Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 1995.

The Sudanese agricultural sector has three subsectors--irrigated, mechanized, and the traditional. The small farmers and their rural communities in the traditional subsector are facing many problems. Examples include absence of modern inputs, reliance on hand tools, human labor, and unavailability of a credit system. These result in small size farmers, and their rural communities facing low standard of living and a lack of political power.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The Sudanese agricultural sector has three subsectors--irrigated, mechanized, and the traditional. The small farmers and their rural communities in the traditional subsector are facing many problems. Examples include absence of modern inputs, reliance on hand tools, human labor, and unavailability of a credit system. These result in small size farmers, and their rural communities facing low standard of living and a lack of political power.
520 $a Cooperative organizations have allowed some farmers to help themselves and thus their communities toward improve production and enhance their income. This study proposed to investigate the impact of supply cooperatives on farmer net income and its resulting effect on community development due to membership in established agricultural cooperatives. Specifically, the focus is on groundnut production within western Sudan.
520 $a Agricultural cooperatives can increase their members' groundnut production by providing them with credit and modern inputs. As a result, members' net income increases. The increase in income then spills over into the community when individuals spend their income locally, thus leading to an expansion of the local economy.
520 $a For the econometric analysis, average net income per mukhamus (.73 hectare) of groundnut produced is used as the dependent variable. It was computed by subtracting total costs (production and marketing costs) from total gross income. In calculating the total cost, labor was evaluated at its opportunity cost.
520 $a The overall econometric specification of the model fit the data very well as evidenced by R square value of 0.4601 and a model 0.0001. With respect to the finding of the study, the most important variable in the model is cooperative membership. The farmers' average net income was found to be significantly affected by the cooperative membership; there exists a positive relationship between being a cooperative member and average net income per mukhamus of groundnut. This result indicates that the cooperative contributes to its members' average net income from groundnut. This indicates that if farmers in western Sudan join cooperatives, their net earnings can be improved. In addition, agricultural cooperatives were hypothesized to have positive impacts on their communities.
520 $a The results also show that cooperative communities enjoy more public goods than noncooperative communities. That is because the cooperatives succeed in providing their communities with public goods or by lobbying the government to provide public goods to their communities.
520 $a In conclusion, this study is consistent with other studies cited in the literature concerning traditional farmers in the developing countries and provide an empirical evidence that cooperative can be a starting point for community development.
