Abstract

One of the main sources of food waste is consumers and sellers wasting imperfect food which is still fresh and edible. I conceived a business plan and interacted with 160 surveyed consumers. In my survey, when the imperfect food was less than a percentage of its original price, the participants filled in information about the accepted price. I asked 160 food sellers at what price they would be willing to sell imperfect food. My findings have implications for tackling food waste by increasing sales of imperfect foods. I also analyze the market in terms of Magic Sauces, Current Status, Business Opportunities, Market size, Risks, and the future of my plan, to make sure that the feasibility of my business plan.
