Cooperatives Would Help to Reduce the Cost of Food
Nyamongo, Isaac K.
The current state of the economy creates the right condition for starting a food cooperative. The cost of food in recent months has been dictated by various factors which have converged to dictate higher prices, a cost that is passed on to consumers. The effects are all too clear.

Co-Ops, Social and Solidarity Economies a Boon to SDGs
Nyamongo, Isaac K.
A recent UN resolution, A/77/L.60, describes the social and solidarity economy (SSE) as “enterprises, organisations and other entities engaged in economic, social and environmental activities which serve the collective and/or general interest, based on the principles of voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, democratic and/or participatory governance, autonomy and independence and the primacy of people and social purpose over capital in the distribution and use of surpluses and/or profits”.

Cooperatives Can Provide Solution to Unwanted Ubiquitous Middleman
Nyamongo, Isaac K.
Recently, I stayed in a hotel in Kotrijk, Belgium, which served tea, coffee and chocolate sourced only from Fairtrade-certified farms. These products are so certified because, in their respective supply chains, Fairtrade ensure the farmers get fair returns from their labour by addressing the disparities in economic power through strengthening farmer cooperatives. It is one way to manage the disparity between the farm gate prizes offered by the ubiquitous middleman and market prizes.
