Summary
Cooperative Organization Competition Act - Amends the Clayton Act to subject the operation of agricultural and horticultural organizations to the antitrust laws. Permits their continued existence provided that their formation through an acquisition or merger does not effect commerce by lessening competition or creating a monopoly. Sets limits on the size, as determined by annual sales volume, of members in such organization. Requires equitable relief including dissolution, upon a finding that such conditions are breached by such organization.
