Abstract: This is a study of the most important features of European agricultural cooperatives. It emphasises the business aspect as a key factor in their economic development. A cluster analysis is performed on them to classify them in relation to variables linked to their business aspect, especially its essential contribution to competitiveness. There is also an assessment of their main strengths and weaknesses as they affect the prospects for internationalising their activities, internationalisation being one of the great challenges they have to face in the current economic context.
