Alternatives to Improve Negotiation and Market Access Capabilities of Small-Scale Rural Entrepreneurs in Latin America
The workshop on “Alternatives to Improve Negotiation and Market Access Capabilities of Small-Scale Rural Entrepreneurs in Latin America” was held in Lima, Peru, 2001 as part of the "farm-agribusiness linkages" initiative of FAO, which concentrates on how to develop and reinforce equitable and efficient interactions between farmers and the agribusiness sector. Agribusiness can be defined as all market- and private business oriented entities involved in the production, storage, distribution, and processing of agro-based products, in the supply of production inputs, extension, administration and research. Strengthening farm-agribusiness linkages refers to improving farmers' ability to add value by switching from subsistence crops to marketable crops, by entering into processing activities, or by establishing raw material supply contracts with local or international processors and distributors. It is also about improving agribusiness firms’ access to timely and reliable supplies of the agricultural products they need, meeting the desired quality specifications.
