Types Of Agricultural Cooperatives
A simpler name for agricultural cooperatives is farmers’ co-op. Farmers pool their resources to create an agricultural co-op, usually around a certain activity. Many types of agricultural cooperatives exist, such as agricultural service cooperatives (services for individual farming members) and agricultural production cooperatives (production resources such as land and machinery are combined and members farm together).
