Full textAbstract:
Joint development among farmers cooperatives is an inevitable trend. This paper, based on analysis of the game model, maintains that sound development of the federations of farmers cooperatives requires greater efforts into propaganda and education on cooperatives, strengthening of policy-based supply, support and guidance, optimization of the supervision and restriction mechanism, and rationalization of profit distribution mechanism among members.

Full textAbstract:
Lately, India has witnessed widespread emergence of federated structures of informal self-help groups (SHGs) as a corollary of the growth of the SHG movement. Besides ensuring the sustainability of SHGs, these federated structures are seen as potential instruments that can socio-economically empower the former and their members. However, the formation of SHG federations has been neither uniform across the country nor free of perplexity as regards their design and role. Federations of cooperatives are seen as natural extensions of the organic growth process of primary co-operatives—formal or informal. The federating process, by way of vertical integration, is supposed to bring in several benefits as it tries to address the felt needs and shared values of members. The conceptual and normative tenets visualized for the success of federations suggest that such structures have to be bottom-up while being democratic and economically sound in their integration and functioning. The article is an attempt to critically examine the design and policy challenges confronting the SHG federations. Based on an assessment of their emerging roles and performance, the article identifies possible ways of taking forward the SHG federations in a sustainable way.

Full textAbstract:
Almost all the states in India have Forest Corporations dealing in collection, processing and marketing of forest products. Poor forest labourers who were previously dis-organised have now been brought under the umbrella of various organisations like Forest Labour Cooperative Societies, Large-area Multipurpose Societies (LAMPS), Tribal Development Corporations (TDC) and Minor Forest Produce Federations (MFPF). The Tribal Federation (TRIFED), a government agency, is protecting the interest of the tribals by providing marketing support to state-level corporations, federations and cooperatives dealing with collection of Non-Timber Forest Products by involving tribals. The tribal cooperative society gets collection right of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) from forest department on payment of lease every year. The lease amount is decided after a thorough survey of the resources inside in the forest by the forest officials. The lease period normally falls from 1st June to 31st May. Collection and marketing of Non-Timber Forest Products being a tedious process several preliminary works and marketing channels do exist to carry on the work. Hence the study was taken up in the Kolli hills of Salem District, Sathyamangalam Forest Division of Erode District and in the Pollachi Division of Tamil Nadu to unravel the tie up activities involved in this collection and marketing of Non-Timber Forest Products. The societies involved, products collected and the collection rate fixed are dealt in detail.

Full textAbstract:
Inter-organizational cooperation has become a major challenge for the development of organizations. Inter-organizational relations are enormously successful in terms of cooperation, especially when talking about Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) companies. Today, several forms of cooperation appeared in Morocco with the creation of groups, unions, networks and federations. Through this paper, we study the dynamics of inter-organizational cooperation and its contribution to the economic and social development of an Economic Interest Grouping (EIG) of women's cooperatives in Argan. We proceed for our analysis according to the dialectical approach as it was adopted by Dameron (2001, 2002), via the study of the cooperation relations of the EIG TARGANINE, based on a qualitative approach carried out by semi-structured interviews carried out with the president of the EIG and the leaders of the member cooperatives.

Full textAbstract:
In 2011, the Guidelines for Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution announced Cuba's intentions to decentralize state power and economic decision-making, shift toward a mixed economy, and channel up to one-third of state workers to worker-owned cooperative enterprises and the small business sector. As socialist theory requires movement away from state-centered and toward mixed economies, I examine Danish and Cuban cooperative agricultural movements, evaluating them with respect to the Rochdale Principles of cooperative production, to identify appropriate economic production forms for democratic, participatory socialism within the context of globalization. This study argues first that, to maximize efficiency, cooperative production processes must remain entirely in the hands of cooperative federations. Second, a culture of economic democracy is reinforced by the democratic principles of cooperative work. Third, an income tax would function as a more appropriate way for the Cuban state to obtain a share of returns from agricultural cooperatives than the current production quota system, to avoid disrupting cooperative incentive structures. Fourth, cooperatives can perform well in any industry, at all levels of technological development, and should be considered a dominant model for socialism. Finally, although the Rochdale Principles are based on economic and social justice, these principles and their practical application must be continually refined through further experimentation and research.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of India’s diary development projects is to empower rural women. Rural women in West Bengal are empowered by cooperatives that produce women’s milk at the village level. A case study of particular women’s milk producers’ society was done in the West Bengal district of Nadia by the Modhumoti women milk producers’ co-operative society, which is a member of the West Bengal Milk Union (WBMUL). The socioeconomic standing of the women members greatly improved when they joined the women milk producers’ cooperative association. A three-tier structure of dairy cooperative groups, including producers’ societies at the village level, unions at the district level, and federations at the state level, was discovered by the study in West Bengal. The study discovered that there are two sectors in the milk marketing system: organized and unorganized. The authors conclude by identifying the employment at one’s own home, an increase in family income, a rise in social status, and economic independence as the three most significant drivers of these women’s decision to join cooperative societies as seen in the study area.

