This research evaluates the effect the industrial revolution era 4.0 has had on the performance and sustainability of coffee farmer cooperatives, especially in the West Java region, considering that West Java is a coffee center area that is starting to be taken into account in Indonesia and the world in general, this is evidenced by the increasing number of farmer cooperatives coffee in the West Java region. One of the most monumental effects of the industrial revolution 1.0 was the birth of the British cooperative in Rochdale, the world’s first modern cooperative. The industry continues to develop, cooperatives continue to adapt and try to continue to develop in accordance with technological advances, especially now that the industrial revolution 4.0 has entered, which emphasizes information technology, especially the use of the internet. However, there has been no previous research examining the use of information technology in coffee farmer cooperatives, especially in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, even though this information technology is very important in the development of cooperatives today. Quantitative descriptive method with SEM analysis was used to identify the effect of cooperative capability on the performance and sustainability of cooperatives in several coffee cooperatives in West Java. The study’s results found that the power of the cooperative did not significantly affect the performance of the Coffee Cooperative. Still, the capability of the cooperative had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of the Coffee Cooperative. At the same time, the performance of the cooperative had a positive and significant impact on the sustainability of the coffee cooperative. The ability of cooperatives has a positive and significant effect on sustainability mediated by the performance of the Coffee Cooperative in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study recommends increasing the capabilities of cooperatives in membership, management, and business models to become sustainable cooperatives based on information technology to achieve added value from market-driven coffee products. The results of the study show that the respondents perceive that the cooperative’s performance has a positive effect on their sustainability. Improving the performance of cooperatives in terms of (1) productivity, (2) effectiveness, (3) quality, and (4) achievement can be regarded as having a direct impact on the Coffee Cooperative’s long-term viability. The industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is facing demographic challenges (ageing), so intelligent technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and augmented reality are strategic choices. The application of information technology has a direct or indirect positive impact on Indonesia’s agricultural sector. Cooperatives in coffee agribusiness is also increasingly needed to respond to market demand by applying Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

The industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is faced with demographic challenges (ageing), so intelligent technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and augmented reality are strategic choices. The application of information technology has a direct or indirect impact on Indonesia's agricultural sector, so coffee agribusiness cooperatives' information and communication technology (ICT) is also increasingly needed to respond to market demand. Along with the development of automation, physical, cyber systems and IoT, coffee cooperatives need to be ready and adapt to the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 in capturing market demand opportunities, value chains, and the added value of coffee agribusiness. ICT's presence can improve the performance and institutional sustainability of coffee farmers in rural areas, including cooperatives. Performance is a description of the achievement of organizational tasks to realize the goals, objectives, mission and vision of the organization and its business. The performance of the cooperative describes the services provided to its members and the community/farmers as measured by using indicators to see the working mechanism of the organization and its business that has been carried out and to determine the achievement of the objectives obtained. Meanwhile, the ability to innovate is essential, especially the use of ICT, which is deemed necessary to support the performance and sustainability of coffee cooperatives, so that cooperatives can compete, be stable, or survive in the era of increasing free competition. . Quantitative descriptive method with Linear Regression analysis was used to identify the effect of cooperative capability on the performance and sustainability of cooperatives in several coffee cooperatives in West Java. The study's results found that the power of the cooperative did not significantly affect the performance of the Coffee Cooperative. Still, the capability of the cooperative had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of the Coffee Cooperative. At the same time, the performance of the cooperative has a positive and significant impact on the sustainability of the coffee cooperative. The ability of cooperatives has a positive and significant effect on sustainability mediated by the performance of the Coffee Cooperative in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study recommends increasing the capabilities of cooperatives in membership, management, and business models to become sustainable cooperatives based on information technology to achieve added value from market-driven coffee products.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSupported by policy-makers and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), coffee farmer organizations obtain organic and Fairtrade certifications to upgrade their coffee and, thus, increase returns to their members. Whether this and other upgrading strategies fit into the business model of the cooperative and lead to success are often not considered. This research aims to identify similarities and differences between conventional and certified cooperatives and the resultant impact on farmers' incomes. We analyze the business models, upgrading strategies, and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of seven conventional, organic and Organic-Fairtrade certified coffee cooperatives and link these to members' coffee gross margins. We use data from over 100 in-depth qualitative interviews and a household survey of 327 cooperative members in northern Nicaragua. Results indicate that cooperatives often apply the same upgrading strategies despite very different business models and SWOT. There are also many commonalities of SWOT among cooperatives but no clear-cut differences between conventional, organic and Organic-Fairtrade certified cooperatives. The qualitative comparison of coffee gross margins among the cooperatives shows no clear income effect from participating in certified coffee production and certified cooperatives. It indicates, rather, dependence of gross margins on yield levels, the business model and upgrading strategies of the cooperatives. Upgrading through certification seems only successful with a suitable business model and other upgrading strategies. Policies should focus on (i) increasing as well as stabilizing coffee yields, and (ii) on the institutional framework of cooperatives by offering strategic support, credit access, external auditing of cooperatives and the establishment of a functional national coffee institute.

