Meaning of Cooperative Societies

A cooperative society exists when groups of workers, individuals, organizations, farmers or communities pull their resources together towards a common goal. Unlike the partnership form of business organisation, there is no maximum number of persons that can form a co-operative society. The main purpose of the cooperative society is to sell goods and services to members at a cheap rate, and do business together for profit purpose and share the profits among the members.

Types of Cooperative Societies

The common types of cooperative societies are: (a) Producers Cooperative (b) Consumers Cooperative  

(a) Producers Cooperative

Producers form a common association in order to sell their products in a uniform price instead of selling individually, e.g. producers of yam, garri, cocoa etc may form a cooperative society for the selling of their products.
