The members of ABEPSA have created an innovative way to distribute harvests and earn money by individually selling crops at various markets around town. After all the crops have been sold, the member keeps a percentage of the profits for themselves and re-invests a percentage of the profits into the association. ABEPSA has also established a second income-generation activity, in which members raise and trade goats, sheep, and other domesticated animals.

The association uses these group profits to reinvest in their income generation projects and to subsidize association activities. For example, ABEPSA distributes surplus crops to members who need nutritional support during the quarter and identifies members who are in need of assistance with their medical costs.
