 * || ** No. of votes **  ||  ** Reasons **  ||
 * Fully Agree ||  1  ||  Principles of group formation underpin both organizations even if actors may be different.  ||
 * Partially agree ||  1  ||  Both are based on the principle of collective action, but context may be different.  ||
 * Neutral ||  0  ||   ||
 * Partially disagree ||  6  ||  Both address the same challenges and aim to improve farmers’ welfare. But a farmer group may cater for all farmers at individual level.  ||
 * Fully disagree ||  13  ||  An IP is a multi-stakeholder platform that draws on the participation of all value chain actors in dealing with a wide range of issues that might be constraining the performance of a value chain. But a farmer group is a homogeneous grouping of farmers, with the goal of solving farmers’ production and marketing constraints.  ||
