Business they want to focus on

 Coconut-Oil and Trading

Why:

  1. Availability -80% of the farmers have Coconut plants

  2. Nearby market- Bengaluru

  3. ODOP support – Coconut district

4.High shelf life (compared to veggies)

  1. Option for multiple products

Resources they need-

  1. Logistics-Transport and Storage ( they can manage)

  2. Working capital ( They can get this)

  3. Information-Members and Market (they can do up to a extent-Manually but not at the scale

  4. Human resource- They need LRPs ( Local resource persons to collect data and to communicate).

  5. Quality SoP for the business

 

They expect good price realisation , convenience and capacity to liquidate to improve of these resources are made available

Top things FPC wants to focus on

  1. Production – Advisories.

  2. Quality SoP

3.Communication -Availability on both the sides

  1. PoPs.

5, Build Trust among  farmers.

Top one thing they FPCs want to work on

COMMUNICATION

  1. Member registry.

  2. Continuous  update of the data.

  3. Quality shareholders

  4. Market Intelligence

These would lead to

  1. Increased members ( hypothesis can be well tested , as Chennapatna FPC has just 30 shareholders at the moment- And if we help them to reach 300, they would get equity grant from SFAC

  2. Diversify business

3.Increased turnover

4.Increased Trust ( connectivity)

  1. Transparency

 

Digital transactions

Few members have paid share capital through google pay ( to the account of BoDs) and most of them have share capital in cash.

The Veggies transactions-

Above Rs 5000/-, Cheques are given to the farmers and most of the transactions are through cash.

FPC wants to digitise the transactions and they are aware that cash transactions are cumbersome.

 

  • Some cash offers for digital transactions.

  • Cash discounts for inputs for digital purchases
