Introduction
Compared with other countries, the Brazilian population has a very low rate of participation in associative entities.
Bringing this index closer to the global average, which (according to the International
Cooperative Alliance - ICA) is about 40%, is the great challenge of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA).
To achieve this goal, the Ministry is investing in broad dissemination of the cooperatives
doctrine to society, highlighting that this is an effective tool for solving economic and
social problems that contributes to the associative formation of youth and gender.
In this context, the Department of Cooperatives and Associations (DENACOOP) has
developed this brochure with a view to providing information about the world of cooperation and basic notions of the practice of cooperatives to all stakeholders who have
direct or indirect relations with the practice of cooperatives.
5
The Origin of Cooperatives
The cooperative movement had its origin in the city of Manchester (England), in the
neighborhood of Rochdale, when a group of 28 weavers decided to establish the first
cooperative in the world on December 21, 1844.
The Rochdale pioneers met, exchanged ideas, established behaviors, defined objectives
and outlined targets which were focused on the social organization of the group.
After twelve months, these workers were able to save 28 pounds, the amount required to
install a small cooperative warehouse to offer to its members, supplying basic necessities
and various other services thereby promoting better living conditions. And thus the first
consumer cooperative was created.
With the success of the Rochdale cooperative, consumer cooperatives started to multiply
in Europe and sparked the creation of cooperatives of various other branches of economic activity around the world, always with the same basic principles established by the
pioneers.
7
Principles of Cooperatives
The principles of cooperative are a set of rules that guide the formation and operation
of cooperatives.
The basic principles of the cooperative were approved and put into practice at the time
of the foundation of the world’s first cooperative, in 1844
Over time and given the economic and social transformations of the world, the principles have been preserved, but revised and adapted to the demands of modern society.
The last revision took place during the Congress of the Centennial of the International
Cooperative Alliance - ICA in the city of Manchester (England) in 1995.
Current principles of cooperatives
1st Voluntary and open membership
Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to participation by all, without discrimination of sex, race, social class, political or religious inclination.
To participate, one must know the rights and duties of members and decide whether
they are able to comply with the standards established in the bylaws of the cooperative.
In exceptional cases the cooperative may not accept the association when the interests
of the applicant are in conflict with those of the cooperative (parallel activities) or due
to technical impossibility of providing service.
2st. Democratic management by members
The cooperative members, meeting in general assemblies, democratically participate in
decisions, and elect their representatives to manage the cooperative.
9
Members have equal voting rights (each person = one vote), no matter how many
shares each associated members has.
3rd Economic Participation of Partners
All cooperative members contribute equally to the corporate capital of the cooperative,
and democratically control it.
4th Autonomy and independence
Cooperatives are enterprises controlled by their members, who are the owners of the
business.
Democratic control by the members must be ensured when agreements are signed
with other organizations, including government agencies, or when they raise external
resources.
5th Education, training and information
The cooperative has as a permanent objective to dedicate actions and resources to educate, train and empower its members, officers, advisors and employees in cooperativism practices and in the use of techniques and equipment in production and marketing
activities.
The proper functioning of the cooperative depends on the conscious and organized
participation of its members. It is also important to inform the general public, especially young people and opinion makers, about the benefits of cooperation.
6th Intercooperation
The joint work of cooperatives with the use of local, regional, national and international structures strengthens the cooperative movement and serves its members more
effectively.
10
It is important that there is exchange of information, products and services between
cooperatives in the same area, but also between cooperatives in different areas. By negotiating between themselves, cooperatives enable capital to rotate within their own sector,
strengthening it and promoting their growth.
7th Concern for the Community
Cooperatives work for the welfare of their communities through policies approved by
their members.
The cooperative does not work in isolation; it must be committed to the society where
it operates.
11
What is a Cooperative?
It is an autonomous association of at least twenty persons united voluntarily to meet
economic, social and cultural common objectives through an enterprise of collective
ownership run by democratic control of its members.
