This manual, drafted as a result of a two-day international workshop on computerising agricultural cooperatives held at FAO headquarters in October 2003 , is intended to provide a reference for agricultural cooperatives considering computerisation, with the aim of ensuring that their first attempt to computerise will be a successful one. It is based on a review of computerisation experiences in Asia, Africa and South America.
