 INTRODUCTION
A marketing cooperative is an organization owned and operated by a group of farmers who produce similar products. Farmers join a marketing cooperative to gain more control in marketing their products so they can: increase the price they receive for their products; reduce the costs of marketing their produce and of obtaining agricultural inputs such as seed and fertilizer; and make the market for their goods more secure.
The marketing cooperative (or co-op) accomplishes these objectives by: performing certain functions such as packing, storing, cooling, shipping, promoting, and selling; negotiating for better market terms because of volume and variety offered by their members; and buying production supplies (seeds, fertilizer, containers, etc.) in large volumes at lower prices.
Marketing cooperatives help to sell their members' farm products and maximize the return that they receive for these goods.  Their operations can be quite diversified and complex.  Some marketing cooperatives perform a limited number of functions, while others vertically integrate their operations so that they perform more functions that add value to their members' products as they move from the farm to the consumer.  Some cooperatives even sell products in grocery stores under their own brand name; Land O' Lakes and Ocean Spray are two prominent examples.   Marketing cooperatives can serve their members in many ways, including bargaining for better prices, storing and selling members' grain, and processing farm products into more consumer-ready goods.  In the United States, agricultural cooperatives handle about 30 percent of farmers' total farm marketing volume (Mother et al.).
