Abstract: In the agro-food system, the vertical co-ordination in the form of co-operatives has considerable importance. In this paper, we present a function that synthesises the specific economic role of agricultural co-operatives. In the empirical research, we link the performance of Portuguese Wine Co-operatives (PWCs) and the skills of the human resource employed by them. The results of the multinomial logit model show that the PWCs are able to improve that performance through the recruitment of skilled professionals in the areas of wine production, management and by delegating more decision-making powers from the Board to professional managers.