Full textAbstract:
The economic development literature has highlighted the importance of microcredit institutions in providing cheap credit to farmers in poor countr ies or regions. In the Spanish case, the pósitos, village grain banks found throughout most of the countr y, played this role for centuries. This article, using government reports of 1912 to 1914, not only attempts to measure the success of these village organizations, but also the problems to adapt them to the needs of modern agriculture. We show that the pósitos could be ver y impor tant at the local level, restricting the development of cooperatives, but that they could not take deposits, and lacked an organizational structure to create networks or federations.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of the banking business of Japan’s agricultural cooperatives (JAs), which depend heavily on financial business with non-farmers, contradictory to cooperative principles. Design/methodology/approach The authors construct a panel data set over 2005–2016 from the financial statements of JAs’ prefectural-level federations and use the input distance stochastic frontier model with a time-variant inefficiency effect for analysis. Both the flow and stock measures of the banking output are used in identical models and the efficiency results are compared. The authors also investigate the determinants of efficiency by using the Tobit and ordinary least squares regression models. Findings There is strong evidence of significant prefectural differences in efficiency values. The ratio of lending to non-members to total loans is positively related to efficiency. In contrast, the higher reliance on a central organization and credit business leads to lower efficiency. Research limitations/implications Apart from banking, JAs provide mutual insurance business services. As the authors investigate only the efficiency of JAs’ banking business in this study, it would be necessary to investigate the efficiency of their insurance business as well when evaluating JAs’ overall financial business. Originality/value There are few studies that investigate the efficiency of JAs’ banking business and its determinants, although significant attention has been paid to their excessive dependence on the financial business.

Purpose: The study sought to evaluate financial factors affecting the production efficiency of small-scale coffee farms in Burundi.
Methodology: The research design used during the study was descriptive. The research targeted a population of 300 small-scale coffee farmers. The study had a sample population of 121 smallholder coffee farmers. The study conducted the research for a 6-year period between 2015-2020. The data was collected using a secondary data collection sheet. Secondary data was obtained from Coffee federations' annual reports, cooperatives reports, and coffee farmers’ records. Analysis of the data was done using the Eviews student 11 version. The analyzed data was presented in form of tabulations, mean and standard deviation.
Findings: The study findings showed that the correlation analysis showed that the selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans had a negative and significant correlation to the production efficiency by R = 0.98. Production efficiency had a negative and significant correlation to capital availability by R = 0.260. Lastly, production efficiency had a positive and significant correlation to production costs at R = 0.500. The findings of the research obtained that selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans had a not significant negative effect on production efficiency, while capital availability and production costs had a positive effect on the production efficiency.
A unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: The study recommended that government should review the policies relating to the selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans to improve small-scale coffee farmers’ incomes. Government should also facilitate access to credit to small-scale coffee farmers. The study incorporated the Cobweb theory of price fluctuation, the theory of credit rationing also called adverse selection theory, and the high payoff inputs model.

Full textAbstract:
India is the largestmilk producer in the world and dairy cooperatives are the backbone of Indian dairy industry. In Kerala, the Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation,popularly known as Milma,has played a significant role for the development of dairy business. But in the recent years even though the Federationcontinues to mark growth,the percentage of growth has beenfar below the growth of theprivate dairy sector. The study analysed the performance of KCMMF with respect to milk pourment and sale, and of the various welfare schemes of the Federation. The study revealed that the growth in the pourment of milk was not par with the growth of thesale of milk during the period of study. Only 14 percent of the total member farmers were pouringmilk to the dairy cooperatives. Huge amount spent by the Federation for implementing welfare schemes has notcreated a positive impact on the growth of milk pourment. The Federation has to adopt certain criteria to provide such welfare benefits to attract the lost member farmers, which will definitely help the Federation to achieve the very objectives of the welfare schemes.

Consumer cooperatives do not always use the possible potential of the region for their development. The success of the development of the cooperative largely depends on support from the state. Also, with an increase in production volumes by households by 3.7%, the volume of purchases from consumer cooperation is reduced by 8.5%. The novelty of the study is the results obtained on the potential of the purchasing and marketing activities of consumer cooperatives.

Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) is a farmers' cooperative in India marketing the dairy products of the milk cooperatives in the State of Gujarat. It has been a successful enterprise, and its flagship brand Amul has become one of the best recognized brand names in India. Due to supply side difficulties thanks to the growth rate in milk procurement hitting a plateau, and intensified competition in the dairy products, GCMMF is considering diversification into processed foods such as juices, jams and sauces, possibly leveraging its name and brand image. The case describes the history of GCMMF, and the characteristics of the dairy as well as the processed foods businesses. The case also describes the organizational parameters of GCMMF to enable an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. It ends with the question of whether to diversify, and if so, the implications; and if it does not, what it should do about its milk business.

PurposeAs a part of the authors’ continued efforts to understand the experience and trends related to small business cooperatives, the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives (USFWC) and the Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI) explored themes around the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces.Design/methodology/approachThe USFWC and DAWI conduct a biannual Economic Census of worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces. Survey themes this year included questions around the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individual firms.FindingsGeneral findings indicate that worker cooperatives experienced financial losses similar to conventional small businesses, but that this varied widely by industry. Although it has been found that BIPOC-owned conventional small businesses have been some of the hardest hit during the pandemic, the authors find that there may be some mitigating protective effects of the worker cooperative form when the authors explore the impacts on worker cooperatives with a majority BIPOC workforce. Additionally, the authors find that worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces strive to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their workers even when facing significant financial challenges throughout the pandemic.Research limitations/implicationsThis research utilizes non-random convenience sampling in data collection. The outreach for our biannual Economic Census is concentrated on a highly connected worker cooperative and democratic workplace network, the experiences of which may not generalize to the larger worker cooperative and democratic workplace landscape. Additionally, outreach efforts were hindered by challenges presented by the pandemic that were not present in prior census years, as was firm bandwidth to respond, which likely affected the sample composition in comparison to prior years.Originality/valueWorker cooperatives have been proven to be a resilient crisis response form of business, but little is known about how the worker cooperative ecosystem in the United States is faring in the face of the continuing COVID-19 crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Accelerating undernutrition reduction in India requires realigning agriculture and rural development policy to empower women in agriculture. Resources targeted to women and women’s groups significantly improve agricultural productivity, women’s control of resources or assets, and health and nutrition outcomes. The country should promote women’s cooperatives, producer women’s groups, and other forms of group efforts, where they do not already exist. This would enable women to overcome the constraints of small, marginally profitable land holdings, thereby improving the dissemination of agricultural technology and other inputs, as well as marketing of produce. The National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) under the Ministry of Rural Development offers a significant potential for convergence with the agriculture sector to empower women to care for themselves and their children. NRLM’s federations of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) could radically alter the balance of power not only in the markets they participate in as both producers and consumers, but also in their communities and households.Women’s groups, including SHGs under NRLM, can become instrumental in meaningful convergence of health, nutrition, education, and other broad-based schemes addressing the deeprooted causes of undernutrition. Examples of such group-centric pro-nutrition approaches include producing and consuming nutrient-rich foods through homestead horticulture and poultry interventions; establishing and maintaining micronutrient food fortification units; producing and marketing low-cost, nutrientdense supplementary foods; developing primary food processing; enabling women and their children to access essential health and nutrition services; and catalyzing critical behavior change for optimal health and nutrition outcomes in the long run through community mobilization, including the involvement of Panchayati Raj Institutions, around nutrition-specific issues and actions. Empowering women in agriculture which is essential to India’s nutrition security requires securing women’s rights to land, providing efficient and effective legal support, and enhancing women farmers’ access to inputs. For example, entitling women in land records as cultivators on family farms, where women operate the land registered under the name of the male household members, would make a significant difference in accessing various government program benefits.

Abstract. The relevance of the presented material are justified by the fact that agrarian cooperation, first, is considered today as the most important condition for the successful functioning of agrarian sector of the economy and the preservation of rural areas, second, is under the close attention of the government, third, is characterized by low efficiency, despite the considerable efforts of theorists and practitioners. Research objective is scrupulous studying of a condition of cooperative activity in the Russian Federation in general and its regions in particular therefore materials about the efficiency assessment of domestic agricultural consumer cooperatives activity are presented in article (including in the Ural Federal District). Results. The main determinants of inefficient activity of agricultural consumer cooperatives in Russia (confirmed by calculations and analysis of corresponding economic indicators) are such circumstances as low readiness of producers for any integrative processes due to inadequacy of informal institutions; obstacles for introduction of entrepreneurial models into cooperative activities by formal institutions; limited resources at the disposal of cooperatives (including financial); non-compliant quality of human capital; inability to implement the traditional cooperative model in the current environment. Scientific novelty. The results are positively correlated with trends in the institutional environment. At the same time, the data of theoretical and empirical studies, on the basis of which, first of all, modern achievements of cooperative science and generalized material of practical activity of agricultural consumer cooperatives, allow not only to identify the main trends and tendencies in the development of domestic agricultural consumer cooperatives, but also to identify the reasons for their slow development.

