Analysis.

      i.   Rain Shelter and structure: 1 Unit of Rain Shelter ( Bay ) measuring
           20ft x 100ft can accommodate 335 chili plants.15 Unit of Rain Shelter
           can therefore accommodate :   15 x   335   = 5025 plants

Each polybag can accommodate 2 plants, therefore : Total number
of plants that can be planted with 15 Rain Shelter = 10,050 plants.

Each Unit/Bay potentially can produce 25kilograms of chillies per day.

15 Rain Shelters can therefore produce 25 x 15 = 375 kilograms of
chillies per day.

     ii.    Analysis of sales/profit. The current chili market price is very
           encouraging and ranges between RM 8 - RM 18 per kilogram
           depending on the types of chillies.

Considering 1 kilogram of chili is priced at RM5.
Sales of chillies from 375 kilogram = RM1875 per day.

Sales of chili per month = RM56,250.

Considering price of chili goes up to RM8/kg.
Sales of chili from 375 kilogram = RM3000 per day.

Sales of chili per month = RM90,000.
