Abstract:

Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2013<br>Agricultural cooperatives have been widely promoted as a vehicle for smallholder agricultural development in South Africa. As a result, agricultural co-operative registrations in South Africa are increasing. However, research suggests that South African co-operatives have generally not been effective, successful and functional. This study has investigated the challenges facing agricultural cooperatives in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. It is expected that identification of these elements may enable institutions that offer support to cooperati

Abstract:

Long term growth and sustainability of cooperatives has become the focus of many countries worldwide. Cooperatives have been seen as the platform for uplifting disadvantaged communities while improving standards of the poor in countries such as Canada, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria (Department of Trade and Industry, 2012). In South Africa, cooperatives are seen as playing a role in poverty eradication, equal distribution of wealth, employment creation, food security and as a contributor to the economic activity. The South African government have implemented policies aimed at improving the performan

Abstract:

Agricultural Cooperatives have been facing times of low financial risk in the previous years. However, this is expected to change in the near future and controlling for financial risk will become an increasing concern. A review of the risk balancing hypothesis literature shows that financial risk has not been fully defined by previous researchers. The objective of this research is to better define financial risk and analyze whether the academic literature or the lending industry has found ways to capture and measure financial risk.

Over and above the financial support, co-ops also receive non-financial support in the form of capacity development. Some of the co-ops received support in the form of inputs and farming equipment.

Smallholder agricultural cooperatives have potential to play a vital role in the Malawi economy where smallholder farmers comprise the majority of the agricultural producers. Smallholder farmers individually have little power in the market place but when organized into cooperatives they enjoy protection from exploitation. The formation of cooperatives among smallholder farmers has therefore been accelerated and they now account for more than 55% of all cooperatives in Malawi. However, studies have concluded that the performance of the smallholder agricultural cooperatives is poor, and this res

Abstract:

The knowledge of production costs represents an essential information for management in order to develop successful business strategies. In the case of cooperatives, these data are even more relevant as they allow the measurement of a company’s performance in relation to its very purpose, that is to say management’s ability to remunerate products conferred by partners more than their market value. In reality, however, cost accounting tools aimed at improving business competitiveness are scarce. This is mainly due to the high costs incurred for planning and managing such systems, the lack of

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa de mestrado teve o objetivo de analisar o modelo socialista de agricultura coletiva proposto pelo Movimento dos Sem-Terras (MST) por meio das cooperativas de produção agropecuárias (CPAs) e suas contradições. A idéia era compreender em que medida a coletivização do trabalho agrícola fortalece a luta pela resistência na terra. Com essa finalidade a pesquisa foi proposta aos cooperados da Copava (Cooperativa de Produção Agropecuária Vó Aparecida), fundada em 20 de novembro de 1993, na agrovila III do assentamento Pirituba, situada no município de Itaberá, sudoeste do Estado d

Abstract:

Agricultural cooperatives (ACs) are major players in the European Union, where they account for 40-60% of agricultural trade and thus are key actors in articulating rural realities and in shaping the sustainability credentials of European food and farming. Cooperatives, regardless of the sector they operate in, are expected to work for the benefit of their members, show concern for their communities (including sustainable development) and promote cooperative economies. This research analyses to what extent this is happening in the case of ACs. Evidence of how unsustainable and unequal farming

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa analisa as práticas de governança corporativa indicadas aos seguintes mecanismos de monitoramento: (a) o conselho fiscal; (b) a auditoria externa e (c) a auditoria interna. Buscou-se verificar quão próximas as cooperativas agropecuárias estão do que é indicado pelos códigos de melhores práticas de governança. Utiliza-se como fundamentação teórica a perspectiva da firma como um conjunto de contratos em um contexto no qual pode existir delegação de parte do poder de controle e decisão dos ativos. Assim, analisa-se teoricamente as motivações para a adoção de estruturas de gove

Abstract:

This is exploratory research that has examined the efficacy of agricultural marketing cooperatives in the UK as a mechanism to redress power imbalances when faced with highly consolidated downstream markets. This issue would appear to be of particular significance in the light of the continued UK government emphasis on the cooperative action as a means of supporting farm gate prices following the deregulation of European Markets. This research draws upon, and examines the possible linkages between two key bodies of literature, Power Dependency Theory and literature based on the issue of common
