Cooperative Programs

USDA Rural Development Cooperative programs preserve and improve the cooperative business system of rural areas.  The direct role of the Cooperative programs is to provide knowledge to improve the effectiveness and performance of rural cooperative businesses.  Cooperative programs assist rural residents in forming new cooperative businesses and improve the operations of existing cooperatives by providing technical assistance, conducting cooperative-related research, and producing information products to promote public understanding of cooperatives.
