Cooperativas

Cooperativas, or cooperatives, are organizations owned and operated by a group of individuals who come together to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs. Members contribute to the cooperative's resources and share in its benefits, such as profits or services, based on their participation. These organizations can be found in various sectors, including agriculture, retail, and finance. Cooperatives emphasize democratic control, meaning that each member typically has an equal vote in decision-making, fostering a sense of community and cooperation among members while prioritizing collective goals over individual profit.
