An endogenous switching regression (ESR) that accounts for selection bias resulting from both observable and unobservable heterogeneities was employed to analyze the impact of cooperative membership on household consumption expenditure. Differences between the two groups of farmers with respect to their consumption expenditure determinants were observed. Higher household consumption expenditure is associated with younger farmer non-members who rely on traders for price information. Cooperative membership also has heterogenous impact on welfare among its members. The cooperatives under study are most effective in improving welfare among members with relatively bigger household size, higher volume of calamansi sales, and higher income from other sources. Results also reveal that cooperative membership significantly increases household welfare measured in terms of household consumption expenditure.
