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 UCO Commercial Cooperative. As an extension of Farm Credit Armenia, a cooperative dedicated to providing financial services, our foundation is committed to comprehensive assistance for farmers. Our primary mission is to support Farm Credit Armenia's farmers and others in rural areas, empowering them to grow their businesses and establish or strengthen cooperatives.
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 networks and share knowledge. Our goal is to create sustainable livelihoods and uplift local economies by encouraging collaboration, innovation, and equitable growth. 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.
