Invisible traits
Some of HarvestPlus’ biofortified crops look different from the standard….
Some do not.
Should that be a concern?

So why do consumers buy products that look the same but promise something different?
These products deliver something they want Same products – easier to fit into life They believe the promise and trust the sender
So:1. How do we get consumers to want our products?2. How do we generate belief and trust? Can branding help?3. Any specifics for base-of-the-pyramid (BOP) consumers?

ad 2. A brand identity can take many different forms
A brand identity can be linked more or less explicitly to:
The brand’s promise
The brand’s benefits
The product’s attributes
Visual brand elements: graphics, colour, logo
No brand strategy / generic product
Building trust quickly: use a trusted sender.e.g. miller uses his name/brand; crop is mentioned as “Intel inside”.

ad 3. Marketing to BOP-consumers: providing security
Key risk in changing varieties:food and income security.
Positive drivers: involvement - farmer participatory breeding – demonstration fields good access to planting material – free/subsidized samples increased farm revenue through increased production or
improved production efficiency added economic value from improved end-use quality and development of markets for both the harvested biofortified crop(s)
and any processed products made from them.

BOP
ad 3. Marketing to BOP-consumers: education
Key issue: limited awareness and knowledge about the link between food and health.
HarvestPlus crops: in general no practices need to be altered or new skills taught.
So: Is improved revenue not enough a driver? Do we need to talk nutrition?
Yes!Visible traits: positive, neutral, negative image.Invisible traits: avoid misperceptions about having altered food
without consumers’ knowledge.
-> explain, educate, inspire!