Full textAbstract:
Smallholder farmers’ participation in agricultural cooperatives is often promoted as a promising strategy for overcoming market imperfections and to increase farmers’ productivity and income. In recognition of this potential, in recent years, Ethiopia has shown renewed interest in promoting cooperatives. However, there is lack of empirical evidence of the impact that cooperatives have on farmers’ performance in Ethiopia. Using a matching technique, we evaluate the impact of coffee cooperatives on the performance of their member households in terms of income and coffee production. We use data from coffee farmers in south-west Ethiopia. The overall results suggest that members of cooperatives are not faring much better than non-members. The treatment effects we measured were not statistically significant from zero. Yet, the aggregate figures mask differences between cooperatives and amongst individual cooperative members. Average treatment effects on members differ between cooperatives, in general older members, those who have benefitted from more education and those with larger coffee plantations seem to benefit more from membership. Our analysis sheds light on the heterogeneity in the impact that membership of a cooperative can have: this differs by cooperative and by members within cooperatives, a finding that has important policy implications.

Full textAbstract:
Coffee is an important global agricultural commodity. Jambi Province only has one special Arabica coffee production center in Kerinci Regency. Cooperatives are very important in supporting the economy of small farmers as collectors of farmers' coffee harvests. However, there are various challenges, especially in developing marketing areas so that cooperatives can continue to operate. The aim of this research is to create a marketing strategy for Arabica specialty coffee cooperatives. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with cooperative leaders, using purposive sampling for a case study of the Alam Kerinci cooperative, which is the largest specialized Arabica cooperative in Kerinci district, Indonesia. This research applies the 4P marketing mix theory and SWOT analysis to examine the problems raised and develop strategies for developing cooperative marketing in the future. Evidence shows that cooperatives have implemented marketing mix strategies effectively. SWOT calculations, IFAS analysis (X = 0.95), and EFAS (Y = 0.53) show that the cooperative is in quadrant I which is a very profitable position for implementing growth-oriented strategies to support the development and expansion of aggressive cooperative marketing. . This study shows that cooperatives have the potential to expand marketing, as shown by SWOT analysis and quadrant identification.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Most coffee in Ethiopia is produced by smallholder farmers who face a daily struggle to get sufficient income but also to feed their families. At the same time, many smallholder coffee producers are members of cooperatives. Yet, literature has paid little attention to the effect of cooperatives on combating food insecurity among cash crop producers including coffee farmers. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate how coffee cooperative membership may affect food security among coffee farm households in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: The study used cross-sectional household data on income, expenditure on food, staple food production (maize and teff), and utilization of improved inputs (fertilizer and improved seed) collected from 256 randomly selected farm households (132 cooperative members and 124 nonmembers) and applied an inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimation to assess the impact of cooperative membership on food security. Results: The result revealed that cooperative membership has a positive and significant effect on staple food production (maize and teff) and facilitated technological transformation via increased utilization of fertilizer and improved seeds. Nonetheless, the effect on food expenditure and income could not be confirmed. Conclusion: Findings suggest a trade-off between coffee marketing and input supply functions of the cooperatives, impairing their true food security impact from the pooled income and production effect.

Full textAbstract:
Coffee plays an important role as an Indonesian agricultural plantation commodity. Although Arabica coffee, which has a higher selling price on the international market than other coffee types, is a crucial source of income for small farmers, the production and quality of Indonesian coffee are very low, which affects the farmers’ income. Agricultural cooperatives can boost the welfare of members and society in general. However, despite the potential benefits of such cooperatives, many small farmers remain sceptical and are reluctant to become members. Within this context, our study aimed to quantitatively examine and compare the challenges, costs, and profitability of agricultural cooperatives using the Kerinci Regency in Indonesia as a case study. We used data obtained through a direct economic survey of 102 randomly selected farmers. Our results indicated that net profit differed significantly between cooperative and non-cooperative farmers and that hired labor represented the most variable costs for all farmers. Our novel findings highlight the financial benefits of agricultural cooperatives for small farmers.

Coffee production in Kenya has plummeted, hurting the economy and worsening social inequality and poverty. Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative associations have failed to boost exports. Coffee is Kenya's main cash crop. Coffee is the country's principal foreign exchange earner, rural employment source, food security source, and revenue source. The reduction in coffee export earnings shows that coffee marketing cooperatives are inefficient and less flexible. This study examines how shared vision affects organizational ambidexterity. This transformational leadership-based study used exploratory and cross-sectional survey methodologies. The target audience was Kenyan coffee marketing cooperatives. The sample size was 242 Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative societies. A self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire collected primary data from cooperative society managers. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show that shared vision favorably impacts organizational ambidexterity (R = 0.547, R2 = 0.299), explaining 29.9% of variation. Further, shared vision significantly affected organizational ambidexterity (P-value = 0.00). The study found that shared vision affected organizational ambidexterity. Thus, managers of coffee marketing cooperative societies should constantly discuss their vision with other employees to improve ambidexterity.

