Abstract
Topsoil from agricultural land is becoming depleted in New Brunswick. There is a need
for a substitute for topsoil that will perform exactly or similarly to natural topsoil. There is a need
to determine if a topsoil replacement would be feasible by considering the market as well as the
overall operations for manufacturing it.
Therefore a selection of material must be studied and researched thoroughly that could be
used to emulate natural topsoil. The selection of ingredients that are considered would be
evaluated using certain criteria and the best overall mixture would be created.
The market would be evaluated to determine i f there is a need for the topsoil and what the
demand in New Brunswick is. All the factors such as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats are for a topsoil replacement business.
All the operations would be included in the report to establish the overall process of
topsoil manufacturing. This would include gathering the raw materials, to processing them, and
finally how and when they would be delivered to the consumer.
A conclusion on whether topsoil replacement is feasible would be established. This would
be determined through financial performance analysis. Any recommendations would follow the
conclusions.
