| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, the importance of marketing of the raisins has become important because of yield increase and export incentives. The grape growers that have been organized for raisins with the rate of 50% have not been able to organize effectively in the table grape marketing. Eighty seven percent of the growers have been selling their product to traders and brokers without any guarantee of payment. The growers of the table grapes have established an agricultural development cooperative (shortly named ALA-KOOP) with the aim of marketing their products in the center of Alaşehir county and surrounding villages in 2000. This cooperative could not be activated because of the lack of interest of their members. Meanwhile, with the increase of the grape export in the last decade in Alaşehir county, 42 companies have been founded and these companies take an important role in rural industry and development. It is observed that the cooperatives which have been founded with the aim of organizing the growers, are in need of professional management and financial support to make them successful. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information. | |
