Abstract

Co-operative movement in India has a long-standing contribution in the growth of business, agriculture and allied activities. One such cooperative movement in India is the Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative Limited (CAMPCO) which was initiated with a joint cooperation between the states of Karnataka and Kerala to create an organized market structure for the two plantation crops namely Arecanut and Cocoa in the backdrop of falling market price of these crops. CAMPCO is an interesting co-operative movement, worth investigating in terms of its evolution, challenges, growth and diversification. The paper tries to examine the factors responsible for justifying the existence of the Co-operative structure and its sustainability in the context of CAMPCO, using a modified cooperative life-cycle framework.

Bahasa Abstract

Gerakan koperasi di India telah lama memberikan kontribusi dalam pertumbuhan bisnis, pertanian, dan kegiatan terkait lainnya. Salah satu contoh gerakan koperasi tersebut adalah Central Areca nut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative Limited (CAMPCO). Gerakan ini dibentuk melalui kerjasama negara bagian Karnataka dan Kerala dengan tujuan menciptakan struktur pasar yang terorganisir bagi hasil panen kacang Areca dan coklat, ketika pasar kedua produk tersebut sedang jatuh. CAMPCO adalah contoh gerakan koperasi yang menarik untuk dipelajari secara mendalam terkait evolusi, tantangan, pertumbuhan dan diversifikasinya. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menjelaskan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh dalam mendorong munculnya struktur dan keberlanjutan CAMPCO dengan menggunakan kerangka siklus hidup koperasi yang dimodifikasi.
