Revenue streams can be considered alongside key resources such as land, biological assets and estate infrastructure; key activities including cultivation, harvesting and replanting; key partnerships; and the cost structure of labour, inputs, processing and upkeep.

Rivalry may arise from other producers competing for buyers, land access, skilled labour or logistics capacity. Supplier power can be examined through planting material, fertiliser, equipment, fuel and service inputs, while buyer power considers the negotiating position of processors, traders and other downstream purchasers. The analysis also tests barriers to new entrants, including land access, agronomic expertise, capital requirements and long establishment periods.
