| YiPoCoMa_Income Measurement Tool_CARE Ghana | This is a guide that provides instructions and guidance to trainers who will be conducting “Yi-Po-Co-Ma training,” which is a training to facilitate small-scale farmers to understand
the following four basic business principles related to agriculture. “Yi” stands for Yield, and the “Yi session” aims at analyzing the practices to maximize the yield. “Po” stands for Post-harvest, and “Po session” encourages farmers to think of ways to reduce post-harvest loss. “Co” stands for Cost, and “Co session” is a training to calculate the production cost,
estimated revenue and the profit. “Ma” stands for Marketing, and “Ma session” encourages farmers to think from
buyers’ perspective and to think of ways to satisfy their customers. The four sessions together intend to provide farmers an opportunity to thoroughly analyze their own practices, better understand return on investment and come up with ways to improve their business in all four aspects. | |

security initiatives (such as
GRAD, LGP, AGP), and
various food security programs
