Measure 9: Business plans for producers’ groups or producers’ organizations

Business plans are submitted annually by the producers’ group or producers’ organization and aim the following:

  • Production planning
  • Final product quality improvement
  • Final product commercial value enhancement
  • Better promotion of the final products
  • Protection of the environment
  • Crisis prevention and management

Quality Agro Solution undertakes the drafting, submission, and supervision of these business plans, with consistency, knowledge, and experience, while providing alternative solutions to any challenge that the group or organization is called to face.

Producers’ Groups

A producers’ group is an independent legal entity, which is set up by producers (farmers or stockbreeders). This collectivity co-decides and follows joint action to achieve its goals and interests. Through the cooperation and efforts of its members, their earnings and interests are usually more significant than those of their individual efforts. Moreover, producers’ groups are eligible for aid and funding.

The formation of a Producer Group can be achieved with fewer producers while the formation of a Producer Organization requires more producers and an increased business capacity which is expressed by the value of the production.

The benefits for the members are many and can be summarized as follows:

  • Better organization of the production and trading
  • Improvement of the product quality and competitiveness
  • Achievement of better prices and therefore better profit margin
