What is Production?
• Production is the process of taking resources and changing them into products

What is Production?
• Where ‘inputs’ are processed and turned into ‘outputs’
• When raw materials or components are processed - we call it ‘adding value’
• Careful planning is needed in any production method (arrival of materials at correct stage in process)

Examples of Adding Value
• Dairy farmers can add value to their milk by processing their own products, such as cheeses, yogurt, butter, ice cream, and farm-bottled milk
• Many consumers will pay a premium for locally produced, high-quality dairy products
• Organic certification may also help
