MODULE 2b

Knowing what to avoid and what to promote from the beginning, is a very important asset to guarantee the credibility and confidence of those farmers who initiate a cooperative relationship.

Those who lead associative processes must always consider what aspects may hinder their progress.

The experience predisposes our attitude towards cooperative processes, but there are values that we must assume when we initiate processes of this type. Openness, honesty, equity, will, communication and tolerance should be the framework for action where cooperative relations are developed.

Although we develop this type of framework, it is always advisable to give this relationship a certain formality, for this you can consider developing a regulatory framework that reduces uncertainty and guarantees the assumption of responsibilities.

The capacity of the cooperative system to learn from its mistakes and its successes will guarantee an improvement in its decision making and finally its permanence over time.