Indonesia has several Arabica coffee varieties that are well known in the domestic and world markets. However, marketing challenges exist for the domestic market and few cooperatives are able to export. Arabica Coffee Kerinci, a cooperative that exports, is an exception; nevertheless, marketing challenges persist for this cooperative too. Our objectives are to examine a case study of a successful cooperative that focuses on the export market and to clarify the challenges remaining for Arabica coffee marketing. Descriptive statistics were employed to capture the complexities of these marketing challenges. Semi-structured interviews using simple random sampling were conducted with the cooperative’s leader and with 51 farmers. We find that the fundamental challenges are quality inconsistency, price fluctuations, lengthy and bureaucratic export administration, absence of bank loans, and lack of government support. We recommend the following key steps: (1) focusing on improvements in producing and maintaining superior quality that meets export standards and provides capital stimulus; and (2) through greater government and industry synergy, encouraging governments to provide support to farmers and cooperatives alike. Further, other Indonesian regions could adopt Arabica coffee for rural development. This study contributes by formulating a better understanding of the major challenges facing producers of agricultural commodities.

The purpose of this study was to assess the management practices of three coffee
cooperatives in Rwanda and, subsequently, modify existing educational curricular
modules in order to address the identified areas of need. Societal and institutional
challenges, such as a lack of management training, may hinder the growth of welldeveloped
coffee cooperatives in Rwanda. Capacity building through adult education is a
central component to development efforts.
The research questions used to accomplish the purpose of this study focused on
the principles of cooperative identity, participation and decision making, internal and
external communications, organizational and leadership development, and the duties of
and relationships between the cooperatives leadership.
The three cooperatives have been assisted by the USAID-funded PEARL project.
The sample population consisted of the Members, Management, and Board of Directors
of the three coffee cooperatives in Rwanda. A purposive sample of key informants was
selected. A total of 65 individuals participated in the research task. The data were
collected from mid-July to mid-August, 2005.
This study was qualitative and quantitative in design. The research instruments
included a quantitative, close-ended category-scale questionnaire and a qualitative, openended
standardized interview. The responses to the open-ended standardized interviews
were tabulated based on the frequency and percentage of responses. The close-ended category-scale questionnaires were analyzed based on the frequency and percentage of
responses. A case study data analysis methodology was used to combine the responses to
the quantitative and qualitative methods.
Major findings of the study include that one or more of the cooperatives need
education programming in the areas of cooperative member ownership, job descriptions,
and ways in which to increase participation in decision-making. The cooperatives need
to increase internal communications regarding the function of the federation of coffee
cooperatives in securing long-term sustainability. The cooperatives need to empower the
sector level leadership to resolve conflicts and increase communication flows.

Coffee production in Costa Rica has brought prosperity to many small farmers, but conflicts of interest with the companies which process and market coffee are still a problem. In addition, producers and processors are plagued by the periodic market cycles of agricultural commodities. Various agencies have promoted cooperatives to help small farmers deal with these problems, but they often fail due to poor management and lack of participation.This thesis, a multi-layered study of coffee production, processing, and marketing, examines how household producers manage the constraints and opportunities posed by the international market, the Costa Rican state, and the coffee tree itself. A comparative analysis between cooperative and private coffee processors; between two rural communities; and among households in these communities provides the ethnographic context in which the effectiveness of cooperatives as mediating institutions between producers and the world market is analyzed.

This study investigates the resilience of coffee cooperatives and producer organizations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and explores their adaptations to the context in relation to their livelihood capitals. The changes to their operations are analyzed through the contexts of shocks, trends and stresses and how they perceived these threats. The topic of research is relevant given the economic and social importance of cooperatives in these communities and potential impacts to their operations during COVID-19, which is likely to have long-term impacts locally and within the global setting.There is a lack of consensus regarding the classification of cooperatives as resilient organizations, with much of the previous research focusing on financial crisis or natural disasters. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented event on a global scale with far-reaching impacts into social, economic and political spheres, and examining these effects is still a developing realm within academic research. The relationship of coffee producers and their organizations within the global commodity chains renders such organizations particularly vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 and government policy interventions. Investigating how coffee cooperatives in Honduras have been operating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic assesses their potential capacity for resilience by examining how they have been impacted and the manners in which they have overcome these challenges. This further allows for increased understanding of cooperative resilience and ways in which cooperatives’ capital have the potential to impact their resilience.This research follows an abductive qualitative case study and utilizes semi-structured interviews from various coffee cooperatives and organizations in Honduras as primary sources with existing literature as secondary sources. The interviews were conducted remotely. The findings include accounts from cooperatives and producer organizations, which focus primarily on coffee production, in addition to reports from a privately owned coffee production enterprise and a cooperative member. The Vulnerability Context and Asset Pentagon, components of the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Framework as described by the Department for International Development, were used to analyze the data, along with variables to assess organizational resilience. The study finds that investments to organizations’ human and social capital were prioritized and heavily relied upon during this crisis and the more established organizations had a larger range of resources from which to draw upon. Nevertheless, by continuing to develop and expand on human and social capital, cooperative organizations can increase their capacity for resilience.

