Agricultural cooperatives

Agricultural Cooperative A cooperative established by a group of people engaged in agricultural occupations, jointly established and registered as a juristic person with the Registrar of Cooperatives, with the aim of enabling members to conduct business jointly and help one another to alleviate difficulties in their occupations and to help improve the standard of living of members. History: The first agricultural cooperative was established in B.E. 2459, named Wat Chan Limited Liability Cooperative in Phitsanulok Province. It was an unlimited agricultural cooperative, small in scale at the village level, established by a group of farmers with low income and high debt. It had 16 founding members, with operating capital of 3,080 baht, consisting of an initial membership fee of 80 baht and a loan from the Siam Commercial Bank (the current Siam Commercial Bank) of 3,000 baht. Objectives The agricultural cooperative conducts multi-purpose commercial activities to enable members to conduct business jointly, help one another, and help the community by using moral principles and good ethics based on human foundations, to generate benefits for members and the community, and to have a good quality of life in both economic and social aspects as specified in the cooperative's bylaws. Benefits that members will receive Enables members to increase production conditions by borrowing from the cooperative at low interest rates to conduct their occupations, allowing them to have land of their own or more land than before, as well as receiving knowledge regarding the use of technology in production, from the use of plant and animal seeds, fertilizer use, pesticide use, and the harvesting and storage of products with quality. The resulting products are therefore in accordance with market demand, leading to the cooperative and family members having an improved quality of life in both economic and social aspects.
