“…As a group, it is easier for external agencies to support and transfer knowledge to members through the farmer group rather than directly to individual farmers ( Fischer and Qaim, 2012 ; Abdul-Rahaman and Abdulai, 2020 ; Kramol et al., 2020 ). In a sense, those groups worked as an institutional mechanism to provide access to markets, reduce transaction costs, and minimize market failures, especially in developing countries ( Poapongsakorn et al., 2019 ; Kramol et al., 2020 ; Kumse et al., 2021 ). Most of small-scale farmers produce small quantities of outputs for sale, and individually possess little bargaining power with traders and often accept the price in favor of the traders.…”

“…Based on the data in Table 4.7 above, it shows that both tomatoes and chilies, which have the highest marketing efficiency are in marketing channel I compared to marketing channel II. Efficiency in channel I can be achieved due to a shorter marketing chain (Novita & Prajanti, 2020;Patel & Tsionas, 2022), because the longer the marketing chain and the more marketing agencies involved, the higher the marketing costs required (Kumse et al, 2021;Nurfadila et al, 2021). This is related to activities that include packaging, transportation and the existence of a loss in marketing or marketing loss(Siong Chung & Low, 2021; Xie et al, 2021).…”

Many factors cause why farmers do not have the ability to maintain their socio-economic life, mainly because it is difficult to obtain fresh funds, unavailability of production facilities and supporting factors such as fertilizers, superior seeds, counseling, and the low attention of local and central governments.Explorative and developmental research, which focuses on exploratory activities in providing an overview in mapping the profile of farmers, including the supply chain of vegetables sold to the capital city of Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi Province as well as a trading center and government. The research was carried out around the areas affected by the Jono Oge and Sidondo Earthquake and Liquefaction of Sigi Regency to look at the marketing chain and Palu City to see the supply chain at the Masomba and Manonda traditional markets, while to see the perpetrators of the trade system were traced based on the location of the traders and suppliers domiciled. To find out the suppliers in the traditional market, a careful identification is carried out so that the percentage (share) of suppliers outside Jono Oge can be known.The data analysis used in this research is descriptive.The longer the marketing chain in the tomato and chili vegetable trading system in the research area around Jono Oge and Sidondo which was affected by the earthquake and liquefaction, the more inefficient it will be. Thus, marketing channel I for both tomatoes and chilies is the one that gives a higher Farmer’s Share value and is more efficient than marketing channel II. All institutions involved in the marketing chain, from farmers, traders to retailers, carry out marketing functions, namely buying, selling, transportation, storage, processing, standardization and grading, financing, risk management, and market information. The margin share of producer farmers in each marketing channel for each tomato and chili is 84% and 89.74%, respectively.

“…The paper by Neves et al [21] conducts an initial analysis of the heterogeneity of Brazilian cooperativism in its different regions). A number of studies have investigated the effect of cooperative membership on farmers' production and/or income for specific regions or commodities [13,[22][23][24][25]. Cazzuffi [22] found that cooperative membership increased the income of milk producers in three Italian provinces, especially among small farmers and those distant from consumer centers.…”

“…Also in Rwanda, Ortega et al [24] found that cooperative membership increased the income of coffee producers, as well as their access to inputs. Kumse et al [25] focused on the marketing component of cooperatives for rice farmers in Thailand and found that marketing through cooperatives had a direct effect and a spillover effect on prices.…”

Much of the established literature on agricultural cooperatives describes their myriad contributions to farmers’ economic performance. In Brazil, one of the world’s leading agricultural exporters, there were more than 1500 agricultural cooperatives with 1 million members in 2020, and in 2017, 11% of all Brazilian farms were associated with one of these cooperatives. In this paper, we estimate the factors associated with the municipality share of cooperative membership (MSCM) and how municipality-level production value changes with MSCM. Our analysis is at the municipality level using aggregate data from the 2017 Agricultural Census. We find that in Brazil, higher education and smaller property sizes are associated with membership in agricultural cooperatives. To estimate how MSCM is associated with farm profits, we use a generalized propensity score and find that an increase in MSCM increases net municipal farm income, driven mostly by an increase in the value of agricultural production compared to a smaller increase in the cost of production.