La certification volontaire offre aux consommateurs des informations détaillées sur le processus de production et/ou de fabrication des produits. Les organisations paysannes jouent un rôle important dans la gestion de certification et de l'accès des petits agriculteurs aux marchés certifiés. Les organisations de producteurs du Costa Rica ont historiquement joué un rôle important dans la participation des petits producteurs aux filières certifiées et leur motivation à accéder aux marchés certifiés. Les organisations paysannes jouent un rôle important dans la gestion de certification et de l'accès des petits agriculteurs aux marchés certifiés. Pour ces raisons, le Costa Rica offre un environnement intéressant pour étudier la façon dont les organisations de producteurs de café arrivent à gérer la certification de leurs membres.Cette recherche se concentre uniquement sur les coopératives et les consortiums de coopératives puisqu’elles sont importantes dans le processus de certification. Considérant le manque de connaissances sur le rôle des coopératives et de la certification volontaire du café, cette thèse traite les questions suivantes: Quel est le rôle des coopératives dans la gestion des certifications volontaires ? Quels sont les changements induits par la certification, au niveau des coopératives et des exploitations ?, Quels aspects sociaux uniques propres au Costa Rica influencent la gestion et l'efficacité de la certification?Les administrateurs de vingt des vingt-deux coopératives de café au Costa Rica ont été enquêtés. Quatre coopératives ont ensuite été sélectionnées pour les études de cas approfondies.Bien que les certifications soient souvent critiqués de ne pas provoquer d‘amélioration au niveau de l'exploitation en raison de la sélection des exploitations conformées uniquement, le facteur qui encourage les coopératives à choisir la certification individuelle est la structure des certifications, y compris la faible demande de café certifié, les incitations faible et variables des prix, les coûts élevés de l'audit et des exigences élevées en gestion et en formation. Au Costa Rica, la certification de café volontaire fournissent des avantages réels, bien que minimes aux coopératives ainsi qu’à leurs membres. Les coopératives prennent des décisions sur la gestion des certifications en fonction de leurs stratégies commerciales, du type de café qu'elles produisent et de leur dotation en capital social, cette qui se manifeste comme une solidarité de groupe ou une approche commerciale. La certification incite à une approche plus holistique de la production de café en nécessitant plus de formations et de services liés à la production durable. Elle encourage les coopératives à collaborer avec d'autres parties prenantes, en augmentant leur connectivité et leur capital social. Cela donne aux membres un accès à de nouvelles connaissances et services, ce qui peut potentiellement créer un cercle vertueux de production de capital social.La certification peut cependant encourager les coopératives à offrir des services supplémentaires ou des incitations financières à une partie de leurs membres seulement. Un niveau élevé de capital social est nécessaire au niveau administratif pour assurer une répartition équitable des avantages de la certification tout en offrant des incitations aux membres à poursuivre la certificationVoluntary certifications offer consumers information on the process in which products are produced. Farmers’ organizations play an important role in the management of certifications and in small-farmer access to certified markets. Costa Rican farmers’ organizations have a long history of participation in the certified value chain and in fomenting small farmers’ access to certified markets. Farmers’ organizations also make strategic decisions related to the organization’s participation in the certified value chain and how farmers are supported and incentivized to join.For these reasons Costa Rica provides an interesting milieu to study how farmers’ organizations manage certifications. Because of their importance in the certification process in Costa Rica, this research focuses on cooperatives and consortia of cooperatives. Considering the gap in knowledge regarding the role of cooperatives and voluntary coffee certifications, this thesis presents the following questions: What is the role of cooperatives in the management of voluntary coffee certifications?, What are the advantages and disadvantages of participation in voluntary certifications for cooperatives?, What changes do certifications induce at the cooperative and farm levels?, What social aspects in Costa Rica influence the management and effectiveness of certifications? Administrators from twenty of the twenty-two coffee cooperatives in Costa Rica were interviewed to obtain basic data on harvest size, membership and management and participation in certifications. Four cooperatives were selected for in-depth case studies.Certifications are often criticized for not eliciting widespread change at the farm level due to the selection of compliant farms, but it is the structure of the certifications, including low demand, weak and variable price incentives, high costs of auditing and high requirements for management and training, which incentivize cooperatives to choose individual certifications.In Costa Rica, voluntary coffee certifications promote small but real benefits to cooperatives and their members. Cooperatives make decisions about the management of certifications based on their business strategies, the type of coffee they produce and the social capital inherent in the cooperative, which is manifested as a group solidarity approach or a commercial approach.Certifications incite a more holistic approach to coffee production by requiring training and services related to sustainable production. Certifications encourage cooperatives to collaborate with other stakeholders, increasing their connectedness and organizational social capital. This gives members access to new knowledge and services and has the potential to create a virtuous cycle of the production of social capital.Certifications, however, may induce cooperatives to offer additional services or financial incentives to some members and not to others. A high level of social capital is needed at the administrative level to ensure an equitable distribution of the benefits of certifications while still offering members incentives to pursue certifications

