Do agricultural cooperatives always tend to provide a single product line?

Last Updated: February 04, 2011

Many marketing cooperatives mainly market a single line of products but often cooperatives market their members’ products and sell inputs to help members’ grow this product. For instance, dairy cooperatives mainly market their member’s milk although they might also sell animal health products or feed. Fruit and vegetable cooperatives usually market only fruits and vegetables but they might also sell containers or agronomy inputs. Most supply cooperatives provide a full range of production inputs although some might only sell a single product like petroleum.
