Abstract:
The overall goal of the study was to determine how cooperative societies affected the marketing of agricultural goods in the Loro Sub County, Oyam district. The study's specific goals were to (a) characterize cooperative members' socioeconomic characteristics (b) gauge cooperative members' opinions of the organizations' performance (c) and identify the variables that affect the quantity of product that cooperative members in the Loro subcounty sell. A cross-sectional research methodology was adopted, and a sample of 160 farmers will be chosen using both basic random and purposeful selection methods. The structured questionnaire will be utilized for data gathering. It is necessary to use both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques. Excel software was used to evaluate the quantitative data. The majority of respondents are female and between the ages of 35 and 45. The study finds that radio programs, government extension agents, Nonprofits, and cooperatives are the main sources of extension services for farmers. According to the findings, the buyers, government extension agents, NGOs, and radio programs are the sources of market information for farmers. Therefore, the study suggests that the government develop strategies to give farmers and other important stakeholders more power. It also suggests that the government and all other actors involved implement comprehensive strategies and strengthen the enforcement of laws pertaining to agricultural disease control and management. Further technical studies are also advised in order to glean more scientific information and involve external partners.