The authors consider cooperation as a specific, alternative form of economic organization to the standard business firm within a market economy, and focus on agricultural cooperation in Russia. First, the article engages with the key milestones of the history of cooperation in Russia: (1) the first attempts to establish cooperative organizations before the Russian Revolution (agricultural societies, agricultural partnerships and credit cooperatives) which gave the poor rural population a chance to improve living standards and ensured promising prospects for the long-term development of cooperation in all forms; (2) the dependent forms of consumer and production cooperation under the Soviet regime that deprived all collective forms of their true cooperative nature. In the second part of the article, the authors describe the current state of the cooperative movement in the Russian countryside and identify its basic features, such as opposition to family farming and the state capitalist tendencies of the concentration and vertical integration in the form of agroholdings; state rural cooperation policies which aim to promote and financially support small farming including the development of rural cooperatives; the number and types of cooperatives in the countryside; the reasons for debates on cooperation legislation; the viability of the main types of agricultural cooperatives (production, consumer, credit cooperation). Finally, the authors emphasize that cooperation in contemporary Russia does not fit the classic Western scheme of cooperative development and still has to overcome a number of substantial challenges (the soviet legacy, lack of bottom-up initiatives, the ideological and economic dominance of large-scale farming, poor academic expertise in the field of cooperation studies).

The article presents the results of study of the possibilities and prerequisites for the development of rural territories based on the restructuring of the agri-food system at the local level. The inclusion of peasant farm enterprises, private subsidiary farms, agricultural consumer cooperatives and agricultural cooperative markets into short supply food chains has been observed. The study was conducted on the basis of Rosstat data across the subjects of the Russian Federation. The polling survey was carried out in Vologda, Leningrad and Novgorod regions. The methods of correlation and socio-economic analysis were used. Groups of regions with a high share (60-70%; 71-80%; > 80%) of peasant farms and private subsidiary farms in food production as territories with prerequisites for the formation of short supply food chains were identified. The tendencies of decreasing the number of agricultural consumer cooperatives and their localization in a limited number of regions have been established. In ten regions of Russia 52.6% of agricultural consumer cooperatives are concentrated and 49.2% of peasant farms as their members are located. Cooperatives in Russia as a whole cover only 5.2% of all peasant farms. Operating agricultural consumer cooperatives provide their services only to 4% of private subsidiary farms. Based on the correlation of Spearman's ranks, a moderate tightness of the direct relationship between the number of agricultural consumer cooperatives and the number of peasant farms - members of the agricultural consumer cooperatives (correlation coefficient is 0.56) and a weak relationship between the number of agricultural consumer cooperatives and the number of private subsidiary farms served by them (0.08) has been established. It is concluded that agricultural consumer cooperatives can have a significant impact on the formation of short supply food chains only in certain regions with a developed cooperative network. The results of the questionnaire of agricultural consumer cooperatives have revealed a number of interrelated problems concerning the sale of products, the need for the development of agricultural cooperative markets and other retail markets. It was proposed to manage markets and food chains in general on the basis of a corporate social responsibility model using rural web networks (Rural web).Conflict of interest: the authors stated that there was no conflict of interest.

The article presents the analysis of the development of peasant farm enterprises and agricultural consumers’ cooperatives as possible forms of farmers unification with the purpose of processing and selling their products. Over the past years, the number of peasant farm enterprises has decreased by 35%. The use of linear correlation coefficient has led to the conclusion that the number of peasant farm enterprises has little impact on the number of formed agricultural consumers’ cooperatives from the perspective of the federal subjects of the Russian Federation. The study of the correlation between PFE and APC shows a different picture: the correlation is more visible there. In the article we reveal the causes holding the development of farming and agricultural consumers’ cooperative, and propose activities that should help to increase the number of peasant farm enterprises and agricultural consumers’ cooperatives.

