Agricultural Cooperatives provides an overview of the cooperative business model tailored specifically to the field of agriculture. The textbook begins by describing the historical and contemporary principles that underpin the cooperative business form, such as member control and equitable distribution of profits. It continues with a discussion of the various structures and functions of cooperatives in the agricultural sector, broaching aspects such as financial structure, member roles, and operational classifications. Additional chapters cover more advanced topics, including the economic justification for the formation of cooperatives, the contemporary legal environment surrounding these structures, and the complexities of managing a cooperative organization. Readers learn about cooperative board dynamics, profit distribution, capital structure management, and strategic market positioning for supply and marketing cooperatives. Taxation peculiarities unique to cooperatives are also addressed, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the financial aspects of cooperative enterprises. Agricultural Cooperatives is well suited for courses in agricultural business, cooperative economics, and agribusiness management. It provides students with a foundational resource exploring the strategic, financial, and managerial facets of agricultural cooperatives.
