Abstract
Agricultural cooperative development in Indonesia is closely linked to government intervention. Policymakers have advocated for a federation system that integrates agricultural sector programmes with cooperatives at both national and rural levels. This study aims to assess the effects of such integration on the performance of agricultural cooperatives by analysing data from annual reports of cooperatives for 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, through the use of panel data regression and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), framed within Transaction Cost Theory (TCT), Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT), this research explores how federated integration affects cooperative performance. Various types of integrated services were examined to understand how their characteristics and implementation relate to performance outcomes. By linking theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence, this study provides detailed insights into how integration can enhance cooperative performance and underscores the importance of adapting integration strategies to evolving operational environments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
