Abstract: Oklahoma's green producers are not benefiting from a growing fresh market. In order to seize the opportunities offered by the growing fresh market for leafy greens, investment in packing facilities have been evaluated. To make use of these facilities during summer months, the addition of a cowpea shelling enterprise is considered. A business plan for a new generation cooperative is estimated using an updated version of “The Packing Simulation Model” (PACKSIM) The business associates PACKSIM with @RISK®, to incorporate risks in the financial analysis.
