Abstract: The cooperative principles of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and those of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) trace their origins back to the Rochdale statement developed in 1860, but they have evolved in slightly different directions. This report makes selective comparisons between two sets of contemporary cooperative principles in regard to how they distinguish that form of organization from other forms of business.
