THE CONTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURE COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES TO FOOD PRODUCTION

ABSTRACT

Modern form of Co-operative leaves their origin in the tension and opportunities created by industrialization and urbanization in the nineteenth Century in Europe. Much of the early interested in co-operative structure seemed from deep regards to the social consequence of industrial capitalism, critics of the new order not simply a framework for business organisation but also as a vehicle for the reutilization of radical social and political goals. However, much concepts of c-operative have been erased the claims of earlier social prophets, a residual belief remains that co-operators are motivated by group interest as well as self interest, and that non-economic as well as economic objectives may be pursued. Other of these propositions present difficulties through not inseparable one’s in terms of applying economic analysis to the study of applying economic analysis to the study of Co-operatives, it is pertinently imperative and a restrictive device of immense capacity that co-operative organisations have paid the way for the new economic and social order not only for those, ‘depressed’ in the economy who (mostly of less privileged) are at the receiving end, the logical and social justice, which they embody, but in our ability to translate them concretely and realistically from social theory into social fact and to make them effective in our daily live. We must always remember that co-operative are organizations of by and for members therefore they are designed to respond to the needs of members. Agricultural Co-operative has created for the economic charge, for increasing in food produce, for building a better or a more just and equitable society. They serve to give individuals through voluntary co-operation and mutual assistance, control or bit of their destiny to make people in some way asters of their own fate, subjects and not objects of their history. Co-operatives are of course pragmatic institution noted in reality of concerts goals.

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Agriculture, from the beginning of time, the first concern of man has been food clothing and shelter in that order. Agriculture being one of the oldest industries, its origin can be traced to the earliest human societies. the existence of man fro the prehistoric era up to the era ancient civilization depended on the ability of the individual to hunt and gather food for consumption. Food was, however the basic source of life which provided him energy in his wondering and constant struggle for survival.

Agriculture is a basic industry that supports all industries and all aspects of needs can justify from its role and contributions to nation building. Between 75 – 80% of working population in rural areas engage in agriculture production (farming). Some are provide jobs in the industries e.g. textile industry, Breweries and shoe industry.

Agriculture aids in rural development, with the location of industries that utilize agricultural produce in an area other investors go to rural areas to set up factories trade and operate business centers people are employed and paid to earn their living. Agricultural provides industrial raw material, textile mills required cotton, and plastic industries use rubber/latex.

Agricultural involves operational clearing of the land and the breaking-up of surface soil, the sowing for seeds, the removal of the weeds from the farm, the harvesting and storage of crops which are disposed of by marketing and the breeding and rearing of animals. All these Co-operatives can do in a number of different, which involve amounts of labour, time, expense and productivity. Agricultural education is an area in agriculture that a concern with helping people to develop a desire to learn and teach agriculture. This is a change of behaviour towards agricultural practices.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Agricultural co-operatives are greatly involved in food production so as to improve the social and economic life of the members and the country as a whole.

In spite of these, agricultural co-operative are still experience low food production owning to some distributing factors, as it associated being studied.

1. High financial commitment in the formation of the agricultural co-operative of different size and types.

2. Members neglecting their obligations, participating in-group farm work in the farmland weeding, planting, harvesting and marketing of farm produce.

3. Procurement of farm inputs like high yielding seeds, stem and seeding, agro-chemical disinfectants and fertilizer.

4. Problems of marketing of produce and efficiently distribution and returns to inputs utilized.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

In food production the study is aimed all examining the role of Agriculture Co-operative food production so as to benefit members and the society as a whole. The purposes of this study are:

i. To identify the factor that can cause low food production in agriculture co-operative in (Enugu) North.

ii. To investigate whether problem identified are associated with the agriculture co-operative society.

iii. To investigate the farms of supports and incentives provided by the government to the agriculture co-operatives if there are any.

iv. To find out the ways and methods that can be used in solving the problems of low food productivity.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

To achieve the purpose or objectives of this study the following research questions were formulated.

i. What are the causes of the low food production among agriculture co-operative in Enugu North Local Government Area?

ii. To what extent are the problem identified applied or associated with the agriculture co-operative societies being studied?

iii. Do agricultural co-operative receive incentives from the government?

iv. What form does the incentives from government take?

v. What are the ways/methods that can afford possible solutions to the problems of low food production?

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The findings of this research work will enable the society to know what to do in order to improve or enhance the economic activities of the society. This research work will equally help the Federal government whose set objective is to use co-operative in rural development and increasing the production capacity of the country.

The producer of agricultural products will also benefit because their effective production will be assured through the effective and efficient management of the agricultural co-operatives in food production and there will be an increase in food supply and production in the country thereby leading to a fall in price of goods. When this is achieved, the consumers and the general public will benefit.

When there is an efficient and effective management of agricultural produce in food production, the co-operative societies especially the rural based ones, it will help in development recommendations of this research work will also be of great benefit to other co-operative societies in the country as it well served as reference material from them.

Interest in this study was as a result of poor performance of these MFIs as indicated in the AMFIU Annual report of 2006. The study therefore sought to determine if this could be attributed to their ownership structures and therefore governance levels. A cross sectional survey design was used to undertake this study using a sample of 65 MFIs from which responses from 44 MFIs were received; giving a response rate of 67.7%. Findings of the study reveal that ownership structures and corporate governance are significant predictors of MFI performance accounting for 42.4%
