Generating income through improved agribusiness services to members
Main objective is to work towards the financial sustainability of the federation by providing quality services to its members focussing on improved farm profitability and positioning the cooperatives actively in the agricultural value chain . This is done in various ways:1. Marketing support services to six member organisations in which the federation will support for marketing of high quality agri-products: Turmeric powder maize flour and honey. It fits very well with the government programme: one village one product OVOP. The federation will receive a margin on the sales and if this concept works it can be rolled-out in the future to other cooperatives. 2. Support member cooperatives for cooperative output marketing of potatoes in three member cooperatives. These three cooperatives have identified potato as the main commercial crop and are willing to improve the cooperative business by cooperative output marketing and value addition in the future. This year continues to lay a firm foundation at farmers level for commercial farming (record keeping and bench marking) resulting in higher production productivity and profitability and cooperative marketing concepts.3. ENZA Seeds: The second year of cooperation between ENZA Zaden and DAF Makwanpur will be continued in this year too. This comprises technical assistance by ENZA to 45 seed producing farmers of three selected agriculture cooperatives (Gogane Bajrabarahi and Namtar) . Crops selected for the Seeds are chilli (akabare kursani) beans and broad leaved mustard. 4. Organisation development: - improve income through quality services focussing on agri business - develop earning models - improve governance and financial management - linking and networking with input suppliers (potential business deals with input suppliers) and,- access to training and research funds (NUFFIC ESFIM). Improved marketing services to its members