Full textAbstract:
O sistema de financiamento da cafeicultura evoluiu no processo da transição do trabalho escravo para o livre, ocasionando o aumento da demanda do crédito para o custeio anual da safra sobre os empréstimos de longo prazo exigidos durante o regime escravista. Por outro lado, a crise dos preços do café ocorrida entre 1896 e 1906 evidenciou as limitações do sistema de financiamento existente que estava baseado nos adiantamentos fornecidos por comerciantes. As novas necessidades de crédito e o crescente clima de descontentamento com os mecanismos comerciais de financiamento acabariam por suscitar propostas de intervenção do Estado com políticas de crédito agrícola a serem organizadas ou subsidiadas pelo governo do Estado de São Paulo e que viriam a ser concretizadas na esteira do programa de valorização do café, adotado em 1906. Tais intervenções incluiriam a criação de bancos agrícolas e o incentivo às cooperativas rurais de crédito, das quais os chamados Bancos de Custeio Rural são os primeiros experimentos desse tipo no estado e constituem nosso objeto de estudo. Os Bancos de Custeio Rural formaram uma rede de cooperativas de crédito, que atuou entre 1906 e 1914 no interior do estado de São Paulo. Esses bancos emprestavam apenas aos fazendeiros associados o valor demandado no financiamento anual da lavoura. Tendo surgido no contexto da crise cafeeira de 1896-1906, a sua reconstituição revela o intenso debate a respeito dos meios de se combater a crise e sobre o papel do Estado no financiamento agrícola. Os bancos de custeio surgiram como uma alternativa à intervenção governamental no sistema de crédito e representam a primeira experiência com o cooperativismo de crédito no Estado de São Paulo. Em 1914, eles estavam presentes em quarenta e nove cidades paulistas, no entanto, apesar de seu rápido crescimento, eles desapareceram após a falência da companhia que os organizava, em janeiro deste ano. Neste artigo discutimos as circunstâncias de seu surgimento, sua organização, atuação e falênciaThe financing system of coffee has evolved in the transition from slave to free labor process as credit for the cost of the annual harvest was imposed in relation to long-term loans required by the slave system. On the other hand, the crisis in coffee prices that occurred between 1896 and 1906 would demonstrate the limitations of the funding system, based on advances provided by merchants. The new credit requirements and the growing sense of discontent with commercial financing mechanisms would eventually raise proposals for state intervention through an agricultural credit policy to be organized by the state government of São Paulo and that was to be carried on the mat the coffee valorization program adopted in 1906. Such interventions include the establishment of agricultural banks and encouraging rural credit cooperatives of which the so-called Costing rural banks are the first experiments of this type in the state and constitute our object of study. The \"Bancos de Custeio Rural\" consisted of a network of credit unions that operated between 1906 and 1914 in the state of São Paulo. During this period, these banks lent, to associated farmers only, the necessary amount to fund their annual crop. Having arisen in the context of the coffee crisis of 1896-1906, their reconstitution reveals the intense debate regarding ways to tackle the crisis and the role of the state in agricultural finance. The BCRs emerged as an alternative to government intervention in the credit system and represented the first experience with the credit cooperativism in the state of São Paulo. In 1914, they were present in forty-nine cities of that state.