The cooperatives are based on values of mutual aid, responsibility, solidarity, democracy
and participation. Traditionally, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of
honesty, social responsibility and concern for others.
The cooperative is different from other types of companies because it is, at the same time,
an association of people and also a business.
12
Differences between Cooperative
Enterprise and Mercantile Enterprise
COOPERATIVE ENTERPRISE
The core value is the man
The cooperative member is always
owner and user of the society.
Each person counts as a vote in the
assembly.
The control is democratic
It's a partnership of people that operates
democratically.
Quotas cannot be transferred to third
parties.
It removes the middleman.
The results are returned to members in
proportion to the operations.
Open to new members.
It values the employees and their work
and life conditions.
Advocates fair prices.
Promotes integration among
cooperatives.
The commitment is educational, social
and economic.
MERCANTILE ENTERPRISE
The core value is capital.
The partners sell their products and
services to a mass of consumers.
Each share or stock counts as a vote in
the assembly.
The control is financial
It is a capital company that works
hierarchically.
Quotas can be transferred to third
parties.
They are often the middlemen
themselves.
Dividends return to shareholders in
proportion to the number of shares.
Sometimes limit the amount of
shareholders.
Hires the worker as the labor force.
Maintains the highest price possible.
Promotes competition among
enterprises.
The commitment is economic.
13
What is Needed to Establish a
Cooperative
Those interested in forming a cooperative must discussed, throughout several meetings, the responsibility of that choice, because each participant will make commitments
of economic and social character (as he/she will own the enterprise).
The group must seek information to confirm that the formation of a cooperative is really the best solution to meet the needs of common interest.
For such efforts to have productive results and achieve its social goals, it is important
that each member is aware that participation is vital to the success of a cooperative.
Some issues must be discussed by the group that wants to create a
cooperative
• Does everyone know what their goals are?
• Does everyone know the rights and duties of the cooperative?
• What is the company’s business and what is the situation of that activity in the market like?
• What are the principles and form of operation of cooperatives?
• Is forming a cooperative the best solution?
• Doesn’t a cooperative already exist that meets the interests of the group?
• What are the experiences that the members of the group have?
• Are all members able to fulfill a commitment to collaborate with the fixed capital
needed to form the cooperative enterprise?
• Does the capital to be raised make it possible to meet the initial expenses of running
the business?
15
Walkthrough to set up a cooperative
• To form a cooperative, there must be at least 20 people interested and engaged, both
in the individual and collective aspects.
• After clarification and a positive decision, the group must elect a provisional
committee of at least three people, responsible for the necessary arrangements.
• The committee must seek the cooperativism representation body in their state to
receive the correct guidance on how to form the cooperative.
• The committee, based on guidance received from the representation body, must
write a proposal, adapting the bylaws template that will be provided to them to the
specific needs of its group.
• The bylaws must include the interests and needs of the Cooperative, including the
rules of operation, and may be changed when the majority sees fit. The statute is the set
of rules governing the objectives, functions and actions of a cooperative society.
• The proposal made is then distributed to the whole group, which must study it and
hold as many meetings as necessary to discuss it until an agreement is reached.
• The commission convenes all parties to the General Assembly, in advance and with
full disclosure, where the cooperative will be founded.
• With the minutes of that meeting signed by all founding members of the cooperative
and in possession of other required documents, the committee registers the deed in the
Chamber of Commerce.
• The record represents a contract of responsibilities among all partners before
the law. It also ensures greater security for its members, in addition to enabling the
enterprise to be part of a cooperative system that occupies a significant portion of the
economy.
16
How to be part of a cooperative
Cooperatives are open to new members. It is not always necessary to constitute a new
cooperative.
In fact, the main objective is to not form new cooperatives. There are cooperatives in several areas throughout the Brazilian territory. These cooperatives increase their potential
with the admission of each new member.