Purpose This is a national census of all worker cooperatives in the USA for 2017 implemented by the Democracy at Work Institute which is affiliated with the United States Federation of Worker Cooperatives, the largest worker cooperative association in the USA. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Longitudinal survey with descriptive analysis of results. Findings The author identified 394 worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces in all areas of the country in fiscal year 2017 (though early tracking for 2018 shows at least 400 such businesses). While the typical worker cooperative is small (about nine workers and about $588,600 gross annual revenue) and either recently launched, or converted to the form, there are many notable examples of very large and/or long lasting businesses. Together they employ an estimated 6,734 workers and produce about $467m in revenue each year. The following analysis attempts to outline the basic geographic, structural, economic and demographic features of these enterprises. Research limitations/implications The author reached out to this list of businesses via e-mail and telephone contact between August and November 2018. This included both members of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and non-members. The author asked participants to provide information based on their fiscal year 2017 performance. The survey asked similar questions to the prior year’s survey (e.g. total revenue, total assets, total wages, net income, total workers, total worker–owners, etc.), but also included some small changes in content, format and style. In total, 105 worker cooperatives responded and either fully or substantially completed the survey questions. All non-responsive firms were verified to be in business and operate as worker cooperatives in 2017 to the best of the author’s knowledge. Regardless of whether they responded, the author assigned all businesses an industry (NAICS) classification, foundational year and primary location based on basic internet research. This allowed the author to examine the larger universe when analyzing issues around the geography, age and industry of these enterprises. Additionally, internet research also allowed the author to add some other information about a portion of the non-responding worker cooperatives (e.g. number of workers, etc.) when such information was self-reported on their websites. Originality/value This is the only census of worker cooperatives done in the USA to the author’s knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the transition from the principle of abolishing the way of life structured around the individual (communal house) to socially stratified comfortable housing (a cooperative) in the second half of the 1920s and mid-1930s. Traditionally, housing cooperatives are interpreted as an instrument of proletarian social stratification. The author studies industrial housing cooperatives of scholars, characterising the specifics of their interaction with the local authorities, clarifying their social composition, and reconstructing the peculiarities underlying the functioning and financial discipline. Using the documentation of the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the author explores the history of several Moscow, Leningrad, and regional scholarly cooperatives. Also, the author separately considers the project of the House for academic staff in Omsk illustrating the publication with an architectural drawing of a typical layout of elite accommodation. The author concludes that a short period of housing cooperation, which unfolded during the first five-year plan, could contribute to the strengthening of social stratification (scholars were taken out of the framework of general civil norms for housing), stratification within the academic community (financially successful categories of scholars were singled out), reducing the severity of the housing problem in the provinces (due to the resettlement of visiting specialists). On the other hand, the brief period cannot be considered successful due to the instability of cooperatives for researchers in the system of working housing, the small number of cooperatives and efforts to increase their administrative enlargement, the vagueness of the boundaries between municipal and cooperative housing, and, finally, the financial burden of cooperatives for scholars (with high state credit costs).

The article examines the history of the development of cooperative forms of management from the standpoint of an evolutionary approach, taking into account the economic, social and legal features of their functioning on the basis of domestic and foreign experience. The historical development of cooperation was explored using archival data, which made it possible to identify the stages of development of cooperation, the institutional environment. The authors consider the institution of cooperation from the perspective of the concept of polarized development, suggesting that clusters in the modern economy repeat the functions of cooperatives. As part of the study, the authors carried out a historical analysis of foreign and domestic experience in the development of the institution of cooperation: the historical stages of development in Russia from 1831 to the present are highlighted: the first stage, 1831-1917; the second stage, 1917-1990; the third stage, 1991 to the present. On the basis of the analysis and systematization of archival data, the authors compared the development of the cooperative movement and the scale of returns from their activities, including on the basis of a study of statistical indicators that were demonstrated by commercial and industrial cooperation. The types and functions of cooperatives in world practice are considered, their role is determined in accordance with the mission of the International Cooperative Alliance. The authors investigated the legislation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Russian Federation in terms of defining the essence and regulation of the activities of cooperatives, which made it possible to identify the difference between the modern form of cooperatives and the historically established one. The authors conclude that entrepreneurs use the modern form of cooperatives in Russia as a tool to reduce the tax burden, and not as a tool for organizing activities, which has confirmed its effectiveness in domestic and world practice. On the basis of archival data, a sample of the subjects of the RSFSR, leading in the number of cooperatives and in the volume of products sold by cooperatives, was made, which formed the basis for mapping. In the article, based on the mapping method, a graphical representation of cooperatives and clusters is made as a modern heir to the cooperative movement (based on archival statistical data: by their number and main indicators of activity by economic regions, territories and regions), which made it possible to identify concentration points in the economic space on the modern map of Russia (Republic of Tatarstan, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Altai Krai, Moscow).

The article focuses on the need for career guidance in rural schools, the popularization of cooperative entrepreneurship, the results of the «school cooperation» project in the Kazan Cooperative Institute. The relevance of the topic touched upon in this article is due to the fact that today modern youth does not see the possibility of self-realization and a decent lifestyle in rural areas, in their small homeland. The development and promotion of the «school cooperation» project provides an opportunity for young people, students of rural schools to realize the possibilities of doing business in rural areas (and/or in cities) by engaging in cooperative entrepreneurship. Using the method of descriptive analysis of the data set and numerous surveys of rural schools, district administrations of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as other regions of the Russian Federation, it was concluded that modern youth does not seek to stay in rural areas. The monitoring made it possible to come to the conclusion that in many regions of the republic there is a personnel shortage of individual specialists. Results. Based on the data obtained, the directions of cooperation and the possibility of implementing the «Accelerator of School Cooperatives» project were proposed, which was highly appreciated by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, corresponds to the goals of national projects and subprojects. Popularization and development of cooperation will make it possible to create a full-cycle cooperation in the future. The materials of the article will be useful to the heads of district administrations, heads of secondary schools for the popularization of cooperative entrepreneurship and the organization of student cooperatives in the regions.

