Description
A B2B market is well-established in the US for imported elderberries.This results in millions of dollars going abroad annually that could stay in the US supporting networks of small and mid-size farms. We will develop a pilot scale process to produce elderberry concentrate, and we will provide support for full time farmers who seek to grow elderberries as a high value specialty crop. We will develop a national branding and marketing strategy for Phase III commercialization efforts. Success alliows Eldertide to enter an existing B2B market and eventually export the concentrate.
