This study conducted a Logit pattern in order to investigate and estimate the performance of dairy cooperatives as well as analyzing the activity levels of dairy farmers of Aq-qala Township. Required data and information for this study is obtained by simple random sampling method via giving questionnaire to 120 dairy Farmers. Results showed that the performance of cooperatives on collecting milk at an appropriate time and location, providing appropriate artificial insemination, giving credit facilities in order to increase Livestock production and offering subsidies for each kilogram of milk were significant and had a positive effect on dairy farmers production level. Better supervision, providing advanced facilities and equipment, regular supervision by governmental workers and providing financial support by cooperatives can have a significant difference both in livestock and milk production. Cooperatives should do a regular condition and situational analysis of rural communities. This task will definitely play a significant role in a better quality of dairy products produced by dairy farmers and also improve their economic situation.
