As far as the typical partners for cooperative projects--smalltime farmers and fisherman--are concerned, learning new techniques can be often useless without the resources to purchase the necessary materials and equipment to implement them. As a result, after the handover of ATM operations is complete, many local farmers end up right back where they started.
至於一般合作對象的小農、漁夫在學得技術之後，往往也因為沒有財力購買物料設備，使得技術移交之後，輔導農戶又回到原點的也大有人在。
