A.1
Promote cooperatives and encourage farmer participation (I/II)
Initiative objective
Standardize supply and improve access to markets
Reduce cost of inputs for farmers
Improve quality and volume of productions
Actions
A.1.1 Support the establishment of cooperatives to achieve scale benefits
Dedicate specific resources for distribution to farmers through cooperatives to
incentivize joining. e.g. subsidized rental cost of machinery or cost of fertilisers
should be larger for cooperatives than individual farmers; access to low cost
credit, technical extension advice and some degree of price guarantee for
farmers in co-ops etc.
Cooperatives should be given the opportunity to pick their preferred incentive
packages
Launch contract farming schemes with co-ops to develop markets for
farm produce
Identify Institutional off-takers, aggregators etc. and size up demand
Obtain buy-in of key stakeholders (aggregators, farmers, co-ops etc.)
Define eligibility criteria for co-ops to join scheme (minimum vol., quality
etc.)
Select and train farmers on how to consistently meet production targets
Design and negotiate terms of contract (Pricing, Freq. of supply etc.)
Create a pilot program for cooperatives to demonstrate value of collective
negotiating, access to inputs at scale, and a streamlined supply chain for
off takers
Establish a small committee (approx. 8-12 farmers) representative of farmers
that show interest in being a part of a co-op and organize meeting to
ascertain level of interest in order to identify farmers interested in joining
co-op
Define membership structure, associated fees (if any) and mode of operation
of co-op
