Building cooperatives sounds easier than it is. Some general recommendations are:
- Build trust – an on-going process
- Define clear goals – common aims, clear rules
- Have a clear timeline – go step by step
- Communicate clearly – among members, with customers – to maintain trust
- Have the same starting point: 100% organic seed as basic requirement for all members – same values, same attitude
- Gain legal advice for establishing a cooperative in your countr
