Client Profile:
The client is a co-operative with over a hundred members. Membership participation is proportional according to the financial and in-kind contributions of individual members, and it operates other businesses besides aquaculture. The farm itself, besides the main business of fish production, produces bananas, poultry and goats.
Tasks:
Currently the level of knowledge and experience at this enterprise is relatively basic. The task at hand was to bring the client up to a new level of efficiency through technological improvements. Due to the structure of the enterprise which is a co-operative, a much wider cross section of the community can leverage the benefits of assistance provided to a large number of economically impoverished people.
Results:
A new set of tools to achieve the co-operatives’ goals has been delivered to the enterprise, and if used well, will make a considerable difference to the economic profitability and productivity of the business. The community will benefit from a new food production system and improved nutrition.
