Market –area for Unguana: There is no market in the Unguana area and people only sit next to the street to sell their product. The vendors asked Agriservi to get involved and assist them to build a proper market area. The area for this purpose has already been identified and all vendors are willing to pay on a monthly basis for their space in the market area. Their main concern is safety

as they are sitting right next to the main road at this stage. It is also not possible to use any form of protection against the sun and the rain. All vendors are women. The total cost for the project is estimated at R160 000 or USD12800. Agriservi wants to use this opportunity to register a Company who will own and manage the market. We want to divide the cost into 80 shares of R2000 or

USD 160.  Some of the shares will be taken up by business people from the area. Agriservi wants to assist, at least, 30 semi-commercial farmers to buy some of the available shares. We want them to raise 50 % of the money for a share and then subsidies them with the other 50 %.  The cost to assist 30 farmers, will be R30 000 or USD 2400. This project will have 2 huge purposes. Firstly, it will strengthen

the income of the semi-commercial farmers and secondly, it will become a new benchmark in cooperation between neighboring farmers and teach them the power of cooperative systems. A mind shift will take place when it comes to the importance of marketing. It will also give Agriservi a proper base from where they can work to strengthen the markets for products that are produced in the Unguana area.