In Russia, agricultural cooperation is one of the successful forms of agricultural production. Democratic principles serve as the basic basis for the interaction of the cooperative movement system. The Federal Law “On Agricultural Cooperation” coordinates the activities of credit consumer and production agricultural cooperatives. Many subjects of the Russian Federation have adopted programs for the development of agricultural cooperation. Over the decade, the list of state measures to support cooperatives has increased significantly. The introduction of agricultural cooperation into the national project “Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and the development of individual entrepreneurial initiative” became natural. But, despite all the actions aimed at the development of agricultural cooperation, it is still in its infancy and needs fundamental changes in the current system. The article examines the role of agricultural cooperation in Russia at different stages of society development. The problems and advantages of the development of such cooperation, its impact on the development of the region are revealed.

Full textAbstract:
Network effects, economies of scale, and lock-in-effects increasingly lead to a concentration of digital resources and capabilities, hindering the free and equitable development of digital entrepreneurship, new skills, and jobs, especially in small communities and their small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). To ensure the affordability and accessibility of technologies, promote digital entrepreneurship and community well-being, and protect digital rights, we propose data cooperatives as a vehicle for secure, trusted, and sovereign data exchange. In post-pandemic times, community/SME-led cooperatives can play a vital role by ensuring that supply chains to support digital commons are uninterrupted, resilient, and decentralized. Digital commons and data sovereignty provide communities with affordable and easy access to information and the ability to collectively negotiate data-related decisions. Moreover, cooperative commons (a) provide access to the infrastructure that underpins the modern economy, (b) preserve property rights, and (c) ensure that privatization and monopolization do not further erode self-determination, especially in a world increasingly mediated by AI. Thus, governance plays a significant role in accelerating communities’/SMEs’ digital transformation and addressing their challenges. Cooperatives thrive on digital governance and standards such as open trusted application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that increase the efficiency, technological capabilities, and capacities of participants and, most importantly, integrate, enable, and accelerate the digital transformation of SMEs in the overall process. This review article analyses an array of transformative use cases that underline the potential of cooperative data governance. These case studies exemplify how data and platform cooperatives, through their innovative value creation mechanisms, can elevate digital commons and value chains to a new dimension of collaboration, thereby addressing pressing societal issues. Guided by our research aim, we propose a policy framework that supports the practical implementation of digital federation platforms and data cooperatives. This policy blueprint intends to facilitate sustainable development in both the Global South and North, fostering equitable and inclusive data governance strategies.

O objetivo geral foi analisar, a partir do federalismo cooperativo brasileiro, os principais obstáculos à avaliação das políticas públicas descentralizadas para uma vez mapeado os desafios, avançar no âmbito de uma melhor articulação entre os entes para futuras avaliações de políticas públicas. O método utilizado foi o dedutivo e como procedimento se utilizou da revisão bibliográfica e análise de documentação indireta. O trabalho se dividiu em dois grandes blocos. No primeiro, analisa-se o modelo de federalismo cooperativo à luz da Constituição brasileira de 1988, em especial, a repartição de competências federativas nas matérias que foram articuladas políticas públicas a partir de um agir cooperativo dos entes governamentais. Já no segundo, pretende-se estudar o processo de avaliação de políticas públicas, com análise de seus elementos, tipologias e critérios, para então verificar as dificuldades à avaliação de políticas públicas a partir da consideração das complexidades inerentes ao federalismo cooperativo brasileiro. Como conclusão principal, demonstrou-se a necessidade de adoção de critérios à avaliação de políticas que considerem a divisão de responsabilidades no planejamento e na implementação, além das capacidades diferenciadas de financiamento dos entes públicos quando das competências federativas cooperativas.

Relevance and novelty of the work. The article is devoted to the implementation of innovative entrepreneurship for the development of regional cooperation and the rapid development of the sharing economy in the Russian Federation. The relevance of this article is due to the need to digitize cooperatives in order to develop, expand the markets for their products.
The article examines situations that show how innovative entrepreneurship affects the development of the cooperative sector of the economy. The cooperative management model will be successful when it combines the functions of entrepreneurship, socialization and marketing. The struggle for a buyer in the absence of a marketing strategy in a cooperative is reduced to zero. Therefore, cooperative organizations need to choose the right marketing strategy that will allow them to effectively run their business.
A separate place in the article is devoted to the analysis of market dynamics within the framework of the sharing economy. Based on the analysis, the importance of the sharing economy is shown. The basis of the digital economy is the predominance of the share of knowledge and innovation over the sphere of production. For this reason, building a business model is essential. It is necessary to introduce new technologies, at the same time, studying the needs of customers and optimizing activities in all indicators.

