This research analyzed the impact of corporate governance practices on the performance of agricultural cooperatives in the Lusaka district, guided by the objectives to assess the effects of transparency and accountability, policies and procedures, and monitoring and internal controls. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach, focusing on five multi-purpose agricultural cooperatives registered with the Patent and Company Registration Agency (PACRA) and managed by the District Agricultural Office (DAO). A sample of 323 respondents provided feedback via structured questionnaires. Data was analyzed using correlation and descriptive statistics through SPSS25. Findings revealed a positive relationship between corporate governance practices and cooperative performance. Proper implementation of governance mechanisms, particularly transparency, accountability, internal controls, monitoring, and clear policies, enhances cooperative sustainability and efficiency. The research provides several recommendations. First, policymakers allocate funding to implement research findings at various levels. Second, capacity-building and performance management systems should be strengthened for provincial and district cooperative offices. Third, a structured supervision and monitoring plan should be established for camp and block officers to ensure effective mentorship and trickle-down adoption of best practices. Additionally, future research should evaluate cooperatives’ actual financial performance (profits and annual returns) and assess how political pronouncements influence administrative management. These measures aim to improve governance structures, ensuring agricultural cooperatives operate more effectively and sustainably.
