Key activities included the development of a data base, the development of a community-owned professionally managed system of management, a public relations strategy, an agribusiness development group and the holding of an exhibition/seminar. The implementation of these activities have led to the establishment of an effective business-oriented management system for a community-owned processing plant at Watro in Ghana, with a resultant increase in it’s credibility, rate of attraction of support, increase in processing activities and income generation capacity.
