Title StatementMarketing of rice and onions by secondary cooperatives in Nueva Ecija
General NoteMunoz, Nueva Ecija: Central Luzon State University, 1998. 71 p
Summary, Etc.This study analyzed the marketing operations of three secondary coops and 15 traders engaged in onions and rice. For onions, KASAMNE is the only secondary coop existing in the province and for rice, FEPACOM and NEMCOOP. The federations provided vital services to its member-primary coops especially as fund conduits of loans from the Land Bank, as source of credit using federation's own funds, and an outlet of their produce. However, these associations could not operate efficiently as compared to the traders because of insufficient capital for product procurement, inadequate equipment and facilities, weak management capability, and poor patronage of its members. When prices were relatively good, the members preferred to sell to traders and just pay the loans to the association in cash. For KASAPNE, owner and manager of a cold storage, the marketing of the stored crops was still under the control of the primaries. Thus, the marketing operation depended largely on the primary coops while the federation only coordinated product marketing. For rice, even if the disposal of the stored crops rested on the federation, their operations were still inefficient since the volume handled was quite small. In conclusion, the traders controlled the marketing of rice and onions while the federations served as assemblers of these products and ultimately sold to the middlemen and as collectors of loan repayments and contributors of farm inputs. The federations declared that their problems include insufficiency of funds, stiff competition, inadequate market information and absence of established market outlets. The sample organizations are willing to engage in intercoop trading to improve their operations and marketing of their produce
