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.
