Co-operation around the world


Timothy writes: I was delighted to see an excellent piece on the bbc news website today about the Co-operative Lijjat Papad in India.

It is celebrating its 50th anniversary today and is a typical example of a successful Co-operative.

Founded by women, it exploited a small amount of start up money and is now a flourishing business with a turnover of £72million a year.

The women exploited a key skill and took this to an impressive business, delivering stable finances for their families at the same time.

It makes you proud to be a supporter of Co-operatives.
