The sample size was 440, including the action committees and management staff of those cooperatives, were collected data by means of a well-designed questionnaire with a confidence interval between 0.985-0.991 and analyzed by path analysis. The results showed that the highest level of operation belongs to the organizational environments. For primary activities of the value chain, most respondents agreed that the input factor was essential. For the support activities of the value chain, Infrastructure was seen as the most important one. For success factors, the most significant one was learning and development. The relationship with someone having a stake in the existence of cooperatives was found to be the most important for sustainable performance. In terms of a causal relationship, the results showed that (1) the organizational environments and the support activities of the value chain had both direct and indirect effects on sustainable performance, (2) The primary activities of the value chain had indirect effects on sustainable performance, (3) the critical success factors had a direct effect on sustainable performance, and (4) the organizational environments, the core activities of the value chain, and the support activities of the value chain had a direct influence on the success factors of cooperatives. Additionally, it was found that the variation in the sustainable performance of cooperatives, arising from the organizational environment, the primary activities of the value chain, the support activities of the value chain, and the success factors, was about seventy-one percent.
