This study aims to analyze the market share of marketing business in agricultural cooperatives in compared with individual sellers, joint selling bodies and local assemblers. To identify the market share among major sales bodies, the study utilizes Markov probability model and multinomial logit model. According to analysis result, market share and selling loyalty of marketing business in agricultural cooperatives is highest to other selling sources. But the influence over pricing process of agricultural cooperatives is inefficient to exert power in agricultural wholesale market.
