Business of Fish Course: Starting a Seafood Cooperative
February 10, 2009, 12:00 – 1:50 pm
While agriculture cooperatives are major players in the US agriculture industry, the same is not true in the wild capture seafood industry. Following the format of the Alaska Sea Grant publication, Developing Cooperatives for the Alaska Seafood Industry, the authors guide participants through the basics of a cooperative, successes in the seafood industry and agricultural sector, reasons for failure, pros and cons of cooperatives over other organizational structures, and cooperative management tips and techniques.
