Abstract

The state of Goiás, located in the Brazilian Centre-West, ranks sixth nationally in terms of the number of active cooperatives and job creation. Among the state’s micro-regions, the south-west of Goiás stands out for its billion-dollar turnover – which in 2018 already totalled R$ 2.3 billion. Given the undoubted importance of cooperatives for the economy of the state of Goiás, this study aimed to carry out a careful analysis of the cooperatives in south-west Goiás, covering various aspects, such as the number of cooperatives, the total number of cooperative members, the number of cooperative members who are legal entities and the number of employees, as well as classification by gender, by branch of activity, by net worth and by share capital. With regard to the methodological procedures used in the study, data from the 2016-2018 Goiás Cooperative Census surveys were mainly used.