This article is based on Financial Sustainability of Small Farmers Cooperative (SFC) in Mid-Western of Nepal. It attempts to provide the practices and their impacts of financial sustainability of SFC. As the cooperative movement originated from the philosophy of cooperation and later developed as a powerful tool to support to improve socio-economic position of resource poor, vulnerable, members of the lower caste people, women, labors and peasants, the SFC functions with the guiding philosophy of group principle, self-help development and institutionalization of networks at the grassroots level to reduce the scarcity. This study applied a descriptive and analytical research design using both primary (observation; questionnaires, focused group discussion) and secondary (Department of Cooperative (DoC), Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), and National Cooperative Federation of Nepal (NCF/N and annual report of sampled cooperatives) sources of data. After the analysis and interpretation of data, a number of contributions were found such as saving collection, credit investment, socio-economic development etc. The SFCs were found to be guided by self-governing norms and shares were issued to the members who are empowered with one member one vote for the general assembly purpose. The institutions function for socio-economic development with the strong policy of being apolitical and unbiased with no discrimination of any kind on religion and gender basis. The socio-economic position of cooperative members has changed through income generating programs. This study is concentrated on perception study of the financial sustainability of Small Farmer Cooperative (SFC) for the economic as well as financial development.

Full textAbstract:
Resource sharing can gain economies of scale and increase utilization of cloud infrastructure, a critical challenge of which is how to design efficient resource sharing solutions among self-interested cloud providers. Cloud federation can realize resource sharing, but the existing methods of forming federation need complex computation to guarantee the stability of federation. To address this shortcoming, after analyzing an optimal allocation approach of service requests among clouds, we propose a pareto optimal resource sharing solution named Cloud Light-Federation Sharing (CLFS), in which each cloud can choose its own optimal strategies individually and federation can be formed without complex computation for allocation of service requests and profits. In addition, an optimal resource sharing solution named Cloud Cooperative-Federation Sharing (CCFS) was also designed, in which cloud providers are fully cooperative and have fair profit allocation. The experimental results show that the two federation methods can significantly improve the total utility and decrease the number of dropped jobs. Although the federation rules of Cloud Light-Federation Sharing are simple, its performance is still very close to that of Cloud Cooperative-Federation Sharing.

O Estado de Direito contemporâneo se depara com dois desafios centrais: superar as desigualdades econômicas e as injustiças ambientais. Para enfrentá-los, países como o Brasil, que adotam o modelo federativo, devem priorizar soluçõessistêmicas e cooperativas entre os entes da federação. Nesse contexto, a compreensão da multidimensionalidade do bem-estar e da sustentabilidade redefine os contornos cognitivos da proteção dos direitos fundamentais socioambientais, influenciando diretamente a noção de mínimo existencial socioambiental, objetivo fundamental da cooperação federativa regulamentada na Lei Complementar n. 140/2011. Uma efetiva cooperação federativa em matéria ambiental, no âmbito executivo, não pode se furtar do enfrentamento de problemas tradicionais do Estado de Direito brasileiro, sob pena da não concretização do atual marco normativo constitucional. AbstractThis paper aims to analyze the importance of understanding the multidimensionality of welfare for a redefinition of the normative content of the notion of socio-environmental existential minimum, tracing, from this redefinition, a new understanding about the Brazilian cooperative environmental federalism. It was adopted dialectical method of approach, from doctrinal contributions. Thus, it was possible to verify that the contemporary Rule of Law faces two central challenges: overcoming economic inequalities and environmental injustices. To face them, countries like Brazil, that adopt the federative model, should prioritize systemic and cooperatives solutions in the Federation. The federal cooperation that guides socioenvironmental public policies in Brazil shall be by reference the paradigmatic notions of socio-environmental existential minimum and well-being. The duties of state protection in environmental matters arising out of the current Brazilian constitutional legal framework incorporate thus the referential no less paradigmatic of sustainability as its primary aim.

