These cooperatives play an important role in ensuring the effectiveness of social welfare, bringing many benefits through services to the community members and rural economic life, actively contributing to the transformation of crop and livestock structures, increasing agricultural productivity and yield, and improving people's lives that benefit new rural development drive.
