Small farms cooperatives, each on volunteering basis, (work on a basis of an) expectation of same services in return. As such these have little impact on their income because whatever services they get free – they also work in return free for them.
The most important problems faced by small farms is lack of funds to invest in their farm. Pesticides consume a big amount among other items of cost of production. Due to lack of funds small farms are forced to buy pesticides on credit.
