Co-operatives can be categorized into different levels based on their structure and operation. These include primary cooperatives, which are grassroots organizations formed by individuals or businesses to meet common needs; secondary cooperatives, which are associations of primary co-ops that provide services and support; and tertiary cooperatives, which are federations of secondary cooperatives that facilitate collaboration and advocacy on a larger scale. Each level plays a vital role in enhancing member services, resource sharing, and collective bargaining power.
