Bro nobody even addressed the fact that what % of America, hotels wherever who cares, ACTUALLY use ANY kind of chopstick for that matter. What is it, 10-15% in the states? People just use forks😂we are lazy. Half the battle is majority of people just don’t use what she’s selling😆

Her company Cropmade's annual revenue is $1.2 million. Her clients include Disney Parks and Resorts, Panda Inn, and Four Seasons. Kevin was an a$$ for calling her a name. She handled the rejections with class. To be able to get these big clients, she is clearly highly capable and driven than they gave her credit for. I wish this couple continued success with their company.

Not if youre buying them by the truck loads. If a company like PF Changs pays 2 cents more for 500k of chopsticks, its an extra 10k in costs for a marginally better option that most people wont even notice. Plus youd have to teach people how to use it vs. what theyve been accustomed to for a really long time. If shes not at or below the other options, her business will be a niche option or a non-existant one.

From internet search: "Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, with some species growing up to 3ft in one day. Bamboo grows almost 30x faster than regular hardwood trees. This means that bamboo is ready to be harvested in just 3-5 years, compared to the 30-60 years that it takes regular trees to be ready."
