III. The demand for flour is adverse since as price increases, demand
decrease and as price decreases demand increases.
Recommendations
I. Since thunder bolt flour is inertial commodity and any increase in price will
cause demand to fall. Government should encourage more businesses to
invest which will result in an increase in supply hence a decrease in price.
II. Businesses can improve or add more nutrients to thunderbolt flour since,
people are purchasing it according to taste.
I. The questionnaires were not distributed to the entire village hence the results
obtained would only be from a few persons.
II. The respondents did not take the questionnaires seriously so they give
random answers which will affect the results obtained.
III. Some of the questions in the questionnaire were difficult which resulted in
the respondents not understanding what the questions asked therefore, some
of the respondents leave the questions out while some of the respondents
give random answers.
