Abstract

Using a data set developed by USDA/Rural Development Administration’s Cooperative Service, wealth creation by agricultural cooperatives was quantified by value-added measurement. Small sized cooperatives generated more value-added per member than medium-sized cooperatives. Cooperative type had less influence on value-added. Value-added amounts created per member were similar for marketing and supply cooperatives. Employees received the largest portion of value-added while members received the second largest. As marketing activity increased, the percentage of value-added going to members tended to increase.
