This article provides you with the fundamental insights, resources, and basic how-to to help you present your cases. disclaimer this article contains my opinion wholly and should not be taken as-is. I encourage you to double-check the statements that I make.

Back it up with concrete data, because of time constraints you need not provide comprehensive data just news snippets or example cases will do.  for example following the above case, chilli fluctuations at a certain time of the year or because we need to import soy from other countries, prices can't be regulated as good as another crop.
  3. Do provide User Stories.  This serves to simplify the broad perspective you may have and help us know your ideas better.

Quick user story learning guide for everyone who want to know what is user story, why user story and how to write user story. Concepts like 3C, user story INVEST will be covered.
