      abstract = {Traditional farmer cooperatives, new generation farmer  cooperatives, and investor-owned firms (IOFs), are compared  regarding their value added and value added rate in terms  of product marketing. The results of the analysis regarding  the pear supply chain in Zhejiang province in China  indicate that IOFs obtain a higher value added or value  added rate than farmer cooperatives. New generation  cooperatives mitigate the under-investment problem of  traditional cooperatives in a certain extent. However,  farmer cooperatives have some advantages over  investor-owned firms in benefiting farmers.},
