Description:
This paper provides a detailed profile of traditional and new generation US agricultural cooperatives. Based on a recent, unique survey of the Chief Executive Officers and other key top management personnel we describe the major organizational, financial, and ownership characteristics of the top 100 US agricultural cooperatives in terms of operating revenues. The quantitative and qualitative data obtained through a mail survey is clustered into five types: (i) information on the property rights structure adopted, (ii) financial information on equity acquisition methods, equity redemption plans, R&D investment, and investment in intangible assets, (iii) organizational design information, (iv) information on members’ and Board of Directors’ behavior, and (v) information on top management behavior and perception of critical issues. We report both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results suggest that, unlike new generation cooperatives, traditional US agricultural cooperatives have adopted organizational structures that may constrain them in ameliorating their free rider, horizon, and portfolio problems.

Incentives to Efficient Investment Decisions in Agricultural CooperativesRecent studies have questioned the competitiveness of agricultural cooperatives in an industrialized food system, based on empirical results and economic theory. New organizational institutions have been proposed to overcome the cooperative main weaknesses (the so called new generation cooperatives). In this paper, we provide a simple model based on a financial approach to address the issue of cooperative competitiveness and to assess the investment efficiency of both traditional and new generation cooperatives. The main conclusions of the analysis are: i) cooperatives (both traditional and new generation ones) may have incentive to adopt projects that do not maximize the Net Present Value of the firm ii) the institutions of new generation cooperatives are not sufficient to ensure net present value maximization, even though they address some of the main concerns of traditional cooperatives iii) traditional cooperatives may have a competitive advantage in businesses that require the aggregation of a large number of farmers.
