Evaluation of the Local Purchasing and School Canteen Pilot Project, Petite Rivière
Summary: An evaluation of a pilot linking school canteens to local purchasing in Petite Rivière, examining whether school feeding demand can be met from nearby producer associations.
Key Findings
- Profiles 29 producer associations, whose membership ranges from 21 to 1,000.
- Storage is a binding constraint: five associations use barrels and two have small silos, with capacity from 300 to 1,000 mamites.
- Only 14 of the 29 could produce a membership list, which bears on their capacity to contract.
