Abstract: This study offers a model of analysis of the profitability of agricultural processing cooperatives based on agricultural products contributed by partners. The indexes of the model provide: 1) the degree of profitability of agricultural products contributed independent of income policy measures; 2) an estimate of conformity with the D.Lgs. n. 6/2003 law introduced in Italy on prevalent mutualism; 3) the effect of mutualism on the profitability of agricultural products contributed by partners. The applicability and the efficacy of the model have been verified on the basis of a firm study case.
