This self study manual was published by ILO as a MATCOM Learning Element in 1985. It explains in detail the operations of a cooperative that wishes to run an effective service supplying inputs to its members. Topics which are covered in the lessons include all the stages from deciding what and when to order, choosing suppliers, receiving goods, pricing and selling procedures, advertising and stock control.
The lessons contain very practical advice and examples of calculations and appropriate forms that can be used to implement the procedures, e.g. sales notes, bin cards, order forms. Implementing these lessons will help to ensure that farmers groups and cooperatives can play an effective role in the supply chain by providing inputs to their members in a sustainable and business-like manner.
