The Argentinedemocratic government elected in 2003 praised the cooperative systemadvantages, stance which was reaffirmed by the following administration since2007. As international dairy commodity prices increased, the governmentintervened to stop price transfers to the domestic market. In 2008 there was along producer-government confrontation that finished with a governmentagreement to pay subsidies to small and medium size milk producers to help tocover production costs. The agreement was renewed in 2009 with some changes,with several difficulties to implement the system and delays in payments. Inthis context we wonder whether the government has been coherent with its own rhetoric,giving small dairy cooperative members priority in subsidies payments in themajor producing provinces. To verify it we used an analysis of multiplecorrespondence first, followed by a log-lineal model. With those results wecalculated odds ratios with selected variables. The Argentinedemocratic government elected in 2003 praised the cooperative systemadvantages, stance which was reaffirmed by the following administration since2007.
