Linking farmers
We act as a link between farmers and other stakeholders in the sector, representing farmers' interests to companies that have a vested interest in cotton production. For example, we negotiate with out growers to regulate pre-planting prices based on seed cotton prices, input supply packages, and payment terms.
We are propents and lobby for Zambia becoming a member of ICAC quality parameters, and facilitate improved extension services to cotton farmers between out growers, MACO extension services, research insititutions, NGOs, CFU, donors, and others.
