Abstract

This research evaluates opportunities for farmer cooperatives to expand international trade through multicooperative and multicommodity arrangements. Nine component functions of the export process are discussed, including procurement, processing, physical distribution, market information, sales, finance, documentation, risk management, and regulation. Coordination in finance and regulation functions can be achieved across a broad commodity range. For other functions, coordination may be maximized within two commodity groups: bulk undifferentiated commodities and perishable, or differentiated, products. Six organization alternatives were evaluated, the most promising being export management cooperatives, federated export cooperatives, joint ventures, and Webb-Pomerene associations. Less promising arrangements are trade information services and cooperative brokerage organizations.
