Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society

The Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) is a membership organization that supports farmers and rural communities in Scotland by promoting cooperative farming and shared services. Its goal is to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and profitability of agriculture through collaborative efforts, such as forming cooperatives for purchasing, marketing, and processing. By working together, members can reduce costs, access better markets, and strengthen their local economy. Founded in 1910, SAOS provides advice and resources to help farmers implement cooperative strategies that benefit both their individual businesses and the wider rural community.
