| Abstract | Sapiro’s article is silent on the advantage of federated cooperatives versus centralized marketing associations. My understanding is he accepted either form of organization, so long as it gave commodity control. Many California cooperatives started as federations but later became centralized. Given the market organizations of the 1990s, those cooperatives that still remain as federations will wish they were centralized. |
