Background of the Study
Agricultural cooperatives in Argungu Local Government Area (LGA) play a crucial role in improving the livelihoods of local farmers by providing access to shared resources, equipment, and marketing opportunities. However, these cooperatives often face challenges in managing their costs effectively, which hinders their ability to maximize profits and achieve financial sustainability. Standard costing, as a cost accounting technique, can be instrumental in improving cost control within these cooperatives.
Standard costing involves establishing predetermined costs for various operations and comparing them to actual costs to determine variances. It provides a systematic approach to managing operational costs, especially in agricultural production, where cost fluctuations are common. This study aims to investigate the application of standard costing in agricultural cooperatives in Argungu LGA, assessing its effectiveness in managing costs and improving financial outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Many agricultural cooperatives in Argungu LGA struggle with managing costs, leading to inefficiencies and reduced profitability. The absence of a structured costing system, such as standard costing, complicates the identification of cost overruns and inefficiencies in production. This study aims to explore how the application of standard costing can improve cost management and financial performance in these cooperatives.
