A case study making up part of the FAO project under the EU AAACP program

Farmer organisations and the market in Melanesia—January 2012

This study and report was supported by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) through the EU funded AAACP program. The objective of the program is to improve the livelihoods of producers in commodity dependent ACP countries. The focus of the FAO component was to enhance the capacity of farmers organizations to participate effectively in rapidly changing markets and provide quality services to their members. KGA receives core funding from AusAID and this supported the time of the KGA staff who carried out the value chain study.
