| Description | "This study therefore, aims at assessing the performance of primary coffee marketing cooperatives and thereby to identify factors that impede members’ satisfaction. To evaluate the performance of coffee marketing cooperatives in the study area, financial ratios was computed based on annual audit reports of the cooperatives. Here, efficiency ratios, income ratios and creditworthiness ratios were calculated as performance indicators. As a result, almost all the coffee marketing cooperatives in the study area were performing their business inefficiently. Probit regression model was also employed to identify factors influencing the members’ satisfaction taking the overall cooperatives performance, the adequacy and context of services rendered by the cooperatives, and the major services as function of socio-economic and institutional explanatory variables.
