Over the years, Upland Marketing helped Pecuaria to develop better and more
attractive packaging, and it began to sell the rice under the Foundation’s brand.
The cooperative has also received advice on how to develop new products that
can target different types of consumers. In short, the partnership has allowed Pecuaria
to create attractive products and to effectively put them on the market. In addition to
providing marketing support, Upland Marketing Foundation helps cooperatives like
Pecuaria to deal with the problem of delayed payment by supermarkets. Producers
establish a clear commitment in terms of volumes to be supplied, and the foundation
makes frequent and regular payments to the cooperative.

Typically, supermarkets have fresh meat, fresh fruit, dairy, deli items, and baked
goods. Additionally, shelf space is reserved for canned and packaged goods and
various non-food items, such as cookware, household cleaners, pharmacy products,
and pet supplies. Some supermarkets also sell non-food items such as alcohol (where
authorized), medication, and apparel. In contrast, others sell a far broader selection of
non-food items such as DVDs, athletic equipment, board games, and seasonal items
(e.g., Christmas wrapping paper in December).It is not easy to sell to supermarkets.
Modern retailers have stringent quality standards and delivery requirements that are
difficult for smallholder farmers to achieve. Additionally, supermarkets do not pay their
suppliers promptly, delaying payments for weeks, if not months.
