CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING
The history of co-operative marketing in true sense of the term, began With the the inauguration of the Karad Sahakari Kharedi Vikri Society Limited in 1937 and since then many co-operative marketing institutions were established. However, the principle of co-operation did not prevail much in the field of marketing. Co-operative institutions in this district function mainly at places served by regulated markets. At Karad, there are two co-operative sale and purchase societies and one multipurpose society. There is a multipurpose society at Koregaon. and a taluka co-operative purchase; and sale society at Phaltan. At Satara, the Satara and Javli taluka cooperative purchase and sale society and the
Bahirdeo-Karanje multipurpose society function as commission agents in the market yard.
The following statement shows the business of these societies in 1957-58.
