Abstract
This proposed research examines how access to market information relates to the bargaining power of coffee cooperatives in Burundi. It focuses on price transparency, buyer requirements, information timeliness, and knowledge of alternative sales channels. Cooperative member surveys and interviews with marketing officers will explore associations with negotiation practices and sales conditions. The study aims to identify information services and organizational arrangements that support more informed negotiations and strengthen cooperative marketing capabilities.
