Strengthen Horizontal and Vertical Linkages Sample Clauses

Strengthen Horizontal and Vertical Linkages. 3.1 Achievements during the Quarter A. Other vertical linkage examples include the grains value chain where the PRODEL anchor firm, Cereales Andinos and indigenous quinoa producers from Pijal in the Province of Imbabura formalized a commercial agreement during the 1st quarter of FY 2009. The anchor firm agreed to pay producer prices of a specific quality, while the producers committed to delivering their product to the company according to established parameters. Similarly, Inagrofa worked with traditionally wheat, barley and bean producers in the Pimampiro Municipality of Xxxxxx Province to harvest quinoa. According to locally gathered data, farming quinoa at an average yield of 40 quintals per hectare should double producer incomes.

In addition, due to its nutritional properties, Cereales Andinos is seeking a strategic partner in the dairy industry to offer consumers a product made with quinoa and yogurt. That partner could very well be one of the PRODEL dairy sector anchor firms. B. PRODEL anchor firm Jugo Facil has traditionally purchased its raw material from intermediaries that could not guarantee its quality resulting in significant quantities of rejected fruit. Xxxx Xxxxx did not have experience working directly with producers. As a result, the PRODEL program helped Jugo Facil through PRODEL technical field personnel to directly link to producers in communities like La Tola in Esmeraldas Province where a total of 24 farmers are participating to date. PRODEL assisted farmers to analyze the quality and volumes of their products and sign sales agreements with the anchor firm. Inter...

To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.
