Abstract

Cooperative management mentioned low commodity prices, the agricultural economy, operational issues, and increasing costs as the major problems facing their cooperatives over the past year and that they will continue to face in the near future. These were some of the findings from two questions included in the 2000 survey of farmer cooperatives. Problems identified by cooperative management were classified into 17 problem sets. The responses were analyzed for both the past year and the near future (next 1-2 years) for all cooperatives, by type and size, and by region of the country.
