CAMPOS CLIMENT, Vanessa e CHAVES AVILA, Rafael. The Role of Cooperatives in the Agrarian Crisis: An Empirical Study on Mediterranean Spanish Agriculture. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.69, pp.175-194. ISSN 0122-1450.
The objective of this paper is to identify the determining factors of the agrarian crisis in Mediterranean Spain and the solutions agricultural cooperatives could provide. The methodology consists of the application of the Delphi Method through a questionnaire presented to experts in 2011. The conclusion of this study is that agricultural cooperatives represent an appropriate formula for facing threats and weaknesses in this sector. Implementing a competitive differentiation strategy based on quality is compatible with strategies to reduce production prices through the concentration of agricultural supply. Strategic alliances have the power to set up strategies aimed at improving professionalisation in management.
