Plan to Cut Middlemens by Cooperative Marketing
A group of 50 farmers from Pennsylvania and New York are in New York City to launch a cooperative marketing plan. They claim to represent over 50,000 farmers and aim to sell produce directly to city retailers, bypassing middlemen. The venture would cut consumer prices by at least 40 percent and operate with a $1 million working capital, potentially raising funds by small member assessments. If successful in New York, similar markets could arise in other big cities and expand nationally.