At the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, in line with the state economic policy of the time, which was aimed at industrialisation and cooperativisation, and also as part of the implementation of measures to promote a settled way of life for nomadic Gypsies, the Kalderash Gypsies became actively involved within cooperatives and started establishing artels (Gypsy production cooperatives). This article analyses the issue of Gypsy artels, their manufacturing activities, the reasons why they flourished, their decline and their subsequent repression. The study is based on documents from the central and regional archives of the Russian Federation. The historical experience of that period was especially important for the Kalderash community—the establishing of artels helped them to adapt to the emerging economic reality of Soviet society. Indeed, during the following decades artel cooperative associations remained the main form of production and economic interaction with enterprises and organisations. As such, artels existed until the 1980s and then continued to exist within the new economic conditions of the post-Soviet period. Later on, the state never provided special support towards the creation of the Gypsy production associations and took more severe measures to implement its policy. The experience of these cooperatives has also remained a vibrant part of historic tales and been firmly instilled in family oral histories. The historical experience of that period is therefore important for understanding and building a modern policy towards the Gypsy population and solving their social and economic issues.

Relevance. The problem of the dynamic development of agricultural cooperation is again becoming a priority item on the agenda of agricultural producers, politicians and scientists, due to new complexities and challenges of a political, climatic, biological and other nature. One of its points is the assessment of the quality of the institutional environment for the functioning of agrarian cooperatives, in connection with which the purpose of the study presented in the article is the review and analysis of its content, moreover, taking into account the existing regional characteristics. Methods. To study and assess the state of formal and informal institutions that favor or restrict the activities of cooperatives, the work uses qualitative and quantitative survey and analytical methods (in particular, formal-logical, historical, cultural, comparative) and corresponding tools. At the same time, the empirical base was made up of statistical information from Rosstat and its regional body (Department of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Sverdlovsk region and the Kurgan region), as well as materials obtained as a result of sociological surveys, including in-depth interviews with agricultural producers (actual and potential participants in cooperation). Results. The main results of the study include theoretical and applied (rigorously verified) generalizations regarding: (1) the directions and degree of influence of the institutional environment on the success of agricultural cooperatives, (2) the possibilities of transforming the institutional environment in a positive direction for cooperation, (3) options for coordinated changes in formal and informal institutions for the formation of positive trends in the development of agricultural cooperation. The main conclusion is that, while informal institutions, being conservative and immobile, significantly impede the rapid and effective formation of agricultural cooperatives in the Russian Federation, it is the formal environment, which has great potential for timely adaptation, that is able to neutralize some of the serious obstacles to successful evolution of cooperative practices in agricultural sector.

AbstractIn this article, we investigate a possible conflict between two core objectives of cooperatives, members’ income, and continuity, by examining the link between debt and the price paid to producers for Bordeaux wine cooperatives, according to their downstream strategies: (1) the traditional strategy, which is to sell wine in bulk to négociants; (2) joining a federation of cooperatives which blends and puts the wine in the retail market; and (3) vertical integration. We show that downstream strategies are related to different lending regimes, making the relationship between banks and cooperatives a key issue for the lifecycle of cooperatives.

The present study is conducted to have an overview of women participation in cooperative movement through Women Dairy Cooperative Societies (WDCS) in Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana districts of Punjab. For the study, response of 120 women WDCS members (40 members from each district) was taken and analysed. Data was collected with the help of structured questionnaire comprising of different type of questions regarding their participation and level of involvement in the societies. The result of the study reveals that women societies constitute only 19.67% of total societies in the three district and 21.57% at state federation level. Only 0.83% members had ever attended any training programme whereas 11.67% are unaware about it. The result shows that only 22.5% members attended the meetings held at the society level. It has been reported in the current study that members of Hoshiarpur district have no medicine and veterinary services provided by the union. In case of women socio-economic empowerment through decision making or control of finances at household level, the scenario is challenging. Only 33.3% have their personal bank accounts and 37.5% have freedom in expenditure. The results of the research suggest that though progressive steps are taken by the Milkfed, yet for optimum participation of women in cooperatives require more serious efforts through productive meetings and training programmes.

Full textAbstract:
Fishing is a traditional activity in Kerala because from time immemorial fishermen community involved in both marine and inland fishing for their livelihood. To develop the fishermen community and to solve their socio-economic problems, fisheries co-operatives were established. MATSYAFED is acting as the apex level institution for all the primary level fishermen co-operatives in Kerala. A humble attempt was made to conduct a study on “Financial Performance Evaluation of Kerala State Co-operative Federation for Fisheries Development Limited (MATSYAFED)” to evaluate its financial performance. The tools used for the analysis of the data were ratio analysis and compound annual growth rate (CAGR). From the financial performance analysis, it is evident that they have a strong short-term liquidity position and have a good inventory turnover ratio. The debt-equity ratio is higher than the rule of thumb (1:1). i.e., debt is higher than equity. The ratio analysis reveals that the MATSYAFED is efficiently managing its funds to various schemes and programs for the development of the fishermen community. As a whole, compared with many other apex cooperative federations, MATSYAFED is performing better, thanks to the management team.
