Starting a cooperative: Farmer-controlled economic initiatives

Agricultural co-operatives usually develop in rural economies when self-sufficient farming becomes successful enough to transform into full market production. By initiating economic co-operation, farmers can strengthen their position in the market so that they all benefit. This booklet serves as a guide to support farmers’ groups through the difficult process of starting a co-operative business, helping them find their way and make their own choices in developing a successful enterprise.
