The first section is an index by type of product, and the second section is an alphabetical listing that provides more details and contact information. A general description of each cooperative's products is reported under the heading "Commodities Exported." In some cases a commodity name is followed by a dash and a detailed breakdown of various types is listed for that commodity. For example: "Seeds - alfalfa, ladino clovers, Sudan grass, and safflower." Information about packaging is included for a few cooperative products and is reported in parentheses under the heading "Commodities Exported." In addition, some cooperatives have jointly established trading organizations and these are also referred to in parentheses under the heading "Commodities Exported." A listing in this directory is voluntary and there are no membership or organization affiliation requirements. About 3,719 agricultural marketing cooperatives operate in the U.S., and 91 of this group are listed. This directory includes cooperatives that are capable of responding to inquiries and carrying out export transactions themselves or with third party representation. The selection of cooperatives for the directory is influenced by the expected interest on the part of importers for the type of products that cooperatives offer. A technical definition of what constitutes an exporter did not strictly guide the selection proc- ess. For example, cooperatives with differentiated products that have some brand recognition in overseas markets are regarded as exporters, even if they never directly transact with importers. However, in the case of cooperatives with undifferentiated bulk commodities, those that are unable to directly transact with foreign buyers are not included. Importers interested in U.S. cooperatives that are not currently exporting may contact Agricultural Cooperative Service for assistance in identifying those organizations. This directory will be periodically updated and revised.

  • Directory of Rural—Farmer, Rancher, and Fishery Cooperatives
    1 Directory of Rural—Farmer, Rancher, and Fishery Cooperatives Introduction This directory contains a listing, by State, of almost 1,500 farmer-owned marketing, supply, service, fishery, and bargaining cooperatives. The information was collected from every farmer, rancher, and fishery cooperative that USDA Rural Development’s Cooperative Programs surveyed and that gave permission to be listed in this directory. The information includes the cooperative’s contact information, type of cooperative, and products that they sell. This directory is updated on a regular basis on our Web page http://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/all- programs/cooperative-programs. Cooperatives are classified according to type. Most are marketing, supply, service, bargaining, or a combination. Marketing cooperatives assemble and market commodities produced mostly by their farmer-members and may or may not engage in processing. Supply cooperatives purchase and/or manufacture farm production supplies for distribution, mostly to farmer or rancher-members. Service cooperatives perform a range of farm production and management- related services, such as grove care, agronomic services, financial and management consulting, artificial insemination and herd management, transportation, and storage. Bargaining cooperatives negotiate price, quality, and delivery terms with buyers on behalf of their members, but typically do not take title to commodities. We extend our appreciation to the cooperatives that provided the information for this updated report. Cooperatives and

  • SR 57 Cooperative Restructuring, 1989
    United States Department of Agriculture Rural Business- Cooperative Service Service Report 57 Abstract This report catalogs information on many of the strategic restructuring activities involv- ing agricultural cooperatives over the past 10 years. Cooperatives are looking to restructure their organizations in more advantageous ways. Unifications, joint ventures, agreements, strategic alliances, expansions, contractions, or revamping of operations have been taking place in various capacities. This document lists 346 restructuring activities of agricultural cooperatives. The period covered is from January 1989 through July of 1998. Activities are listed, naming the cooperative(s) involved, the type of activity, and a brief description of what occurred and where. Keywords: restructuring activity, unification, joint venture, expansion, contraction, agreement, revamp Cooperative Restructuring, 1989-l 998 James J. Wadsworth USDA Rural Business-Cooperative Service Service Report 57 November 1998 Price: Domestic-$5; foreign-$5.50 Preface Agricultural cooperatives have been making many kinds of restructuring changes over the years that can be identified. They range from mergers and consolidations to expan- sions and contractions. Agreements and joint ventures are commonplace. Agricultural markets across the nation are being affected by what has occurred. More changes are inevitable. If the past 10 years are any indication, the future cooperative environment will be marked by many interesting changes. Studying the past can provide a glimpse of what to expect in the future. This report catalogs almost 10 years of cooperative restructuring activities. Most were gleaned from reportings in USDA’s Rural Cooperatives magazine (formerly Farmer Cooperatives) and recent news sources. Listings provide cooperative names, the type of activity, and when and where it occurred.
