Konkurencinio kriterijaus teorija (competitive yardstick) paaiškina, kaip oliogopsoninėje rinkoje, kurioje vyrauja pelną maksimizuojančios perdirbimo bendrovės, kooperatyvai užtikrina aukštesnes žemės ūkio produktų kainas regione (Müller, Hanisch, Malvido, Rommel, Sagebiel, 2018).…”

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama, kokiu mastu ir kokiu būdu kooperatyvai atstovauja mažų ūkių interesams žemės ūkio produktų rinkoje. Empiriniu tyrimu siekiama nustatyti mažų ūkių įsitraukimo į formaliąją kooperaciją mastą ir kooperatyvų daromą poveikį jų parduodamų produktų kainoms Lietuvoje. Tyrimas grindžiamas konkurencinio kriterijaus, kaip kainų reguliatorius rinkoje, teorija, teigiančia, kad kooperatyvo egzistavimas oligopsoninėje rinkoje privers pelną maksimizuojančias įmones elgtis konkurencingiau. Kooperatyvui pasiūlius palankesnes kainas ūkininkams dėl savo įprastos praktikos teikti nariams paslaugas už savikainą, pelną maksimizuojančios perdirbimo bendrovės, siekdamos neprarasti žaliavos tiekėjų, stengiasi mokėti panašiai tiek, kiek moka kooperatyvai. Apklausos būdu nustatyta, kad Lietuvoje nedidelė mažų ūkių dalis savo pagamintą maistą ir žemės ūkio produktus parduoda per kooperatyvus ir kad tik daliai jų kooperatyvai užtikrina didesnę kainą. Atlikus ŽŪIKVC PAIS duomenų apie pirkėjų mokamą kainą už žalio pieno kilogramą analizę, gauta tokia pagrindinė išvada: Lietuvoje didžioji dalis kooperatyvų mažiems pieno gamintojams moka didesnę kainą nei penkių didžiausių pieno perdirbimo akcinių bendrovių nustatyta minimali kaina, o apie penktadalis kooperatyvų žiemos sezonu ir ne daugiau nei trečdalis kooperatyvų vasaros sezonu mokėjo didesnę kainą nei tų pačių akcinių bendrovių nustatyta maksimali kaina.

“…For the successful functioning of cooperatives, the context in which they operate is important (Kerlin, 2017;Urbano et al, 2017;Kispál-Vitai et al, 2019). Social cooperatives usually develop thanks to the enthusiasm of leaders who want to take advantage of the social advantages of cooperatives (Pansera and Rizzi, 2020).…”

Purpose:The aim of this study is to examine the economic effectiveness of Polish social cooperatives operating in the tourism and events sector and the factors determining this effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach: The study used such research methods and techniques as, analysis of primary and secondary documents, dynamics indexes, sales profitability analysis. The documents enabling the determination of the economic situation of the cooperative were the current financial statements, balance sheets, profit and loss accounts and reports on activities obtained from the National Court Register. The selection of a cooperative for research was guided by the fact that the financial statements had been submitted and that it had been operating on the market for at least 3 years. The research covers data up to and including 2019, i.e., from the period before COVID-19. All Polish social cooperatives operating in the tourism and events industry were analyzed. Findings: In the years 2006-2017, 168 cooperatives were established in Poland in the area of tourism and events, 64% of which are in operation. Despite the obtained financial support, 61 (36%) entities, including (82%) established by natural persons, did not survive. The results of this study show that the financial condition of social cooperatives operating in the field of tourism and events is poor. Only 26% of them achieve profits, 50% balance their activities with a small profit, and 24% achieve no profit and have declining revenues. Almost half (48%) of the surveyed entities generate annual revenues of up to PLN 100 thous., and 36% in the range from PLN 100 to 300 thous. Research shows that the economic efficiency of cooperatives results mainly from their legal form and the possibility of diversifying their activities. Practical implications: The research results are helpful for organizations supporting activities in the field of social economy and social cooperatives. In order to improve the functioning and increase the number of social cooperatives operating in the tourism industry and to improve their economic efficiency, it is necessary to change the way of their management and legislative changes. Originality/value: For the first time, all Polish social cooperatives operating in the field of tourism and events were analyzed and a critical analysis of the financial situation of social cooperatives was made in relation to their legal form.

Profile of the Small-Scale Farms Willing to Cooperate—Evidence from Lithuania

Cooperatives cover a large part of the agricultural sectors and have substantial market shares in agri-food supply chains in the EU Western countries. They account for approximately half of agricultural trade in the EU. By contrast, in the EU Western countries, where farmer cooperatives are widespread and successful, agricultural cooperation in Lithuania has developed intermittently in the last century. We still have very limited knowledge of why the country’s agricultural producers (especially smallholder farmers) are reluctant to cooperate in Lithuania. The aim of this study is to assess the level of the willingness to cooperate among smallholder farmers in Lithuania and to draw up the profiles of small-scale farms that participate in and intend to join cooperatives and, conversely, that do not participate in cooperatives and do not intend to do so. To achieve this goal, a representative survey of small-scale farms was conducted. Results of surveys carried out in 2019 in Lithuania on a group of 1002 small-scale farms showed that only 8% of the surveyed farms participate in producer groups or cooperatives, while another 8% intend to participate. Small-scale farms in Lithuania have weak market integration, with no bargaining power on input and output markets. The vast majority of small-scale farms are reluctant to participate in cooperative activities in Lithuania. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the profile of a small farm that tends to cooperate. The main social characteristics of farm managers and economic factors of farms willing to cooperate have been identified.
