Co-op member Pont-du-Château (France) |
“Choosing to work with the Co-operative is an expression of reciprocal trust between the members and their Co-operative. The model developed by Limagrain in Auvergne is somewhat unique because of the regional importance of the chains built up and the role of the members in the life and decisions of the Co-operative. Campaign after campaign, our production chains help us to smooth over price variations and guarantee average revenue at a fair level. Unlike a situation where there is no contractual link, as soon as we sow we know that we are going to get decent compensation for our work. It is a kind of insurance that is based on the long term. When you participate in this approach it also means you are individually involved in the Co-operative to support its development.” |
