| Summary: | Malaysia targets cooperatives sector to be the third engine of economic development in
the 9th Malaysian plan and to increase its contribution to 5% of Malaysian GDP in 2013
from 1% in 2008. This study investigates factors that affect performance of agricultural
cooperatives in Malaysia. Production function is used as a guide to measure how much
input (farm size, share capital, labor and energy cost) is needed to produce goods and
services (sales). Panel data analysis or random effect model in particular is used to
measure economic efficiency of agricultural cooperatives. The data used is from yearly
financial report of Malaysian agricultural cooperative from 2004-2007. The result
indicates that only labor is significant in determining sales of cooperatives. |
