Co-ops

You have all read about the Poultry co-op and the work I have done with them the past year, but we worked with many co-ops in Diyala. Co-ops allow the farmers to help each other to be successful without relying on the government for support. They have the opportunity to create their own success, something they did not have in the past. Some of the groups we worked with are: The Central Iraqi Beekeeper Association, the Diayla Farmers Union, The Zuhairat Date Co-op, The Abu Basal Vegetable Co-op, and the HibHib Poultry Co-op.
