Cooperatives
Farmer cooperatives are the backbone of agriculture in developing economies. Yet, they face several significant challenges that impact their effectiveness, productivity and sustainability. Challenges include the following:
Operational Inefficiencies
Reliance on manual processes and outdated systems leads to waste, logistical challenges, and reduced profits.
No Digitalization
Digitalization offers many benefits to cooperatives, such as improved efficiency, revenue, transparency and competitive advantage. The shift from paper to digital is hindered by the lack of necessary technical skills and knowledge to implement and maintain digital systems.
Access to Finance
Limited access to financial services and secure transaction platforms hampers the ability of cooperatives to invest in necessary infrastructure and services, limit investment opportunities and risk management.
Market Access
Cooperatives often struggle to access markets resulting in farmers facing unfair prices and unstable livelihoods due to local market volatility.
Compliance Demands
Obtaining necessary compliance data from smallholder farmers in developing markets is difficult.
