Tusind tak til alle for et fantastisk kursus ved Kutabataba/Ipafu C - Thank you very much for a fantastic course at Kutabataba/Ipafu C
Vi nåede omkring at tale om, hvordan Business Generation Model Canvas kan bruges til at lægge en forretningsplan, når man går fra at sælge overskudsproduktion fra egen husholdning til at tænke landbrugsbedrift også som husmand. Vi fik talt om valg af kunder og kunderelationer samt ikke mindst om vidensdeling og samarbejde i lokalsamfundet i andelsgrupperne og kvindegrupperne. Business Generation Model Canvas blev koblet sammen med BCG Matrix og valg af markafgrøder, grønsager og husdyrhold, så den enkelte får valgt at producere netop det, hun eller han er bedst til samtidig med, at der er god afsætning. BCG Matrix´en blev desuden brugt sammen med en produkts livscyklus til at illustrere, hvordan en afgrødes profitabilitet kan forandre sig over tid. Undervejs havde vi en konstant fokus på først og fremmest at sikre familiens underhold samt bæredygtighed gennem anvendelse af kompost og rotation af afgrøder. Som noget nyt koblede vi Activity Based Costing (ABC) som gennemgående tema sammen med såplaner.
Efter kurset fik deltagerne en let frokost i form af en tærte og et glas sommerdrik, som blev delt, mens der ivrigt blev snakket og taget yderligere notater.
Thank you all for a fantastic course at Kutabataba/Ipafu C and not least to Felix Mpange, Nicodemus Mambwe and Felix Kalaba for translation and practical implementation. Without you, the courses would not be possible. Thank you to the approximately 160 actively participating and listening farmers, women and men, young and old. Finally, thank you to friends of the association who gave us donations so that we could conduct another course this year.
We managed to talk about how the Business Generation Model Canvas can be used to draw up a business plan when you go from selling surplus production from your own household to thinking about farming also as a business. We talked about choosing customers and customer relationships and not least about knowledge sharing and cooperation in the local community in the cooperative groups and women's groups. The Business Generation Model Canvas was linked with the BCG Matrix and the choice of field crops, vegetables and livestock, so that each individual can choose to produce exactly what she or he is best at while at the same time having a good market. The BCG Matrix was also used in conjunction with a product's life cycle to illustrate how a crop's profitability can change over time. Along the way, we had a constant focus on first and foremost ensuring family sustenance and sustainability through the use of compost and crop rotation. As something new, we linked Activity Based Costing (ABC) as a common theme with sowing plans.
After the course, the participants were given a light lunch in the form of a pie and a glass of soft drink, which was shared, while there was lively conversation and further notes were taken.
