In order to ensure a regular sourcing to the factory members must be committed and understand the added value of the cooperatives. Many members are unaware of cooperative principles, management and marketing. Record keeping at farm level in order to know the cost price but also to compare production levels and improve this. FACT will be introduced to few active leaders to improve the effectiveness of their lobby. FACT can be applied in preparing a good business plan to apply for funding for the high tech nursery. Financial management to be further improved by recruiting a stronger manager/accountant and follow up the action plan.
