Gonzal, A. | Pongthanapanich, T. | Bueno, P.B.
This case study of the Binmaley Rural Improvement Club (BRIC) illustrates the process of building organized farmers’ capacity to access markets or create a market for, and actively participate in the value chain of their products. It describes the relations of the association with the value chain actors that have a direct role in their farming and processing enterprises and the agencies that have provided assistance. A lesson from the government’s provision of services is the importance of developing and delivering a support system that encourages farmers to organize and play a stronger role in the social and economic processes that impact on their livelihood, empowers and keeps them in business, and enables them to earn a justifiable reward. Recommendations to enable small farmers' effective participation in the value chain are derived and policy and technical support suggested to strengthen and empower small farmers’ organizations for effective and sustained participation in the value chain.
