Streamline the federation in Sichuan All the members (93 cooperatives) are focusing on the production of primary agriculturalproducts. The federation has the following mission statement:To increase the value of the products of the members by providing expertise  trainingfacilities and relevant services in the road to the markets and subsequently increase the income of the farmers and horticulturalists. In short: making money for their members.

It seems that the Federation is moving into different areas of the value chain to achieve themission e.g. credit facilities  quality control  packaging  (cold) storage facilities  sales outlets (shops  schools)  marketing (see annex). The Federation is well established in relevant (political) networks and receives serious (financial) support to achieve its objectives. A concern is that the members only pay a limited entry fee. This may have an impact  in this phase of development of the Federation  on the commitment of the cooperatives. Jiangyou federation is a federation of 93 cooperatives with different crops. It's established in 2015  with support from the government. Goal of the federation is to do the storage  processing and marketing of the crops of the different cooperatives; they now can handle 60% of the crops. Goal is to sell all the products. They also provide loans by a credit bank and trainings. They are in need of organisational  financial  technical and marketing support.  1. follow up of implementing of strategic plan.
2. expanding of the SACCO capital and farmer service by cooperating with local financing organization.
3. improving the online marketing by realizing more net-profit the project this year plan to have three steps to achieve targets like setting up business plan  strength the Sacco's and build program for special groups.
the first step is to setting up long-term business plan for federation. Due to the large portfolio of members  it is difficult to combine the federation with every member Coop. Figure out what can the federation and Agriterra do to make a  motivate business plan is the key point of first mission. the Agripooler together with BA and Board members(maybe local officer) to have a workshop and visit to develop a 3-5 business plan for federation on what to do  what to build  where to focus and when to start and finish. then  we can mobilize member coop focus on different espects.once the business plan is finished  the federation can focus on build up strong Sacco's system. because all the activities need the financial support  the federation still rely on many subsidies from government. if we can provide more profitable services to members and guarantee safety by using standard saving and loan system  we can have strong sustainability for future development.After governance training  we need to arrange a follow up meeting for making sure the federation have realized the activities of governance  and improved the governance and management structure.   after all this missions and events  we can try to mobilize Youth activities among member Coops  due to the big portfolio  we can have more Youth candidates to participant in the mini workshop(not the training products) to have more insight on agriculture and cooperatives. they are having big potential to be future managements and board member.
