Processing products for the consumer or industrial markets. Marketing cooperatives enable producers to 1) correct market failure where prices are too low or buyers have left the market; 2) provide a service not available otherwise; 3) gain market power (negotiating power) against much larger buyers; 4) spread risks and costs; and 5) have enough volume to operate a processing plant efficiently or enough to meet the demands of buyers. Marketing cooperatives are found in every region of the United States and handle most types of farm product. The importance of these cooperatives to particular commodity sectors varies.
Dear Mirna thank for your kindly opinion, I meant the criteria to measure Agricultural Marketing Cooperative
The cooperative will be successful, if it can help producers to compete in their products not only market them in good quality and good prices.
Please do web search on India. The new age Co-ops called Producer Companies are doing well.
in broader sense, to gauge the success of Ag Cooperatives, you need to examine its economic viability, organisational structure & maturity and sustainability.
