Empowering Rural Communities Through Cooperative Development
About Our Community
The RuralCoop Support Foundation, established in 2010, is a non-profit organization founded by Farm Credit Armenia Credit Cooperative. As an extension of Farm Credit Armenia, a cooperative dedicated to providing financial services, our foundation is committed to comprehensive assistance for our member-shareholder farmers. Our primary mission is to support Farm Credit Armenia's 12,000 members and others in rural areas, empowering them to grow their businesses.
At the Rural Co-op Support Foundation, we recognize the challenges faced by rural communities. Through specialized trainings, effective communication, and a range of supportive measures, we aim to foster cooperative network and share knowledge. Join us in our commitment to empower farmers and contribute to the prosperity of rural communities.

What Is A Cooperative?
Cooperatives are businesses owned by “member-owners”. Co-ops are democratically controlled by their member-owners, and unlike a traditional business each member gets a voice in how the business is run. Services or goods provided by the co-op benefit and serve the member owners.
