The more orders ‚ or the more fruits‚ the growers harvest‚ the more savings they make‚ as it will in turn get cheaper prices for the materials needed to produce and package as the materials will be bought in larger quantities with more discounts

When the ratio of fixed to variable costs is very high‚ there is great potential for reducing the average cost of production. [pic] The extent to which economies of scale can be exploited in the long run will vary between different industries. In some the minimum efficient scale is reached at a relatively low level of output. The internal scale economies are limited

Long-term considerations relate to overall level of capacity‚ such as facility size; short-term considerations relate to probable variations in capacity requirements created by such things as seasonal‚ random‚ and irregular fluctuations in demand. Because the time intervals covered by each of these categories can vary significantly from industry to industry‚ it would be misleading to
