The paper presents a comparative analysis of dairy cooperatives according to both quality of management and quality of production. The study results indicated that in regard to employment structure based on the level of education, the disparities between cooperatives of the A group and “Swietokrzyskie” (B group) cooperatives were quite remarkable – in the first group of cooperatives the proportion of employees with higher education was double of that in the second group. The figures also suggest clearer differences when milk quality is taken into consideration. In cooperatives of the A group, the extra class milk noted a threefold higher percentage (76.2%) of total purchased milk than in the “Swietokrzyskie” cooperatives, whereas, respectively, the average procurement price of milk was 0.21 PLN higher, in 2001.
