Trustworthiness and respect implies fair dealing, greater transparency and the building of trust between fellow producers, members of producer organisations, input suppliers, buyers, consumers and other businesses along the value chain. This brings benefits to the business such as greater commitment among labour and staff, better information sharing, greater creativity and an improved reputation. Many of these factors affect the profitability of the individual enterprises and of the whole farm. Standards can be set by the farmer-entrepreneur within a framework of core values. These standards govern the relationship between the farm business and its stakeholders as well as the relationships within the farm business. Applying these values will help the business to distinguish itself from others and will build confidence among clients. To maintain and sustain the business, all areas of work in a farm business must be carried out according to the core values. In particular, when selling produce the seller should be honest with respect to weights and measures, ensuring the quality and safety of produce and complying with agreed contracts. Being attracted by the short-term benefits may lead a farmer to make untrustworthy decisions and actions to make a quick gain. But the entrepreneurial farmer realises that following short-term gains with untrustworthy practices will destroy his business in the long-term. The entrepreneurial farmer should try to sustain the business by making sure that all stakeholders benefit. Applying the core values in all business dealings is good business practice. |
