• Are able to independently apply the 2-2- Trade approach.

2-2 Trade approach

The 2-2 Trade approach concentrates on business relations between farmers and firms and aims to improve these through a structured, yet flexible process. 2-2 Trade focusses on agreements and differences of perception between farmers and firms in a specific business relationship, surfacing the most important perceived strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. The 2-2 Trade approach and tools can be applied to any existing or emerging farmer-firm business relation that is of sufficient scale in terms of sourced volume or number of farmers involved, or is highly promising to develop into a sustained business relation. The 2-2 Trade approach is developed by AgriProFocus, Wageningen UR CDI and The Royal Tropical Institute (KIT).
