In our research the operation of the cooperative was modelled as a generalised network problem. The cooperative provides more than 10% of Hungarian unprocessed pork. The members of the group show high heterogeneity both in production volume, and in production and breeding conditions as well. Live pigs are sold to 5 Hungarian slaughterhouses. On the input side, the goal of the cooperative is to provide breeding source materials of excellent quality and also forages of suitable value-price rate for plants with various technological potentials; on the output side, to realise the highest possible selling prices so that its members can receive higher incomes allowing them to take over more improved keeping methods. The model allows the quantification of the number of pigs from the mentioned farms to slaughterhouses, the maximum revenue from sales, the threshold prices of deliveries, and the analysis on the impacts that the members of co-operatives exert on sales revenues. The negative feedback of this information guarantees safety for the members of the network and provides knowledge that enables the production of homogenous end-product for maintaining competitiveness.
