Intervention B 3 Transfer of Capacities and knowledge to the Farmer Organization Level
Programme: B 3 Grading and Quality Control - Transfer of Capacities to the Farmer Organization Level
The group has different (potential) buyers and market channels. For each transaction there is a new (provisory) product consolidation, packing facility and quality control system set up -according to varying criteria- in cooperation with the buyer. This is not only inefficient – it leads to conflicts, misunderstandings, confusion on requirements and limits the development of a regular market success for quality produce. For instance the producer group used to sell their pomelo according to the size of pomelo but the EU market requires to buy from them in the form of size, weight, and number of pomelo per box.
A competent but still flexible (according to specific buyer requirements) Quality Control System should be set up at producer organization level for all their output and respective human resources developed.
