Abstract

This paper describes a case study in which a zero one mixed integer linear programming model was formulated and used to analyze marketing costs of coffee marketed by Kagera Co-operative Union. The solution of the model indicated a potential decrease of about 18% in the marketing costs. It is hoped that the model can be applied to other crops.
