Cooperative Feasibility Studies

  • Guide to the Feasibility Study Process (PDF)

    This guide has been designed to assist agricultural cooperatives in completing a feasibility study. Rather than being a complete handbook, this publication presents the important elements to consider when conducting a feasibility study: Whether or not a group should conduct a feasibility study, the steps involved, how to evaluate a study, how to implement one once completed and tips on selecting and working with consultants.
