Description: Tools to determine when collective marketing, aggregation,
        grading and bulk input procurement through farmer producer
        organisations (FPOs) and agricultural cooperatives improve
        member-farmer returns. The package provides channel-level
        transaction cost accounting (transport, commissions, market
        fees, time, rejection and payment-delay costs), estimation of
        scale economies from consolidated transport, tiered bulk input
        discounts and grading premiums, break-even throughput and
        procurement-price analysis, and comparison of individual and
        collective marketing scenarios. Its core is a member-level
        distributional accounting framework that separates the total
        surplus generated by an FPO from the benefits actually received
        by farmers through prices, transaction cost savings, input
        savings and dividends, and summarises their distribution across
        members with Gini and concentration indices and farm-size group
        shares.
