Benefits
There are many benefits of growing plant
cuttings as opposed to growing seeds. The cuttings taken from a tree or plant
will be identical to the parent plant (Lerner, Welch-Keesey, 2009). Taking a
cutting from a healthy strong plant will in the future increase the strength in
the countries plant genes. Eventually only the best adapted will grow and
create a strong arrangement of healthy plants and trees. Cuttings are
also a lot easier to grow than seeds. It may take a seed two to three years to
germinate whereas a cutting will grow, flower and mature much faster. Cuttings
can be taken from trees, shrubs and any herbaceous plants. Stem cuttings can be
taken as long as there are buds or leaves attached to the stem and a leaf
cutting is taken using only a leaf (Figure 3). Softwood cuttings can be taken
around springtime from new growth and hardwood cuttings can be taken while the
plant is dormant around winter or early spring (Lerner, Welch-Keesey, 2009).

Two Canadian companies that could be involved in exporting Wilsons root stimulator from Brantford are Premier Tech Home & Garden and FedEx Canada. In 2013 Canada exported 479, 363.8 million dollars (CAD) to other countries (Statistics Canada, 2014). Without exports the Canadian economy would be destroyed. So looking at the larger scale picture, exporting more goods helps the Canadian economy. Exporting goods to other countries also allows for more diversity to be shared. Some countries due to their climate cannot grow certain crops, so they import crops from other countries. Countries also specialize in producing certain products based on their geographic location and climate. For example Canada is the producer of 85% of the worlds maple syrup (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 2014). So to be able to share and experience food or products from other countries is amazing.
The manufacturer of Wilsons root stimulator is Premier Tech Home & Garden, a Canadian company that makes Canadian products. If the demand of Wilsons root stimulator goes up, then supply needs to increase to meet the demand of the product. If supply is increased then revenue for the Canadian company is increased. The Canadian company that would ship Wilsons root stimulator is FedEx Canada. FedEx serves 228 countries worldwide and serves 375 airports (Federal Express Canada Ltd, 2014). They could fly Wilsons root stimulator out from Brantford. The benefits to FedEx are much the same as Premier Tech Home & Garden. The more packages and crates FedEx ships the more revenue they make which in turns benefits the Canadian economy and the company.
Inputs required from Premier Tech Home & Garden would be to safely receive their shipments needed to manufacture their products, and then to package and properly test and label everything accordingly. Inputs required from FedEx would be to supply the vehicles, planes and fuel needed to get Wilsons root stimulator from Brantford to the export country. FedEx Canada has 1650 vehicles and 104 international flights a week (Federal Express Canada Ltd, 2014). The labour involved with Wilsons root stimulator would be the employees from both companies safely manufacturing and shipping the product. Since Wilsons root stimulator is made of chemicals it can be manufactured and sold year round.
