Start Business AreasConsulting of Producing Organizations
Producer Organizations - abbreviated POs - are groups of fruit and vegetable farmers who aim to concentrate supply in order to strengthen the position of fruit and vegetable producers in the agri-food chain and to improve the competitiveness of production and marketing on the domestic and world market, by both controlling production costs and focusing more on the market.
The foundation of Producer Organizations and the application for the receipt of subsidies in line with the Common Market Organization (CMO) for these Organizations are complex activities that are sophisticated and need extensive know-how.
Aims
- successful foundation and recognition of Producer Organizations for fruit and vegetables.
- creation of Operational Programmes as well as of further grant applications (adaption of POs, Annual reports, etc.) and the receipt of subsidies.
