Sales should become cheaper as volume goes up and the market becomes more mature. But supply chain with 17% looks very high for non-perishable goods. They need to be handled with care but this could surely be brought down? Or anyone here who knows why they make up that much of the cost?

Part of this cost is the rapid panel depreciation which increases complexity or causes loss when inventory drops in value.
