Ronald should buy the farm and become owner

Since potato is the main raw material used in making french fries, its prices has a considerable effect on the overall cost and revenue. This is an ingredient that he cannot avoid as well. The only alternative he has to reduce his production cost is to buy potato farm as even though it is a heavy investment, it will yield him long term benefits.