Full textAbstract:
A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar as influências do modelo de gestão nas estratégias de duas cooperativas mistas de leite e café da região sul de Minas Gerais. Especificamente, fez-se a análise externa do ambiente (ameaças e oportunidades) ao qual as cooperativas estão expostas e também a análise interna (pontos fortes e fracos) dessas organizações; investigou-se as articulações políticas entre as chapas envolvidas no último processo eleitoral; analisou-se o grau da influência da mudança de gestão na formulação e implementação das estratégias nas cooperativas, comparando-as com indicadores de eficiência financeira, econômica e social. Finalmente, foram levantadas as opiniões dos cooperados a respeito da validade dos princípios doutrinários que regem o cooperativismo e do modelo de gestão de suas cooperativas. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa classifica-se como descritiva conclusiva e, também na tipologia de estudos de casos. Adotou-se, para a coleta de dados, a triangulação de técnicas: entrevista pessoal, análise documental (parte qualitativa da pesquisa) e questionário estruturado (parte quantitativa) ao qual aplicou-se a análise discriminante para verificar as divergências nas opiniões dos cooperados considerando-se o porte de produtor rural. Optou-se por omitir os nomes das cooperativas para manter o sigilo tanto das organizações quanto dos entrevistados. Os resultados demonstraram que as principais ameaças do ambiente às cooperativas são: concorrência de produtos lácteos (principalmente com as multinacionais e o mercado informal de leite); concorrência com os distribuidores de insumos agropecuários; dependência das cooperativas em relação à Cooperativa Central de Laticínios do Estado de São Paulo (Central Paulista), a qual estão filiadas e adaptação do modelo de gestão cooperativista ao regime capitalista. As principais oportunidades detectadas são: possibilidade de ampliação do mercado regional de produtos lácteos a ser explorado com as marcas próprias; boa localização geográfica das cooperativas no país (região sudeste); duplicação da rodovia Fernão Dias, o que deve ampliar o desenvolvimento do mercado regional e, finalmente, diversificação vertical na industrialização de café. Os entrevistados têm consciência de que as cooperativas estão expostas às influências ambientais, entretanto, há consenso que a resposta dessas organizações ao ambiente tem sido lenta e burocrática devido, principalmente, ao fato das decisões estratégicas serem tomadas de forma colegiada em esporádicas assembléias que, no geral, têm apresentado baixa participação dos associados. As articulações políticas que ocorreram na última eleição em ambas cooperativas, podem ser consideradas como um momento crítico nessas organizações, provocando reflexos traumáticos em todos os envolvidos no processo (membros das chapas vencedora e perdedora, cooperados e funcionários). Após a eleição na Cooperativa MINAS-1, verificou-se que metade dos membros da nova Diretoria Executiva e Conselho de Administração havia participado em cargos diretivos nas duas gestões anteriores, o que contribuiu para a continuidade de todas as estratégias formuladas na gestão anterior que tiveram influências consideradas positivas, negativas e nulas. Na Cooperativa MINAS-2, após a eleição a chapa de oposição assumiu o poder. Nenhum dos membros da nova Diretoria Executiva e Conselho de Administração havia participado de cargos administrativos nas duas gestões anteriores. Devido a divergências ideológicas nessa transição, houve descontinuidade em algumas estratégias traçadas na gestão anterior, fato que julgou-se como influência negativa. Nas demais estratégias, as influências foram consideradas como positivas, negativas e nulas. Nesse sentido, verificou-se que houve relação entre a estabilidade dos dirigentes nos cargos administrativos com a continuidade das estratégias das cooperativas. A comparação das estratégias com índices de eficiência financeira, econômica e social demonstrou que a Cooperativa MINAS-1 apresentou-se mais eficiente em relação a Cooperativa MINAS-2 devido, principalmente, a estrutura organizacional mais enxuta e menores custos administrativos. Por outro lado, a Cooperativa MINAS-2 mostrou-se mais eficiente na prestação de serviços. Os resultados da análise discriminante, considerando-se o porte de produtor rural, demonstrou que as opiniões do grupo dos mini e pequenos produtores divergiram do grupo dos médios e grandes produtores nas seguintes variáveis da pesquisa: o princípio da adesão livre deve ser eliminado; a cooperativa deve desenvolver novos critérios para pagamento dos cooperados por volume e qualidade; a cooperação entre cooperativas deve ser feita com base na eficiência e interesses estratégicos dos parceiros, seja outra cooperativa ou até mesmo uma empresa não cooperativa; o capital social deve ser corrigido com base nos juros de mercado e não em no máximo 12% ao ano; não é bom para a cooperativa quando grupos se apropriam do poder e ficam muito tempo na diretoria e, finalmente, o cooperado que não cumpre seu papel deveria ser excluído da cooperativa. Contudo, considerando o modelo de gestão das cooperativas, verificou-se que os fatores que mais influenciaram nas estratégias das cooperativas estudadas foram: o amadorismo gerencial dos dirigentes, a ausência de planejamento estratégico e, principalmente, as divergências políticas entre os grupos de interesse envolvidos na disputa pelo poder.The present research aimed at analyzing the influences of the management model on the strategies of two milk and coffee cooperatives in the southern region of Minas Gerais. Specifically speaking, an external analysis of the environment (threats and oportunities) in which cooperatives in general are exposed to was performed, as well as an internal analysis (positive and negative aspects) of such organizations; political articulations among the groups involved in the previous elections were investigated; the degree of influence of the change of the board, in formulation and implemention of the cooperatives strategies, was analysed, related to financial, economical and social indicators. Finally, the cooperators opinions about the validity of the principles which guide cooperativism, as well as their opinions about their own cooperatives management model were raised. As for the methodology, the research is descriptive conclusive, and also in the typology of case study. As for the collection of data, three techniques were adopted: individual interviews, documental analysis (the qualitative part of the research), and structured questionaire (the quantitative part) to which the discriminant analysis was applied aiming at verifying divergences in the cooperators opinions considering the rural producers size. The names of the cooperatives were omitted to protect both the organizations and the ones interviewed. The results showed that the main environmental threats to the cooperatives are: competition with dairy products (especially those produced by multinationals and the informal milk market); competition with agricultural input dealers; the cooperatives dependence on the Cooperativa Central de Laticínios do Estado de São Paulo (Central Paulista) to which they are affiliated, and the adaptation of the management model to the capitalist regime. The main oportunities detected were: the possibility of enlargement in the regions market of milk products to be explored through the producers own brand of products; convenient location of the cooperatives throughout the countrys southeastern region; the improvement of the Fernão Dias highway, which should enhance the regional market development, and finally, the vertical diversification in the coffee industrialization. The ones interviewed are aware that the cooperatives are exposed to enviromental influences. There is, however, a consensus that the responses from those organizations to the environment has been slow and bureaucratic, due mainly to the fact that the strategical decisions are made in a collegiate manner, in sporadic assembly meetings which, in general, have presented low participation of associates. The political articulations that occurred in the last elections, in both cooperatives, may as well be seen as having caused critical moments in those organizations, traumatically reflecting on everyone involved in the process (members of the winning and of the defeated groups, cooperators and employees). Following the elections at Cooperativa MINAS-1, it was verified that half of the members of the new Executive Board and Management Council had had directive job positions in the two previous administrations, which contributed to the continuity of the strategies formulated in the previous administrations whose influences were considered as positive, negative and nule. At Cooperativa MINAS 2, the oposition group took over. None of the members of the Executive Board and Council of Administration had had any administrative jobs at that cooperative during the two previous administration periods. Due to ideological divergences in the transition some strategies adopted by the previous administrators were not continued, which was considered as negative influence. As for the other strategies, the influences were considered as positive, negative and nule. In that sense, it was verified that there was a relationship between the directors stability in their administrative positions and the maintainance of the cooperatives strategies. The comparison of the strategies to financial, economical and social efficiency indexes has shown that Cooperativa MINAS-1 had a higher performance than that of Cooperativa MINAS-2 due to a smaller organizational structure and lower administrative costs. On the other hand, however, Cooperativa MINAS-2 proved to be more efficient as far as service rendering is concerned. The results of the discriminant analysis, considering the rural producers size, showed that the opinions given by the mini-producers and the small-size producers group diverged from those given by the medium and big producersgroup in the following reasearch variables: the principle of free adhesion should be eliminated; the cooperative should develop new criteria as for the cooperators payment based on volume and quality; the cooperation among cooperatives should be performed with basis on the partners efficiency and strategical interests, be it or not another cooperative or even a non-cooperative entity. Capital stock should be updated with basis on market interests instead of the usual maximum of 12% a year; it is not advantageous, or even good for the cooperative, when groups take over the power and stay in charge for a long period of time and, finally, cooperator who fail to play his part should be excluded from the cooperative. However, considering the management models in the cooperatives, it was verified that the most influencial factors in the cooperatives investigated were: the directors amateur managerial level, the absence of strategical planning, and, mainly, the political divergences among the interest groups involved in the dispute for power.

