Fresh produce cooperatives

Fresh produce cooperatives are collective organizations where farmers pool their resources and share responsibilities to grow, process, and sell fruits and vegetables. By working together, they can access better markets, negotiate fairer prices, reduce costs, and ensure consistent quality. These cooperatives aim to support local farmers, increase their bargaining power, and provide consumers with fresh, locally-sourced produce. Essentially, they are collaborative efforts that benefit both farmers and consumers through shared ownership and mutual support.
