Cleaning and sorting of the potatoes by the Bajrabarahi cooperative in the Makwanpur region in Nepal.
As an Agriterra agripool consultant I conducted a value chain analysis at the Bajrabarahi cooperative in Nepal. Amongst other things we advised the cooperative to start to clean and sort the potatoes themselves before selling them directly to the market in Kathmandu. Doing so they added an extra value to their product, hence farmers of the cooperative profited directly.
