Summary
The ‘Sloga Kranj’ agricultural and forestry cooperative used CAP funds to establish a group of potato producers and a group of vegetable and fruit producers. As part of this process, the cooperative provided training, undertook the promotion and marketing of the groups’ products, as well as organising the transport, collection and quality control of the produce.
Results
The project connected more than 1,700 farmers.
The producers cooperate with each other and can now meet the supply volume requirements of large retailers.
Two job positions were created, which resulted in an increase in sales and improved quality control.
