Zuway Horticulture Producers Cooperatives
[top]
Members:
50,
Year of
establishment:
Current
activities: They are given inputs and working capital from vegetable
traders of Addis Ababa, the merchants follows. In some cases the merchants
buy vegetable under the cost of production; they don’t have any legal
binding between the merchants and the association, by now unfortunately
they have signed an agreement with green star agro- processing industry
for supplying of 10,000 quintals of tomato, VOCA has started with them but
they found to be unsuccessful association
Future
plan of action: Influence the government to create enabling legal
ground for contractual agreement enforcement between producers and
merchants in one hand and between out growers and agro-industries,
tolerate the challenges of penetrating the vegetable of Addis.
Remark:
This association is under pressure of the vegetable merchants of Addis.
This is
because the producers unable to penetrate the Addis vegetable market
whatever the producers produce the price is dictated by the merchants
(Piazza vegetable store). The association members mostly suffer from
shortage of working capital and organizational unity to challenge the
pressure of the merchants.
