If a country wanted to diversify its spice production to include both high-demand and high-value spices, which two types of spices should it prioritize based on the information provided? | Pepper and vanilla. | According to the infographic, pepper is the most important commercial spice, accounting for 60% of the total volume of the spice trade. Vanilla, while only 2% of world trade, is listed as one of the more valuable spices due to its limited production areas (Mexico). Prioritizing these two would address both high demand and high value. | 98 |

If Hemlow continues its current trajectory of growth in terms of both employees and revenue, what might be a reasonable forecast for the company's total revenue and employee count by 2023? | By 2023, Hemlow could reasonably forecast a total revenue of around £12 million and an employee count of approximately 95. | From 2017 to 2020, Hemlow saw a significant jump in revenue from £5.7 million to £9 million and an increase in employees from 57 to 80. Assuming a similar rate of growth, a linear extrapolation would suggest a further increase in revenue by about £3 million and an additional 15 employees by 2023. This projection is based on the observed trends and assumes no major disruptions or changes in the company's growth strategy. | 99 |
