Abstract: This article seeks to provide an analysis of Spanish cotton co-operatives in the second half of the 20th century, based on internal reports. The article covers the institutional frameworks surrounding the Spanish cotton sector (first being more authoritarian and the other more liberal), the reasons for the co-operatives for entering the cotton market and their options for doing so, and the evolution of the cotton market. The main conclusions reached are that the cooperatives showed special features: they did not emerge out of a crisis, their aim was to take a percentage of the sector`s profits, and they had no established history. On the other hand. the co-operatives put an end to a monopsony cotton market in terms of buying cotton, monopolist with regard to cotton-ginners, and oligopolistic with regard to the selling of the fibre.
