This Brief is one of a series developed under the All ACP Agricultural Commodities Programme (AAACP), which is funded by the European Union. The AAACP aims to improve the incomes and livelihoods of agricultural producers, and to reduce income vulnerability at the producer and macroeconomic levels. In the Pacific, the Programme is being implemented by the World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the International Trade Centre (ITC), with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community’s Land Resources Division (LRD) providing regional facilitation and representation.
To be effective, farmer groups must be well managed and adequately funded. Depending on the size, they may need dedicated staff with business and management skills.
