It reported 12,343 agricultural-purpose organisations whose establishment it had authorised, and said 145 organisations qualified for a First-Degree Agricultural Organisation Certificate during 2025. The inventory covers several distinct types, including cooperatives, producer associations, animal-breeding associations, agricultural chambers and agricultural credit cooperatives. The ministry reported 8,933 unit cooperatives with 2,200,525 members across agricultural development, irrigation, fisheries and sugar-beet growers’ cooperatives. That group comprised 5,938 agricultural development cooperatives, 2,368 irrigation cooperatives, 596 fisheries cooperatives and 31 sugar-beet growers’ cooperatives. The sugar-beet category was small by organisation count but had 1,205,282 members, the largest membership among those four cooperative types. Counts of organisations and members are different measures and should not be treated as interchangeable.

These included 515 animal-product associations with 221,779 members, 199 crop-product associations with 20,592 members, 35 fisheries associations with 1,598 members and 22 organic-product associations with 2,888 members. Animal-breeding associations were reported separately, with 270 provincial bodies and 523,627 members. The ministry additionally listed 1,609 agricultural credit cooperatives with 851,341 members and 760 agricultural chambers representing 5,225,151 farmers. These categories operate under different legal frameworks and membership definitions; adding the figures would not produce a count of unique individuals. The ministry said it compiled the statistics from the Cooperative Information System (Koopbis) and official submissions from provincial directorates, agricultural chambers and agricultural credit cooperatives. This is an organisational inventory, not a direct measure of production, income, effectiveness or members’ economic welfare. The ministry scheduled its next annual bulletin for 25 March 2027.
