THE CONTRIBUTION OF
AGRICULTURE COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES TO FOOD PRODUCTION
ABSTRACT
Modern form of Co-operative leaves their origin in the
tension and opportunities created by industrialization and urbanization in the
nineteenth Century in Europe. Much of the early interested in co-operative
structure seemed from deep regards to the social consequence of industrial
capitalism, critics of the new order not simply a framework for business
organisation but also as a vehicle for the reutilization of radical social and
political goals. However, much concepts of c-operative have been erased the claims
of earlier social prophets, a residual belief remains that co-operators are
motivated by group interest as well as self interest, and that non-economic as
well as economic objectives may be pursued.
Other of these propositions present difficulties through not inseparable
one’s in terms of applying economic analysis to the study of applying economic
analysis to the study of Co-operatives, it is pertinently imperative and a
restrictive device of immense capacity that co-operative organisations have paid
the way for the new economic and social order not only for those, ‘depressed’
in the economy who (mostly of less privileged) are at the receiving end, the
logical and social justice, which they embody, but in our ability to translate
them concretely and realistically from social theory into social fact and to
make them effective in our daily live. We must always remember that
co-operative are organizations of by and for members therefore they are
designed to respond to the needs of members. Agricultural Co-operative has
created for the economic charge, for increasing in food produce, for building a
better or a more just and equitable society.
They serve to give individuals through voluntary co-operation and mutual
assistance, control or bit of their destiny to make people in some way asters
of their own fate, subjects and not objects of their history. Co-operatives are of course pragmatic
institution noted in reality of concerts goals.
