Marketing Federations

 ADF has provided assistance in organizing 9 marketing federations in the following sectors: vegetables; dairy/beef; fruit; honey; mushroom and pork sectors. These agricultural marketing federations are organized for associations of cooperatives to have a common approach to marketing, product branding and standardization. Specialized marketing federations serve as a vehicle to standardize processing for retail and wholesale markets and implement improved standards in product quality while reducing overall production costs.

The federation framework empoweres small- and mid-sized farmers, as well as the cooperatives to which they belong, to significantly improve their market position with higher volumes of quality products recognizable in the marketplace.
