Description
Cooperatives offer a business model for Alaska seafood producers to open new markets, create locally controlled processing, and pool purchasing power. This book will help you decide whether a cooperative is the best path to follow for your small seafood business, and tells the step-by-step procedure to start a seafood cooperative. In addition, you will learn about managing a cooperative, federal taxation of cooperatives, and new generation cooperatives. The authors have expertise in private business, economic development, law, commercial fishing, natural resource development, and cooperative management.
