Opportunity BasketBulk Cooperative Purchasing Network for Essential Goods
A membership-based cooperative that aggregates demand from neighborhood groups (10–50 households each) to negotiate direct bulk purchases from wholesalers and manufacturers of staples (rice, beans, cooking oil, salt, flour, palm oil). Members pay a small monthly fee; the cooperative handles logistics, quality verification, and last-mile distribution via local coordinators. Prices are 25–40% below retail because middlemen are removed.
