STAPLE GOODS 26 WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 2025

August 7, 2024

To: All Staple Goods Coordinators
From: Anne Mu’min
Ridgely A. Mu’min

Our wheat fields and watermelon fields were taken over by Johnson Grass
and other weeds. Our wheat harvest was 10% of what was expected. We do not
have enough wheat left to plant and make flour for Staple Goods 26. We will plant
the wheat we have, which cannot be harvested until June of 2025. It takes about 2
months to let the wheat properly dry down before we can mill it into flour.
We set up the Staple Goods Project especially to move the flour. So, since
we will not have enough flour until September of 2025, we will not do SG26 until
then.
Furthermore, due to an increase in transportation cost and labor cost, we find
that we must institute the following:
1. Instead of 500 lbs per city, you must order 1,000 lbs (one thousand pounds)
2. If you go in with another city, we will only deal with coordinator from the
primary city. The shipment will be sent to that city and that coordinator will
receive the reimbursement. You all will have to work out the details.
3. You must have an alternate contact number of someone else that can reach
you in case the primary number does not work when the trucking company
calls.
Remember, we will not have Staple Goods 26 until September, 2025

Thank You

WHAT IS THE STAPLE GOODS PROJECT?

The Nation of Islam Ministry of Agriculture (NOIMOA), organized our efforts and in 2011 began the cooperative purchase and distribution of staple goods. Adopting the “Cooperative Corporation” philosophy, each local Ministry of Agriculture Staple Goods Coordinator works to service their respective area.

Some of the goals for this type of cooperative economic system includes: 1. Participants are learning the process of bulk purchasing and cross country distribution, 2. They are learning the inner workings of national production, manufacturing and distribution systems, 3. They are learning and practicing principles of cooperative economics, 4. Collective decision making, 5. Group investing and operational unity.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN SEPTEMBER 2025

Emergency Navy Beans Distribution SG18B

Nearly 200 thousand pounds distributed throughout our communities, during onset of Pandemic. Hear how. 

HOW DOES THE STAPLE GOODS PROJECT WORK?

The National Staple Goods Purchase Project currently takes place bi-annually with 80+ cities participating throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean. Cities are represented by Staple Goods City Coordinators. All participants from Massachusetts to Florida to California pay the same price for the products, which includes shipping costs to their respective cities.

For a city to participate, they must have a minimum total order of 1,000 lbs. Orders are collected by your City Coordinator who keeps each participant abreast of the process; when to collect your funds, and the delivery of your products when they arrive.

ALL ORDERS ARE PLACED THROUGH A STAPLE GOODS CITY COORDINATOR
