What is a Cooperative?
A cooperative is a business that is owned and controlled by members who use its services. Each member has one vote. People typically unite in a cooperative to: (1) pool expertise and obtain services otherwise not available; (2) obtain quality supplies at the right time; (3) gain access to new and more profitable markets; (4) increase their bargaining power; and (5) be in business with others who share common values. When cooperatives generate a profit from efficient operations or adding value to products, these earnings are returned to members in proportion to their use of the cooperative.
