How can small-scale producers improve their ability to compete in local and global markets and increase their influencing power? This book identifies collective action in the form of producer
organisations as a key strategy. It focuses on the role of development NGOs as donors, co-ordinators, and, especially, as facilitators of support activities.
Using ten case studies from around the world, the author highlights important lessons and key factors affecting producer organisations' success. The book provides practical step-by-step
guidance on how development organisations can help small-scale producers develop effective collective enterprises.
