They have to carry out feasibilty studies. Should include:
1. Review of scientific literature
2. Marketability, consumer attitude. Government incentives
3. Available machinery and necessary modifications to extract fiber, qyesra, drying, milling to flour state, packaging and storage processes
4. Source of raw material supplies: via independent venders or and company owned asat farms
