New Law to Support the Creation of Farmers’ Cooperatives
Agriculture Ministry officials said yesterday that they would soon complete a new law to regulate and support the creation of farmers’ cooperatives. They said the law would allow farmers to organize cooperatives, which could improve their market position and allow access to financial and technical support. A cooperative can be formed by at least 25 persons working in farming and agricultural business, all of whom have to buy in to raise capital for the organization, according to the draft.
