Former Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri challenged farmers to embrace “cooperativism” as a way to prosper fast although they are used to individually carrying out their economic activities.

In a press release from his office, Zubiri said “One sure way for farmers to quickly access inexpensive loans and affordable crop insurance is via their formation of co-ops.”

Zubiri, author of the Cooperative Code of 2008, also said that one by one, farmers find it tough to borrow money. Banks also find it hard to give credit to individual farmers. But a co-op can easily get loans for all farmer-members and facilitate repayments.
