Agricultural
cooperatives are generally formed to meet
the members' needs as follows:
 To
provide loans to members for productive and
providential purposes at affordable interest
rates;
 To
encourage members' thrift through savings
and deposits;
 To
provide agricultural products and daily necessities
for sale to members at reasonable prices;
 To
promote appropriate farm practices and disseminate
technical know-how aimed to help members reduce
production costs and obtain higher yields.
With government assistance, members are introduced
to proper cropping techniques as well as use
of fertilizers and insecticides. Another service
is in the form of farm equipment (e.g., tractors,
water pumps, etc.) made available to members
at reasonable charge; and
 To
enable members to market products together,
thereby obtaining higher prices for their
produce and maintaining fairness in terms
of weights and measures. |
| At
present, agricultural cooperatives engage
in various types of business in responding
to their members' needs. Generally, the five
main areas are loans, savings and deposits,
sale of consumer and farm supplies, goods,
joint marketing, and agricultural extension
and services. |
