I. Farmers

Runa has worked with about 3000 to 4500 Guayusa farmers in the Amazon in regards to the supply and distribution of Guayusa leafs. The result of surveys (done by Runatarpuna) shows that by incorporating above 3000 to 4500 farmers Runa can generate about 16000 pounds/ month and can potentially generate about $17.2 per year projections.

II. Runatarpuna

Runatarpuna is Runa LLC’s fully owned export subsidiary, to manage the logistic of guayasa production in Ecuador. According to Dan, CEO of Runa LLC, Runatarpuna buys fresh guayusa directly from over 300 indigenous farmers from 50 communities, with whom they have built a strong and equitable partnership. In asddition, each shipment of guayusa that arrives to the US port comes with a supply chain tag that lists the exact farms with GPS coordinates where the guayusa was harvested from, the name of the facility, and the approval forms from the necessary pre-shipment microbiology tests.

III. Runa LLC & Co packer

Arriving processed Guayasa leaf will be sent to New Jersey for bottling process by Union bottling Co and some amount will be sent to Philadelphia, PA for tea bag packaging process by Global Tea Solution, a leading organic co packer for U.S companies. Furthermore, packaged products will be sent to Runa’s warehouse in Lynbrook, NY.

IV. Distributor

Ready packaged products will be distributed from Runa’s warehouse to 20 individual distribution points at this current time. However, as predicted within 5 years Runa will partner with over dozens other distributors to reach cafes, restaurants, and university locations.

    Twelve Trees is a Canadian company that imports loose teas from China. They receive the tea in bulk from independent Chinese farmers, and package the tea in 400g, 2000g, and 5000g portions for distribution among their retailers, for the price of $110.00, $410.00, and $1,180.00, respectively. Their suppliers reside in the Lingnan area (comprising the Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian provinces), and they specialize in Wulong tea, although some of their suppliers also grow green, black, and white teas. During the past fiscal year, the number of retailers interested in purchasing their product in bulk has increased by 37 percent. Twelve Trees attributes their product’s rise in popularity to an increasing interest in alternative health treatments, particularly among young and middle-aged women, and to the fact that the teas are certified organic and grown in a socially responsible manner. While they are excited about the prospects of increased business, Twelve Trees is struggling to find enough Chinese farmers to fill their orders.…

    Dan and Linda are partners and are day-to-day scavengers set in Parkdale, in search of antiques throughout various platforms; stretching from dumpsters to yard sales, anything for a profit. The two are in need of money in hopes of paying off their rent every month, and funding their desire for marijuana, but come into trouble as Dan’s usual supplier ends up being forced out of business. The dismissal of Dan’s supplier means that he’ll need to be needing a new supplier, her being Susan. Susan is among the very bottom of a weed supply chain, and seems to be able to provide a strand of weed that really appeals to Dan. Linda is becoming aware of who Susan is to Dan, begins to feel threatened by her presence. Them as a trio, being potheads, are…

    In addition to concentrates and syrups for sparkling beverages and flavored still beverages, we also sell concentrates (in powder form) for purified water products such as Dasani to authorized bottling operations. Authorized bottlers and canners either combine our syrups with sparkling water or combine our concentrates with sweeteners (depending on the product), still water and/or sparkling water to produce finished sparkling beverages. The finished sparkling beverages are packaged in authorized containers bearing our trademarks or trademarks licensed to us—such as cans and refillable and nonrefillable glass and plastic bottles (‘‘bottle/can products’’)—and are then sold to retailers (‘‘bottle/can retailers’’) or, in some cases, wholesalers. For our fountain products in the United States, we manufacture fountain syrups and sell them to authorized fountain wholesalers and some fountain retailers. The wholesalers are authorized to sell the Company’s fountain syrups by a nonexclusive appointment from us that neither restricts us in setting the prices at which we sell fountain syrups to the wholesalers nor restricts the territory in which the wholesalers may resell in the United States. Outside the United States, fountain syrups typically are manufactured by authorized bottlers from concentrates sold to them by the Company. The bottlers then typically sell the…
