N2  - Cooperative is one of the most crucial factors to contribute the effective of supply chain by reducing wasted transaction, creating added value, and redistributing benefits to members of cooperative. Especially, sugarcane, which is one of significant export goods, is a cash crop which has a lot of problems in industry{u2019}s supply chain such as revenue-sharing systems, planted credits provided by sugar mills, insufficient harvested labors, and etc. From several literatures, all these problems  which  are  inevitable  problems  in  sugarcane{u2019}s  supply  chain  are  certainly  required bargaining  powers  and  knowledge  sharing  in  implementing  with  cooperative.  There  are  3  main objectives  in  this  research;  1.  To  assess  the  successes  of  cooperative  in  sugar  cane  cooperative members and non-cooperative members. 2. To assess bargaining power and knowledge sharing in   sugar   cane   cooperative   members   and   non-cooperative   members.   3.   To   examine   the relationship of bargaining power and knowledge sharing affect the successes of cooperative. This  research  is  a  casual  research  study  for  causes  and  effects  of  bargaining  powers  and knowledge  in  implication  of  successes  of  cooperative.  This  research  was  conducted  as  a  cross-sectional analysis by using group of contract sugarcane growers (non-cooperative members) and members  of  cooperative. In  results  and  discussions,  this  research  was  expressed  in descriptive statistics for reviewing nominal data and was utilized independent variable T-test, ANOVA, and correlation  matrix  in  comparing  significantly  statistical  difference  between  cooperative  group and non-cooperative group.The results was presented cooperative was tend to be more success than quota systems in 7 of 8 indicators  of  successes  of  cooperative.  Bargaining  powers  of  cooperative{u2019}s  members  were evidently  higher  than  non-members  of  cooperative.  However,  knowledge  sharing  was  the  weak point  of  cooperative  system.  Moreover,  the  successes  of  cooperative  would  be  followed  to  the indicators that would be added the marginal profits to farmers
