The agricultural cooperatives are the organizations where farmers pool their resources in certain areas of activity.

A main finding is that there is observed a phenomenon of decreasing number of APCs, poorly recognized brands, a relative small turnovers and market shares in comparison to agricultural cooperatives in developed countries.
