Thinking of joining the Gloria Livestock Raisers Agriculture Cooperative (GLOLIVCO)? This guide explains who can join, what you need to prepare, and how the process works.
Why join a livestock cooperative?
A cooperative lets small farmers do together what is hard to do alone. As a member-owner of GLOLIVCO, you can access affordable artificial insemination, shared farm machinery and inputs, livestock care trainings, and transport and marketing assistance — plus a share in the cooperative’s surplus.
Who can join
- Farmers and livestock raisers in Gloria, Oriental Mindoro
- Agricultural advocates within Oriental Mindoro
- Individuals committed to cooperative principles
- People willing to participate in trainings and seminars
Step-by-step application
- Inquire — visit our office in Gloria or message us on Facebook for an application form and the next PMES schedule.
- Attend the PMES — the Pre-Membership Education Seminar explains cooperative principles and the rights and duties of members.
- Submit your requirements — completed application form, a valid government-issued ID, 2×2 ID photos and your PMES certificate.
- Pay your initial share capital and membership fee — amounts are set by our by-laws; ask the office for current rates.
- Wait for approval — the Board of Directors reviews applications and our office will inform you once you are approved.
Your responsibilities as a member
Members help the cooperative grow by using its services, building up share capital, attending the General Assembly and trainings, and following the by-laws. In return, you have a voice and a vote in how GLOLIVCO is run.
