✦ Synopsis

Agricultural cooperatives o j e n face internal and external pressures to diversgy their businesses. Factors associated with a decision to diversify were examined in this study; results suggest that cooperatives that were larger and involved in input supply were more likely to diversify. In addition, the impact of diversijication on key performance measures for the cooperatives was examined. Diversijication had no statistical association wiih key performance areas ~pro~tability, patronage refunds, or equity redemption). Diversijication was associated with larger membership. On the basis of this study, diversification appears to have a neutral to modestly positive impact on cooperative performance. 01996
