EIP Practice Abstract Format:
Short summary for practitioners in English on the (final or expected) outcomes (1000-1500 characters, word count – no spaces).This summary should be as interesting as possible for farmers/end-users, using a direct and easy understandable language and pointing out entrepreneurial elements which are particularly relevant for practitioners. Research oriented aspects which do not help the understanding of the practice itself should be avoided.

Short description of the ‘Good Practice’:
Direct purchase groups are based on consumer-producer cooperation model. Volumes are just enough for small farmers to be involved in such SFSCs as it is financially viable to deliver these amounts. This attitude allows to maintain healthy and often organic product in good price. Consumers then redistribute products by working on group’s duty – usually it takes no more than 4 hours every two months per member. So no big amount of time is needed.

This model is tailored to meet specific needs of customers as they communicate what exactly they need individually and as a group. Customers choose this model because they can control food quality and establish steady supply of organic food close to their home.

Main results/outcomes of the activity (expected or final): Engaged are customers who value organic food and relationship with farmers. Delivery channels are direct – from farmers to customers upon agreement. Value is communicated by each farmer to the group, and group can make decision whether or not to take such offer collectively. Customer relationships are managed by group representative who communicates about every issue with suppliers and manages expansion of the group.

Tiešo pirkumu grupas ir balstītas uz patērētāja un ražotāja sadarbības modeli. Apjomi ir tikai pietiekami, lai mazie lauksaimnieki varētu iesaistīties šādās SFSC, jo ir finansiāli izdevīgi piegādāt šīs summas. Šī attieksme ļauj uzturēt veselīgu un bieži vien bioloģisku produktu par labu cenu. Pēc tam patērētāji pārdala produktus, strādājot pie grupas pienākumiem – parasti tas prasa ne vairāk kā 4 stundas ik pēc diviem mēnešiem vienam loceklim. Tāpēc nav vajadzīgs daudz laika.

Šis modelis ir pielāgots klientu īpašajām vajadzībām, jo ​​viņi individuāli un kā grupa sazinās ar to, kas viņiem tieši nepieciešams. Klienti izvēlas šo modeli, jo viņi var kontrolēt pārtikas kvalitāti un nodrošināt vienmērīgu bioloģiskās pārtikas piegādi tuvu savām mājām. “
Lesaistīti ir klienti, kuri novērtē bioloģisko pārtiku un attiecības ar lauksaimniekiem. Piegādes kanāli ir tieši – no lauksaimniekiem līdz klientiem pēc vienošanās. Katrs lauksaimnieks vērtību paziņo grupai, un grupa var pieņemt lēmumu, vai kopīgi izmantot šādu piedāvājumu. Attiecības ar klientiem vada grupas pārstāvis, kurš par katru jautājumu sazinās ar piegādātājiem un vada grupas paplašināšanu.

Pearls, Puzzles, Proposals? Pearls: Solution involves coalitions of customers, apart from food there are some social benefits Puzzles: no need to for infrastructure other than delivery transportation. For customer groups some kind of premises are needed to warehouse products. Proposals: Over last ten years this model has become more popular in Latvia, however, it is still not widespread. This SFSC can be used as additional distribution channel for farmers. Social campaigns and trainings on establishment of such groups may increase their number in the future
