AECA Session 6
Summary
TLDRIn this session, we explore phase three of the Agro Enterprise (AE) approach, which focuses on testing and improving the AE plan. The three key steps include creating a supply forecast, conducting test marketing through initial product deliveries, and evaluating the AE plan for improvements. This phase is essential for ensuring business sustainability by managing risks and refining the plan based on real market interactions. Through cluster field monitoring and test deliveries, farmer groups can better prepare for scaling up and long-term success in collective marketing.

Q & A
What is the main focus of phase three of the Agro Enterprise approach?
-Phase three focuses on testing and improving the Agro Enterprise plan to ensure its success and business sustainability.
What are the three steps involved in phase three of the Agro Enterprise approach?
-The three steps are: 1) creation of the supply forecast, 2) validation of the Agro Enterprise plan through collective test marketing, and 3) evaluation and improvement of the Agro Enterprise plan.
What is the purpose of creating a supply forecast in step six?
-The supply forecast ensures that clusters meet their marketing targets outlined in the Agro Enterprise plan by monitoring the status of their crops or livestock.
Why is cluster field monitoring important in step six?

📊 Phase Three: Testing and Improving the Agro-Enterprise Plan
In this phase, the focus shifts to testing and refining the Agro-Enterprise (AE) plan. Phase three emphasizes the importance of this stage for ensuring the success and sustainability of the business. There are three key steps: 1) creating a supply forecast, 2) validating the AE plan through test marketing, and 3) evaluating and improving the plan. This phase allows farmers to align supply with demand, monitor risks such as weather or pests, and make adjustments based on actual market performance.
📦 Step 6: Creating the Supply Forecast
Step six revolves around creating a supply forecast, crucial for farmers to meet the marketing targets outlined in their AE plan. Clusters monitor crops or livestock to assess risks (e.g., excessive rain or pests) that could impact supply commitments. Based on this monitoring, they adjust their cluster supply plan to create an accurate product supply forecast. This forecast informs buyers about estimated supply, helping both farmers and buyers manage potential risks.
📦 Step 7: Test Marketing
Test marketing involves the initial product deliveries to buyers, as outlined in the AE plan's marketing component. It spans at least three sales transactions, which are assessed for necessary adjustments to the plan. This process includes preparation (reviewing the AE plan and confirming marketing arrangements), actual deliveries (testing the farmers' capacity and buyer relationships), and assessments after each delivery. The goal is to verify the AE plan and make improvements before scaling up further.
📊 Step 8: Evaluation and Improvement of the Agro-Enterprise Plan
After completing three test deliveries, the final step is evaluating and improving the AE plan. This evaluation helps farmer clusters determine if they are ready to expand or if they need to innovate. The goal is to continuously improve the plan and ensure the sustainability of product delivery through collective marketing. This step marks the completion of the eight-step IA process.
🎬 Recap and Pop Quiz
The video concludes with a brief recap of the eight steps in the clustering approach. It highlights key moments in the Agro-Enterprise plan's development and implementation, aiming to reinforce the learners' understanding. A pop quiz follows to assess their learning, ensuring they are ready to apply these concepts.

[Music]
welcome to session six we are now in the
last phase of the Ia phases and getting
closer to understanding all eight
steps while phase two of the approach
focused on formalizing cluster Supply
and finalizing the AE plan in phase
three we will be testing and improving
our plans are you ready to learn more
about
this for today's session we aim to help
you first describe the different steps
in AA phase 3 and second explain the
importance of AA phase
3 while the development of the Agro
Enterprise plan is exciting we will not
its value and Effectiveness until it is
implemented the third phase of AA is
what would guarantee success and
business
sustainability there are three steps in
this phase of the Ia
process these steps are the following
step six the creation of Supply
forecast step seven validation of Agro
Enterprise plan through Collective test
marketing
and step eight the evaluation and
Improvement of the Agro Enterprise
plan in Step six clusters work to create
their supply forecast to ensure that
they achieve their marketing targets
outlined in their Agro Enterprise
plan this process involves cluster field
monitoring cluster field monitoring is
the process of checking on the status of
cluster members crops or raised
livestock this is critical to determine
and manage possible risks to the
supply examples of possible risks are
too much rain or pest incidents as these
could negatively affect cluster Supply
commitments to the co-op for the
collective
marketing after field monitoring
clusters then work on adjusting their
cluster Supply plan
plans the adjusted cluster Supply plan
then becomes the product Supply
forecast with this forecast farmers can
inform their buyers about their
estimated Supply and renegotiate with
them as
needed this is important to both farmers
and buyers as having a product Supply
forecast allows them to manage the risks
involved in the business
once the Clusters consolidate their
products they are now ready for initial
delivery or test
marketing while referred to as test
marketing this step involves actual
product deliveries to the identified
buyers as indicated in the marketing
plan component of the Agro Enterprise
plan test marketing covers at least the
first three sales where every sale
transaction is tested or assessed for
corrective actions and adjustments to
the Agro Enterprise plan as
needed test marketing is critical as it
verifies the different components of the
Agro Enterprise
plan there are three stages in this
process preparation deliveries and
assessment the first stage is the
preparation this involves reviewing the
contents of the Agro Enterprise plan
creating and organizing business
documents and confirming delivery and
marketing arrangements with the
buyer the second stage involves the
actual
deliveries the cooperatives or farmer
groups should have at least three
deliveries to have a better
understanding of their
capacity their relationship to the buyer
and their potential of scaling
up these free deliveries usually take
place within one cropping
season and the last stage is the test
marketing assessment and this can be
done immediately after each test product
delivery the assessment helps determine
Readiness of farmer clusters to proceed
with succeeding deliveries and check if
there are adjustments to be made in the
next test product
delivery the last phase of the AA
involves the evaluation and Improvement
of the Agro Enterprise
plan after free deliveries the group can
now evaluate whether they are ready to
expand or make some
Innovations this step is critical to
ensure that farmer clusters improve
their plans and sustain the delivery of
products to the Market through
Collective
marketing we have finally completed all
the eight steps and we hope you
remembered it all to help refes your
