In India, small farmers too can produce for markets, and even contract with multinational companies. This is not easy, but our organisation has been able to facilitate this. We sell mango to Coca-Cola.
P. Chengal Reddy, Chairman of the Federation of Farmers' Associations Andrah Pradesh (FFA-AP) India

Il nous faut du temps pour organiser nos marchés internes, et pour ne pas être victimes des marchés mondiaux. Ensemble, agriculteurs du Sud et du Nord, nous devons faire comprendre ce message à nos gouvernements.

AgriCord's ambition, through the "Farmers Fighting Poverty" programme, is to reach the local farmers' level, genuinely involving women, and to stimulate economic initiatives at a local level.
Laurent Pellerin, president of AgriCord

There are different ways and strategies for farmers to get organised, and to set up the type of organisation that best serves their interests. We strongly believe that this should be a global discussion, involving farmers' organisations from developing countries and emerging economies, as well as those from OECD countries.
Elisabeth Gauffin, vice-President of LRF ( Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund), the Federation of Swedish Farmers

Our challenge is to create cooperatives and other farmer-led initiatives, and to learn from other organisations, in developing countries as well as in the North. We want to process our Kenyan coffea, and to import it into Europe without heavy tariffs

Alliance for Farmers Fighting Poverty is growing

Thursday, July 8, 2010

AgriCord now counts seven members and four associated members. A year ago AgriCord welcomed Finland, Spain and Italy as associated organisations and now also Portugal joined the club. The seven agri-agencies participating in AgriCord are:
-    Agriterra, the Netherlands
-    CSA, Belgium
-    UPA-DI, Canada
-    Fert, France
-    Afdi, France
-    SCC, Sweden
-    TRIAS, Belgium

All the organisations joined in AgriCord support "Farmers Fighting Poverty", with the conviction that only by working together farmers can break their isolation, enter the market place and pull themselves out of poverty. Farmers' own organisations can provide farm and business services, institutional access, confidence and voice to their poor members. For this reason, AgriCord works to build stronger farmers' organisations together with its fellow farmers in the rural areas of developing countries.
