A cooperative (also co-operative; often referred to as a co-op or coop) is defined by the International Co-operative Alliance's Statement on the Co-operative Identity as an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise. It is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit. A cooperative may also be defined as a business owned and controlled equally by the people who use its services or who work at it. Cooperative enterprises are the focus of study in the field of cooperative economics.

A. Large business corporations (like Con Agra) are taking over American farming and the family farm is going by the wayside. As more and more small farmers disappear and family farms are lost the higher the cost of food. Farm Co-ops were formed by local farmers to help pool the farming communities resources. As a group they could purchase their supplies in much greater volume and therefore get a lower price. By becoming a business they could get wholesale prices, sell to their own members at a lower rate. They were the early versions of Sam's, Costco, Fedco, etc. only they focused on gasoline for farm equipment, and various farming implements. As farmers, profits are almost nil. After taxes, feed, seed, fertilizer, vet services,… [cont.]

where can i get different case studies on agricultural cooperatives in the Philippines?
Q. net source?
Asked by jei p - Tue Jul 28 09:16:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are lots of case studies available at the libraries of the University of the Philippines Los Banos College of Agriculture. I suggest you seek assistance with the College of Agriculture -- don't go to the University Main Library. Your best bet is with the library within the college itself. There are also files on case studies at the Agronomy Library of the same College. Or you can try the library at the International Rice Research Institute (within UPLB as well). You can go to IRRI from the UPLB campus itself. Regards. --UPLB CA alumna--
