(ICS) Smallholder farmer group production
Smallholder farmer groups can represent a very complex structure, varying from several group members up to thousands of group members. According to organic and sustainability certification schemes, farmer groups have to set up an Internal Control System (ICS) that ensures compliance with general quality production criteria as well as organic quality criteria. Many smallholder farmer group management structures are not very efficient and have a high potential for improvement. Inefficient human resources management as well as inefficient training management are major risks in this context.
