Thanks to the support of European Union funds under Measure 16 "Cooperation" of the Rural Development Program for 2014-2020 it will be possible to create a short supply chain. It is made up of six farmers who are part of the EkoGromada operational group. It will ensure the possibility of selling agricultural products produced by the members of the operating group that has been created. Achieving this goal will be influenced by the implementation of the material scope. The subsidy will be allocated to the purchase of a delivery vehicle, box-pallets and equipment ensuring the preparation of products for sale. The implementation of the project will ensure the possibility of joint sale for a period of at least 2 years from the final payment under the project. The subject of the operation is the purchase of fixed assets for the created operational group, which will allow to ensure a stable and sustainable food supply within the created short supply chain. The sale will have a positive impact on the producers included in the group (revenues will increase) and consumers - they will receive an offer at competitive prices, directly from the producer in the highest quality.

Applying for support for shortening supply chains is the result of market analyzes and the needs reported by local producers. The cooperation so far has not adopted formal rules, however, the possibility of financing development activities was a premise for identifying the most urgent investment needs and establishing more formal cooperation. All group members are involved in direct selling. Together, we will build brand recognition and our own distribution channels. We also hope to create a common cluster of local unprocessed products in the future with other groups, including informal ones. The possibility of cooperation and use of bonuses to create common and shorten individual supply chains, will increase the group's potential and provide its offer with a competitive advantage. Established cooperation, professionalism, the possibility of preparing many orders at the same time, will result in the fact that we will acquire regular customers. It will also allow you to achieve the assumed sales goals and indicators assigned to the project. So far, agricultural production has largely been directed to intermediaries. By using the potential of partners and appropriate preparation of products for sale, it will be possible to go beyond the local market with the offer. Sales to other voivodeships will enable the planned sales levels to be achieved and the acquisition of regular customers. Ultimately, it will also allow for making further development decisions. All members of the consortium will use the purchased material scope of the project to the full extent. The entire material scope will ensure the achievement of the basic goal for which the operational group was established, i.e. the creation of a supply chain. The elements planned in the material scope will enable sales in neighboring district and sales in voivodship cities (hence the means of transport). The possibility of obtaining a subsidy will eliminate the financial barrier. Committing the partners to cooperate will allow the use of the synergy effect - combining the potential of partners in the sale of products. Shortening the supply chain will eliminate middlemen and generate higher revenues. The ability to deliver directly to the recipient will significantly increase the number of customers. Cooperation within the group will allow to reduce delivery costs.
