Research Report: Addressing the Needs, Opportunities and Challenges of Cooperatives and Collectively Owned Enterprises in the Poultry and Related Industries 2.9. Synthesis The above information has highlighted some of the key factors affecting the poultry industry and provided a snapshot of the performance of the industry. The poultry industry has shown consistent growth and from this perspective presents a good market for entry by cooperatives. Limiting factors include the increase in imports and the barriers to entry created by the dominance of the industry by large producers. There is a large amount of scope in support functions and along the value chain for cooperatives to enter. There are many support organisations in place that are able to provide financial assistance to cooperatives. Most cooperatives are, however, likely unaware of these opportunities. SEDA and the Developing Poultry Farmers Association (DPFO) are the primary organisations offering support specific to cooperatives in the poultry industry. Our study will investigate this support and provide SEDA with further information on how to support cooperatives more effectively. The next chapter provides a review of the legislation and policies which are pertinent to cooperatives in the poultry industry. 23 | P a g e U r b a n - E c o n : D e v e l o p m e n t E c o n o m i s t s
