steps
Field visit:
1. Prior to field visit, facilitators conduct initial interviews with some market intermediaries
(e.g., households, neighbors, village collectors, traders, wholesalers, etc.) to understand market
competitions for organic vegetable products.
2. Present initial results of observations or data gathered to participants. Brainstorm in a big
group to agree on what data to collect and observe or what questions to ask during interview
with farmers on:
5 Main problems and reasons for problems in marketing organic vegetable products;
5 Secondary problems and reasons or problems in marketing organic vegetable products; and
5 Tertiary problems and reasons or problems in marketing organic vegetable products.
3. Participants conduct field visit in small groups to some market intermediaries (e.g., households,
neighbors, village collectors, traders, wholesalers, etc.) to understand marketing problem tree
for organic vegetable products.
4. Go back to the session hall, consolidate outputs of field visit in small groups, and report it to
the big group.
