Like all eight (8) cooperatives under our (WAV) auspices are doing annually. This is the BANG-BEBU Cooperative in action. Members of the cooperative are gradually gathering their Shea kernel in their rented warehouse for this Shea season.
Our (WAV) cooperatives collectively sell their shea and farm commodities in bulk, gaining authority and negotiating leverage over buyers. This intentional action rewards them with competitive or standard prices for their farm commodities. It also gives them easy access to financial and technical support to build their capacities and gain business scalability and sustainability status.
As we (WAV) diligently serve as a market link between the cooperatives and the buyers, we ensure transparency and accountability before and after completed transactions.
