Resumen
Descripción
New Generation Co-Operatives (NGCs) have become an increasingly popular method for
agricultural producers in the United States to capture a share of the downstream rents created
by the processing of their agricultural commodities. NGC development has been rapid in the
states of Minnesota and North Dakota, but in the neighbouring Canadian province of
Manitoba, there are almost no NGCs. After providing a background on NGCs and their unique
characteristics, this paper discusses five hypotheses for the comparatively low NGC adoption
rates in Manitoba compared to its neighbouring states. Higher farm income levels, better
availability of development assistance, and a more favourable regulatory framework are
identified as reasons why there are many more NGCs in Minnesota and North Dakota than
Manitoba.
