No 348443, Service Reports (SR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development

Abstract: This report covers the development, growth, and present status of fruit and vegetable cooperatives that market, process, and bargain. It summarizes information on number, size, and type of associations; number of member-patrons; commodities handled; marketing functions and other services performed; and operating methods. The data upon which this report is based came from a study of fruit and vegetable cooperatives made by Farmer Cooperative Service (FCS) in 1965, supplemented by information in the files of the Cooperative Appraisal Division of FCS.
