What dividends will be given to members of agricultural cooperatives?
A. Members will receive dividends according to the amount of land they donated to the cooperative, and also according to the amount of their productive manual or intellectual labor. To pay this dividend, the total produce should be divided on a 50-50 basis – 50 percent should be given as wages and 50 percent should be paid to the shareholders in proportion to the land donated. Local people should always get first preference in participation in cooperatives. Developmental planning must be adopted to bring about equal development in all regions instead of just a few particular regions. Local wealth, resources and potentialities can all be utilized in this developmental planning.
