Cooptrade.net is a site designed to serve the needs of cooperatives including
small and medium enterprises. The site is a support system that caters to
cooperatives serving the lower income members of Philippine society.
Cooptrade.net is necessary because cooperatives need a site where they can get
information to improve their business operations, find the current prices of
goods and services, contact other cooperatives, offer their products and
services, find solutions to their cooperative problems, consult cooperative
experts, download cooperative materials and other pertinent needs.
Cooptrade.net further provides a venue to familiarize cooperatives with the
phenomenon of the digital age. Cooperatives need to join the mainstream of
electronic commerce and do business among themselves and other business entities
all over the world. It is therefore a must for cooperatives to be familiar with
the new mode of doing business. Cooperatives should never ignore the recent
trends of information technology because if they do, IT as a leveler would be an
opportunity that passes their way without getting something good out of it.
The site will educate cooperatives to a new paradigm of doing business in a
different mode. It will give them the opportunity to experience new ways and
strategies of how services and business will be managed. It is therefore
expected that with cooptrade.net it build a new culture for cooperatives that
would make them better engines of economic growth and development making them
the hope for the majority of our people who need to improve their quality of
life.