Full textAbstract:
Le secteur du café en Afrique de l’Ouest est confronté à un double défi. D’une part, l'exportation exclusive de café vert, en tant que produit d'économie de rente, limite l'intégration de la caféiculture ouest-africaine dans la nouvelle chaîne de valeur mondiale du café. D’autre part, cette dynamique freine la structuration d’un marché local et sous-régional. Face à cette double contrainte, qui découle en partie de la régulation du secteur à travers le prisme du PMGP (Prix minimum garanti aux producteurs), l’exportation nette de café ne constitue plus un facteur suffisant pour assurer un développement durable du secteur dans l’espace économique ouest-africain. Pour tirer parti de la croissance du marché mondial, il est nécessaire d’adopter un modèle économique plus intégré pour la caféiculture ouest-africaine. Cette thèse explore cette voie en s’appuyant sur la RPCC (Responsabilité patrimoniale des coopératives caféicoles). La valorisation du patrimoine caféicole en Afrique de l’Ouest repose ici sur l’association du modèle coopératif avec les systèmes d’indication géographique (IG). Combinés, l’outil organisationnel et le levier juridico-financier offrent aux caféiculteurs ouest-africains la possibilité de contribuer à la structuration d’un écosystème socio-économique durable autour du café qu'ils produisent. Afin de démontrer l'efficacité de cette approche de valorisation, qui vise à défendre les intérêts des caféiculteurs par et pour eux-mêmes, la thèse propose la mise en place d'un bassin expérimental. Dans ce cadre, les coopératives caféicoles et les distributeurs collaboreraient autour de la création d'une potentielle Indication géographique (IG) « Cafés du Golfe de Guinée »The coffee sector in West Africa faces a dual challenge. On one hand, the exclusive export of green coffee as a cash crop limits the integration of West African coffee farming into the new global coffee value chain. On the other hand, this dynamic hinders the development of a local and sub-regional market. Faced with this dual constraint, partly stemming from the sector's regulation through the lens of the PMGP (minimum guaranteed price to producers), net coffee exports are no longer a sufficient factor to ensure sustainable development of the sector within the West African economic space. To leverage the growth of the global market, it is necessary to adopt a more integrated economic model for West African coffee farming. This thesis explores this path by focusing on the RPCC (Cooperative Coffee Farmers' Patrimonial Responsibility). The valorization of coffee farming heritage in West Africa is based on combining the cooperative model with geographical indication (GI) systems. Together, the organizational tool and the legal-financial lever offer West African coffee farmers the opportunity to contribute to the structuring of a sustainable socio-economic ecosystem around the coffee they produce. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this valorization approach, which aims to protect the interests of coffee farmers by and for themselves, the thesis proposes the creation of an experimental zone. In this context, coffee cooperatives and distributors would collaborate on the development of a potential geographical indication (GI) "Coffees of the Gulf of Guinea."

