Member heterogeneity is often seen as a disadvantage of cooperatives.Though, a comprehensive understanding of member heterogeneity, its dimensions and impacts on member interests, organizations and their performance is still missing. The following literature review is intended to summarize the existing literature on member heterogeneity with a focus on agricultural cooperatives in order to provide further areas of research. Different dimensions of heterogeneity are identified and ways of measuring their impact on cooperative organization are proposed.

Since the 1990s, Argentinean dairy‐processing cooperatives have lost considerable amounts of members and market share. We analyse their current role by investigating the characteristics of farmers who continue delivering to them and price differentials between cooperatives and investor‐oriented firms (IOFs). A probit regression model applied to 917 farmers suggests that cooperative farmers are more disadvantaged than farmers delivering to IOFs in terms of education, farm size and productive technology. Moreover, t‐tests applied to data representing 70 per cent of national volume indicate that farmers delivering to cooperatives are between 11 per cent and 29 per cent smaller than those delivering to IOFs, depending on province. A hierarchical multilevel regression model applied to 9,720 transactions among farmers and processors shows that, after controlling for quantity and quality, cooperatives pay lower (3.5%) but more stable prices than IOFs. In a context of rapid structural change, we observe a market in which larger farmers deliver to IOFs and smaller farmers deliver to cooperatives and conclude that, at the expense of paying lower prices, cooperatives may act as buyers of last resort for otherwise disadvantaged farmers.

“…При этом акцент на нерыночных (экологических и социальных) результатах означает переход от традиционной производственной поддержки к нетривиальным направлениям помощи, учитывающим многофункциональные стратегии аграрной деятельности. В результате этого возникают дискуссии о направлениях государственного регулирования аграрного сектора, диапазоне и формах компенсаций аграрным кооперативам за оказание нетоварных (экологически и социально важных) услуг, роли общественных преференций как в спецификации феномена сельскохозяйственных кооперативных организаций, так и в определении направлений аграрной политики в отношении их деятельности [9].…”

Ключевые слова: сельское хозяйство, сельскохозяйственный потребительский кооператив, многофункциональность деятельности кооператива, общественные преференции, аграрная политика. В статье представлены результаты исследовательской работы по вопросу многофункциональности деятельности современных аграрных кооперативов. Обращается внимание на особую миссию уникальных коллективных артефактов (сельскохозяйственных потребительских кооперативов) в решении социальных и экологических проблем современного села, развитии сельских территорий, сохранении сельских сообществ. Спецификация и ранжирование преференций сельского населения относительно основных и дополнительных (экономических, социальных, экологических) функций аграрных кооперативов осуществлены методами условных оценок и аналитической иерархии. Многофункциональность деятельности аграрных кооперативов в современных условиях среды предложено использовать в качестве основы для уточнения концептуального подхода к исследованию развития сельскохозяйственной кооперации, разработке трендов организационных инноваций в сфере кооперативной деятельности, определению направлений и инструментов государственной поддержки (создаваемых и уже функционирующих) сельскохозяйственных потребительских кооперативов.
