With this project, the organizations will get two database systems, the market/consumer research and distributed database. The research database system will allow them to generate and manage surveys to collect, disseminate, receive and collate data about producers and commodity organizations; track, compile and manage the collected data. The distributed database system will allow them to manage their operation functionality; collect data relevant for marketing purposes; connect to trade related websites, suppliers, credit insurer IT databases, lenders, potential/actual grain and commodity broker websites; and capture information useful to further development of the program in future.
