Seedling tray demand near Madurai

Fictional sizing exercise · trays per planting window

Estimate trays per planting window and explain the boundary, assumptions and range.

Start with 32 grower groups and 45 active growers per group. Estimate trays per 100 growers before revealing the model.

Reveal the worked estimate

Multiply the two base factors by the rate divided by 100. All figures below are simulated teaching assumptions.

  1. Low · 32 × 45 × 240 ÷ 100 ≈ 3,456 trays per planting window
  2. Base · 32 × 45 × 390 ÷ 100 ≈ 5,616 trays per planting window
  3. High · 32 × 45 × 560 ÷ 100 ≈ 8,064 trays per planting window

Cross-check · Cross-check planted area against transplant density and seedlings per tray.
