As of 2008[update] NCGA's membership includes 109 independent food cooperatives who have a combined annual sales of $945 million.[1] In total, there are nearly 300 food co-operatives in the U.S.[2] NCGA leverages the buying power of its member cooperatives to negotiate with manufacturers such as UNFI.[3]
