Optimal cooperative pools for California avocados

Abstract

Pooling is a method of allocating net revenues. Marketing cooperatives that adopt this method to determine members’ returns face conflicting objectives when choosing a set of pools. Using numerous pools avoids inequity and maintains incentives, while using few pools achieves savings and spreads risks. This study proposes a method for selecting a reasonable compromise. From this viewpoint it appraises 31 possibilities in pooling California avocados.