Full textAbstract:
While the movement for fair trading practices in the world market dates back to the 1940s, the labeling and certification initiative “Fairtrade” has existed for about 25 years. My thesis is based on independent research I conducted in November 2013 in La Convención Valley, Peru. Through in-depth interviews with fifteen small farmers and several cooperative officials at La Central de Cooperativas Agrarias Cafetaleras (COCLA), I examine the discrepancies between what Fairtrade’s claims and what farmers themselves perceive to be the benefits and failures of the certification system. I argue that while in theory farmers receive a competitive price for their Fairtrade coffee, in reality this price is subject to many deductions at the cooperative level such that many certified farmers express little understanding of their role in Fairtrade. Additionally, claims of corruption within the cooperative point to deeply entrenched local hierarchies of power. Comparing La Convencion’s history of exploitative feudal systems to present-day complaints of farmers – that the majority of money remains in the hands of cooperative officials, who limit farmers’ access to important market information and flaunt a higher quality of life – suggests that Fairtrade is actually reproducing harmful conditions of the past. I conclude that Fairtrade certification fails to empower farmers to escape local hierarchies of power and the exploitative conditions of the capitalist neoliberal world market. Making global trade truly fair requires an emphasis on an alternative international economic world order that holds consumers more accountable and places more value on the lives and experiences of producers.

Dzebo, Adis, and Kevin M. Adams. The coffee supply chain illustrates transboundary climate risks: Insights on governance pathways. Stockholm Environment Institute, April 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.51414/sei2022.002.
Full textAbstract:
The interconnections between countries in a globalizing world continue to deepen and are central to the modern international economy. Yet, governance efforts to build resilience to the adverse risks and impacts of climate change are highly fragmented and have not sufficiently focused on these international dimensions. Relationships between people, ecosystems and economies across borders change the scope and nature of the climate adaptation challenge and generate climate risks that are transboundary (Challinor et al., 2017). Climate impacts in one country can create risks and opportunities – and therefore may require adaptation – in other countries, due to cross-border connectivity within regions and globally (Hedlund et al., 2018). These Transboundary Climate Risks (TCRs) may develop in one location remote from the location of their origin. This dynamic necessitates examining the governance structures for managing climate change adaptation. For example, with regard to trade and international supply chains, climate change impacts in one location can disrupt local economies and vulnerable people’s livelihoods, while also affecting the price, quality and availability of goods and services on international markets (Benzie et al., 2018). Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world with an immensely globalized supply chain. The global coffee sector involves more than 100 million people in over 80 countries. Coffee production and the livelihoods of smallholder coffee farmers around the world are at risk due to climate change, threatening to disrupt one of the world’s largest agricultural supply chains. The coffee supply chain represents an important arena for public and private actors to negotiate how resource flows should be governed and climate risks should be managed. Currently, neither governments nor private sector actors are sufficiently addressing TCRs (Benzie & Harris, 2020) and no clear mandates exist for actors to take ownership of this issue. Furthermore, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the main body for climate change policy and governance, does not provide any coherent recommendations on how to manage TCRs. This governance gap raises questions about what methods are likely to effectively reduce climate risk and be taken seriously by coffee market stakeholders. This policy brief explores different ways to govern TCRs, and how public and private actors view their effectiveness and legitimacy. Focusing on the Brazilian-German coffee supply chain, the brief presents a deductive framework of five governance pathways through which TCRs could be managed. It is based on 41 semi-structured interviews with 65 Brazilian and German public and private experts, including roasters, traders, cooperatives, associations and certification schemes, as well as government ministries, international development agencies, international organizations and civil society representatives.

Rural Agro-Enterprise Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth (RAPID-Growth) Project Baseline Survey. Philippine Institute for Development Studies, December 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.62986/dp2023.39.
Full textAbstract:
This study presents a baseline survey for the Rural Agro-enterprise Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth (RAPID-Growth) project implemented by the Department of Trade and Industry. Operating in six regions of Mindanao and Region VIII, the project focuses on key value chains, including cacao, coconut, coffee, and processed fruits and nuts. The study delves into the current conditions of smallholder farming households and farmer organizations (FOs), complementing another PIDS study on matching grants as a strategy for enterprise development (Umlas and Briones 2023). Utilizing quantitative impact and process evaluation, the research undertakes the first step toward assessing program effects and understanding program implementation. Survey key findings underscore the alignment of the treatment group with project selection criteria, particularly from high-poverty municipalities and vulnerable groups. Some differences between the treatment and control groups are already evident in terms of income sources, economic enterprise participation, and credit access, which needs to be carefully considered when isolating project impact at the endline. The enterprise profiling reveals that most involved FOs are larger entities with over 200 members, operating for 0–9 years, and comprising cooperatives, corporations, and worker associations. Despite challenges, such as the absence of a robust M&E system, the process evaluation highlights positive aspects, including the effectiveness of the matching grant scheme, FO empowerment, FO capacity development, and private sector involvement. Finally, baseline study recommendations relate to expediting project completion, reconsidering certain project components, and enhancing technical assistance to FOs.
