MICROLEASING and distribution
The microcredit is only an instrument that
should be included in a network founded on the
microentrepreneurship, assisted by the necessary
technical interventions aimed to allow the identification
of the instruments able to activate the autonomous
micro productive process at the individual level,
but also an associative process of subcontinental
dimensions. Besides the necessary for the personal
and local direct consume, the result of the
microentrepreneurship is to be distributed in
one of the forms used on the global market -
fresh, refrigerated, transformed and dry - at
the market value attained in the primary sector.
Where such thing is possible, an entire distributive
network is to be created, fortified with adequate
conservation and presentation systems, able
to support the reaching of the final market
at prices that allow the satisfaction of the
main needs (locomotion, food, clothes, accommodation)
of the people, at any level of the revenue encountered
in the different geographical areas. Obviously,
the access to the global market is not identical
with the access to the herbal local market,
and therefore the product originated in the
primary sector, as well as the one from the
handicrafts sector - that is almost always derived
from the primary one - needs not only a generic
"look", but especially the necessary
and adequate quality certifications that individualise
and guarantee its biological origin, the absence
or the presence of GMO (Genetically Modified
Organisms), its characteristics of conservation
in time, the degree of satisfaction at the nutritional
needs level, the consequent effects on the health
condition, the hygienic and sanitary circumstances
that make the product comestible, the social
and ethical context within which it is produced
and the contribution of the various structures
to its fabrication.
Naturally, the entire distributive network
must also be certified and adequate in terms
of economy, capacity and velocity - given the
fact that one of the reasons that led to the
loss of strategic importance of the USSR was
the impossibility to transport Georgian lemons
and aubergines within the rest of the Union,
because of the inefficient transportation means
and the lacking refrigeration network.
The solitude
The real problem of the different areas in
which the new proximity manifests itself is
the guilty ignorance of the other, which generally
characterises the countries and the people of
the region, especially the various intellectual
areas, while, in order to find a way of growing
together in the context of the necessary and
inevitable living together, it is essential
to find those unity in diversity reasons that
represent the real added value of the area.
The things that lead to a certain reciprocal
violence in the sense are the lack of knowledge
and the mutual lack of communication. Therefore,
it is crucial to help people to overcome such
condition through the perception of the fact
that they are part of the same dimension of
a new total poverty and that such situation
may be surmounted only if they grow together,
within the framework of a juridical system and
within a Latin structure of the proximity -
that is to be built in a more unitary way than
ever imagined, given the common Justinian origins,
that were unfortunately reconsidered only in
a unilateral way during the colonial period.
Then, it is easy for everyone to see that the
time concept in the capitalistic world is different
from the one in the rural world or in the various
suburbs of the Mediterranean cities.
machines and technical assistance
The problem is not always a financial one.
Some local communities may have autonomous financial
resources, but lacking the necessary technical
assistance in order to see themselves as parts
of the same kind of society, on one side or
the other of the Mediterranean Sea. As a matter
of fact, the people coming on the "hope
boats" to the frontiers of Melilla are
rarely the poorest of the world. They are often
people that have their own economic means, imagination,
willing to take chances and with a certain capacity
of organising themselves in order to enter that
social European dimension from which they presently
feel excluded. Therefore, the problem to be
faced is the start of an "in loco"
dialogue - on equal and tangible basis - with
those people that do not have the means to go
away or simply intend to stay, a dialogue supported
by an offer consisting in the opportunities
looked for by others in the so called "journey
of hope". In order to accomplish such goal,
it is necessary to create a network of technical
assistance, based on the microfinance and microcredit,
with the essential role of explaining how the
private initiative begins to materialise, in
synergy with other similar and contextual initiatives,
and how all these should grow together in order
to create the productivity system of the Mediterranean
area. Such network of technical assistance should
also help the private initiative in its materialisation
phase and support it during the creation of
the distributive system. The operative framework
is to be created by the will of the producers
of agricultural machines and mills for products
processing to be the first to activate the concept
of participative leasing, including the use
of the applicable national instruments for exports'
support. In order to do so, new suitable subjects
have to be trained - educated in universities
- subjects that are truly capable of transmitting
contents and ways to do things, truly able to
be the animators and assistants of the participative
self- entrepreneurship process, to become themselves
shareholders within such process and therefore
to actually be social and financial participants
to the outcomes, as all the other production
actors.
