In Argentina, cooperatives show there is strength in numbers

Argentina, a middle-income country, is the third largest producer and second largest exporter of agricultural products in Latin America. But for people living in the country’s remote rural areas there are few opportunities to reap the benefits of this thriving sector. Two IFAD-supported projects in the northeast and northwest regions have worked to help small producers form strong cooperatives to obtain better access to credit and technical assistance and find new markets for their products. With more options at home, fewer young people are migrating to cities in search of work.
