Difference between Producers’ Cooperative Society and Consumers’ Cooperative Society
A few small industrialist, labor, or producers establish a cooperative society to gather their limited capability in order to get huge production facilities and this kind of organization is called producers’ cooperative society. Whenever the consumers of a particular area collectively establish a cooperative society with a view to purchasing daily necessary commodities at the optimum price this cooperative society is called Consumers’ Cooperative Society. A consumer can get its products from a manufacturer and the producer can make its own product. In simplest terms, producers generate something and consumers consume something. For example, supermarkets obtain its goods from a factory and the factory makes its products to sell