Every person is important, and the members should seek new members, increase the
labor and capital capacity of the company and increase the number of beneficiaries.

Types of Cooperatives in Brazil
Due to diverse needs, cooperatives work in different areas of human activity. In Brazil
cooperatives are classified into 13 types:
Agricultural
Cooperatives of farmers and fishermen seeking to improve the production process and
obtain better prices for their products.
Labor
Comprises several types of cooperatives that provide professional services to others. It
is a very broad segment, since members of any professional area can be organized into
cooperatives.
Credit
Rural and urban credit cooperatives. Credit cooperatives promote saving and finance
the needs of its members on terms more accessible than those practiced by commercial
banks.
Health
Cooperatives composed of physicians, psychologists, dentists, and also by users of these
services. Provide health care to the population (i.e. the preservation and restoration of
human health) at a lower cost.
Transport
This group includes cooperatives that operate in the transport of passengers and cargo.
19
Housing
Consists of cooperatives designed to facilitate the purchase or construction of housing,
or to maintain and manage housing complexes for their members.
Educational
This groups includes cooperatives of teachers, students and parents of students who
come together to achieve better quality of education as well as better working conditions
and income.
Consumption
Cooperatives who seek better conditions of purchase for consumer products, established
to offer its membership more affordable pricing for items such as food, clothing, medicines and others.
Infrastructure
Cooperatives whose purpose is to prioritize and directly meet the needs of its members
for basic utility services (electrification and telephony).
Production
Cooperatives that organize the production of goods and services, allowing the cooperative members to participate as directors and heads of technical and functional areas
of the enterprise. For companies that enter bankruptcy, the production cooperative is
generally the alternative for the maintenance of jobs. The members are collective owners
of the means of production.
20
Mineral
Cooperatives operating in the mining sector, established to drill, extract, process and sell
mineral products, allowing members to have a self-employment alternative to working
with mining companies.
Tourism and Leisure
Cooperatives that provide tourist, arts, entertainment, sports and hospitality services.
Brazil is a country with great potential for recreation and tourism, and this type of organization allows its members to offer services that are educational, pleasant and less
costly.
Special
Cooperatives formed by minors with difficult economic and social family scenarios, persons with disabilities or other groups that need protection or are at a disadvantageous
social position. These cooperatives are aimed at the development of citizenship, the recovery of self-esteem, and the inclusion of their members in the labor market.
21
How Democratic Management Works
The members are the owners of the cooperative enterprise. Gathered in a general assembly, the highest body of decision, they use their votes to set the goals and form of operation of the business. The decisions made on those general assemblies must be respected
and enforced by the Board and by the other members, whether they have participated in
the assemblies or not.
To manage the cooperative, the members elect a board of directors and a supervisory
board. It is important that the directors are chosen because they present real leadership,
know the laws in force, understand the principles of cooperatives and are knowledgeable
on the planning, organization, direction and control activities of the company.
The board of directors may hire staff outside the cooperative to manage areas that require specialized knowledge, and the cooperative is also allowed to hire external help to
provide operational services, when necessary.
Administrative Structure
For the good performance of the activities of a cooperative, the basic following structure
is used:
General Assembly
It is the meeting of all cooperative members to work together, discuss, suggest, analyze
and make decisions about the interests of the cooperative enterprise. The General
Assembly is the main decision making forum of a cooperative.
Board of Directors or Board
It is a higher body in the administration of the cooperative, formed exclusively by cooperative members elected by the other members at a general assembly.
23
The Board is responsible for implementing the proposals approved by the general assembly, and may also indicate an executive board composed of three members whose role is
to manage the day-to-day work of the cooperative.
Supervisory Board:
It is the independent watchdog within the cooperative, with its directors elected by other
members.
The Supervisory Board’s duty is to examine, often in detail and on behalf of all members,
the administration of the assets and operations of the cooperative.
