Agricultural Marketing Cooperatives
Agricultural marketing cooperatives are organizations formed by farmers to collectively sell their products, such as crops or dairy, rather than doing it individually. By working together, farmers can access better market prices, reduce costs, and improve bargaining power. These cooperatives often handle functions like processing, packaging, and distribution, ensuring members get fair value for their produce. They promote fair trade and help farmers achieve financial stability by pooling resources and expertise, fostering cooperative growth, and strengthening their position in the marketplace.
