TQM is based on the belief that all of an organizations’ activities need to be focused on improving the product (Gomez, Mejia and Balkin, 2002). With the implementation of moving from non-organic to organic produce, Kudler should focus on kaizen. The principle for kaizen is a continuous improvement in the organizations production system from numerous small, incremental improvements in production processes (Gomez, Mejia and Balkin, 2002). Kudler needs to establish relationships with a few local organic growers to ensure there will be no disruption to its supply of organically grown produce – it may focus on geographically locating them near its stores – and guarantee a competitive price. Kudler will also need to slowly phase in the organic produce because there is the possibility that customers may not accept the higher prices and there are no statistics available to support inventory levels.
The demand for organic foods continues to be higher there than almost anywhere else in the United States. Five years ago, California accounted for 36% of organic sales in the United States, which was by far the most of any state. In 2015, California is still the leading produce in organic fruits and vegetables. The USDA claims that city-dwellers and those on the West Coast are the two demographics that are most likely to eat organic food (Billings, 2015). Finally, downswings in the economy as a whole may influence consumers to purchase more fiscally conservative products affecting TFM and WFM’s same-store sales and profit (Perkins, 2015).

In Ethiopia, the biomass energy accounts for about 90 percent of the total energy consumption of the country (ARSMERDPA, 2005). According to FAO (2010), there is acute biomass scarcity in areas where available supplies of fuel wood are insufficient to meet the minimum requirements. According to César and Ekbom (2013), between 2010 and 2030 the annual fuel wood consumption will rise by 65% in Ethiopia with large effects on forest degradation. Empirical researches in improved cookstoves show that each year 10 million hectares of forest has been cleared for fuel wood gathering in the developing countries like Ethiopia. Thus, fuel wood scarcity and increasing firewood cost become a common phenomenon.