24
Corporate Capital
A cooperative must financially ensure their business activities in order to participate in
the market. The development of services to be provided to their members, and in particular to their customers, depends on the financial performance of the company.
In the capacity of businessman, each member must invest funds in the company that
belongs to him. He/she must invest and ensure the necessary capital to meet the commitments and support the development of the cooperative.
Subscribed Capital
By creating or joining a cooperative, the person assumes a financial obligation established by the bylaws of the same. It is their share of participation in the business, which
may be paid at once or in installments.
Paid-in Capital
It is the amount already paid by the member of the cooperative of the capital subscribed
to by him/her. The paid-in corporate capital is not transferable to third parties.
25
Participation of Associates
The participation of members in the life of the cooperative must happen in a responsible
and organized manner. The enterprise’s success will only occur with the active participation of each member, each assuming the role of true owners.
The involvement of the member must go beyond the use of services offered and their
attendance to meetings of the assemblies. They must participate in events that allow for
a better understanding of their cooperative enterprise. They should also seek continuous
training, both to better do their work and also to undertake (during certain periods) the
management and supervision functions of the cooperative.
Another important factor for the smooth running of the cooperative is that its members
are well aware of their rights and duties.
Rights and duties of cooperative members

28
The Conquest of Self-Management
The Federal Constitution, promulgated in 1988, defined self-management as an important achievement of the cooperative movement in Brazil. This means that the state cannot
interfere in the cooperative system, except to provide technical and/or financial support.
In the Brazilian cooperative system, the members, leaders and representatives have full
responsibility for the management and supervision of their cooperatives. By law, cooperatives are free to create and organize their activities and forms of representation, always
based on the principles and values that characterize them - solidarity, mutual help, honesty, democracy and participation.
29
Government Support
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) supports, encourages and promotes cooperatives through the actions performed by the Department
of Cooperatives and Associations (DENACOOP) of the Secretariat of Agricultural
Development and Cooperatives (SDC).
The DENACOOP defines and implements its program of work through actions in partnership with national and international organizations, public and private institutions
and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Thus, it enables the participation of organized civil society in favor of the expansion of cooperatives, with quality and autonomy.

The Frencoop is a body of political (and not ideological) nature established to defend the
interests of cooperativism in its entirety, representing it in Congress and in all areas and
levels of government.
33
National Representation of
OCB
The representation of the cooperative system, nationally, is a responsibility the
Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives – OCB - as established by Law 5,764 from
December 16, 1971 (the so-called “Cooperatives Law”). The OCB brings together state

Cooperative Alliance - ICA, which is based in Geneva (Switzerland).
The ICA is a non-governmental and independent association which aims to provide
support to cooperatives in the whole world, strengthening and encouraging their integration, autonomy and development.
ICA Americas
Under the American continent this articulation is made by the ICA Americas, based in
San José (Costa Rica).
35
Global Symbols of Cooperatives
Emblem
Anywhere in the world, this emblem identifies the presence of Cooperativism. The elements used in the design have important significance for the followers of the cooperatives doctrine.
The circle symbolizes the idea of eternity, the permanent and
dynamic movement of life. The two pine trees signify unity
and cooperation. The tree is a sign of resilience, because it survives and multiplies even in less fertile soils. As for colors, the
dark green of the trees represents the vital principle of nature; yellow is the sun, highlighting the sources of energy and
wealth.
Flag
The white flag of cooperatives represents the idea of peace, harmony and hope. The
rainbow is represented in six colors and the symbol of the International Cooperative
Alliance - ICA is printed on the seventh color (violet).
36
Each color of the rainbow has a meaning:
• Red - courage.
• Orange - vision of the future.
• Yellow - family and community.
• Green - growth as a person and cooperative member.
• Blue - need to help the less fortunate.
• Anil - self and mutual help.
• Violet - beauty, warmth and camaraderie.
Global Commemorations of Cooperativism
