In order to address the environmental problems caused by manure composting, it is necessary to use compost over a comprehensive geographical area, such as via compost sales to arable farmers. However, the labor potential of an individual livestock farmer limits this potential.
The purpose of this paper is to build a sales model of compost based on the conditions of cooperation between livestock farmers, and to calculate the best distribution of the sales revenue based on cooperative game theory.
Based on the results, I examine the system of compost sales by cooperation between farmers and the methods of revenue distribution.
The results indicate that a cooperative compost sales system between farmers enables them to transport, spray, fill bags and sale self-sufficiently to an extent during the harvest period that individual farmers can’t do.
And it is shown clearly that the prevention of the environmental impact coming from compost and the increase in the revenue of compost sales for each farmer is possible.
