Cooperative-Driven Market & Product Development
Atoll Harvest project is focused on enabling cooperatives to produce and sell products sustainably through the development of new markets and the enhancement of existing ones. This phase aims to empower cooperatives by providing them with the tools, resources, and support needed to effectively market their products, thereby improving their economic viability and sustainability. By fostering cooperative-driven market and product development, the project seeks to create robust local economies, enhance food security, and promote sustainable agricultural, aquaculture, and livestock practices. This activity involves several critical steps, including developing product branding and packaging, integrating cooperatives into marketplaces, supporting the sales of aquaculture, mariculture, livestock, and coconut products, and expanding marketplaces or harbor exchanges driven by cooperative networks. Each step is designed to address specific challenges and opportunities in market development, ensuring that cooperatives can successfully navigate the complexities of the market and achieve long-term success. By the end of this phase, the project aims to have established strong market channels for cooperative products, thereby enhancing the economic resilience and sustainability of the community.
