Case: Passion fruit from EthiopiaAn outgrower incubator approach based upon foreign investment • Five experienced Dutch entrepreneurs studied the potentials of Ethiopia and decided to invest almost €12 million in a new enterprise to buy, rehabilitate and expand an existing state-owned fruit farm in the Upper Awash region of Ethiopia. It is a new venture that has set targets to become a major producer and exporter of tropical fruit juices, purees and concentrates from select countries in Africa to the large markets of Europe and the Middle East. • An integral part of the project is the active promotion of an Outgrower Scheme, which will result in new producer cooperatives (in total approx. 1300 hectares) to become suppliers to the new processing plant, in effect giving the local farmers efficient access to export markets and much improved access to commercial financing

Case: Cooperative Banana Farmers in Peru • Banana farmers in Northern Peru organized in a cooperative take up pre-export processing and fair trade certification. Whereas historically they supplied large multinationals, they now do the quality control, washing, packaging and exports by themselves, thus almost doubling farm incomes. • CEPIBO is a Union of Small Producers of Organic Bananas in Northern Peru established in 2007. It represents 1500 small producers of bananas with an average of approximately one hectare each. It is responsible for marketing of organic products (both locally and exports) and it has the organizational and technological capacities that allow them to promote fair trade throughout the commercial chain and diversify the productive system in a sustainable manner.
