Thesis Abstract

<p> This research paper explores the crucial role of agricultural cooperatives in facilitating access to input and output markets for farmers. Agricultural cooperatives have long been recognized as effective mechanisms for collective action and market coordination in the agricultural sector. This study aims to analyze the various ways in which agricultural cooperatives enable farmers to overcome market barriers and enhance their access to essential inputs, such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery, as well as improve their access to output markets, including processing and distribution channels. The paper also examines the economic, social, and environmental impacts of agricultural cooperatives in promoting market access and enhancing the overall welfare of farmers. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the role of agricultural cooperatives in fostering inclusive and sustainable agricultural development. <br></p>
