry 4.0 and digitalisation. As we expand our innovative probiotic product internationally, we are integrating digital tools and Industry 4.0 technologies to improve outreach, streamline production, and ensure product quality and traceability. Digitalisation plays a key role in enhancing the credibility and accessibility of our products, allowing us to provide reliable data, access clinical study results, and facilitate transparent communication with customers globally. Through these digital advancements, we address our challenge of demonstrating product efficacy and quality, reinforcing our reputation in a highly competitive global market. Additionally, our probiotics contribute to sustainability by offering an eco-friendly alternative to antibiotics, promoting animal health without harmful residues, and supporting overall environmental balance in agriculture.

Input

One of our key products is animal probiotics, which are becoming increasingly important as the ban on antibiotics intensifies. Our probiotics serve as an effective preventive measure against diseases and help boost immunity in animals. Backed by clinical studies, we have proven evidence of their significant health benefits.

Expectations

We aim to establish a strong, positive brand image that reflects our commitment to innovation and quality in agricultural products. Our goal is to develop a targeted marketing campaign that not only highlights the proven benefits of our products but also resonates with international audiences, building trust and recognition.

Desired Team Profile

Yes, we would especially benefit from team members with strong digital marketing skills focused on promoting scientifically-backed agricultural products. Expertise in creating campaigns that build brand credibility and communicate the benefits of probiotics in animal nutrition would be essential. A background in animal nutrition or veterinary sciences would add depth to our messaging, but the primary emphasis is on digital marketing expertise to help us reach and engage international markets effectively.

Additional Information

We’d like all teams to understand a few critical details:

1.Competitive Situation: Greenagro operates in a highly competitive global market for agricultural feed solutions, especially given the rising demand for antibiotic alternatives like probiotics in animal nutrition. Credibility and scientific validation are essential as more companies enter this market.

2.Market Size and Growth: As antibiotic bans increase worldwide, the market for probiotics and other natural health-boosting supplements is expanding rapidly, creating both a significant opportunity and a crowded field of emerging products.

3.Challenges for Small Markets: Coming from North Macedonia, we face challenges in establishing credibility and visibility internationally. Overcoming initial skepticism and establishing Greenagro as a trusted brand requires strategic marketing and strong emphasis on scientific evidence.

4.Regulatory Landscape: The industry is subject to strict health and safety standards, making proven efficacy and compliance essential for product acceptance in new markets.

5.Differentiation through Digital Marketing: Since credibility is key, our marketing campaign must emphasize scientific backing, quality, and innovation.
