Agricultural Olive Grower Kalyves Cooperative
The Agricultural Olive Cooperative of Kalyves was one of the first cooperatives that were organized and operated in Greece. Already since 1902 there are reports of actions of a group of farmers who led by the phrase “Power in union” saw the benefits of cooperating.
Of course, it is worth noting that there are several sources of information about the early stages of development of this cooperative. However, we know in a general context that after its release “Statute of the Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives of Greece “by the leader of the cooperatives, Socrates Iosemidis, in 1919 and before the 40’s the cooperative farmers of Kalyves were engaged in the creation of reins used to plow the fields using horses.
Then, the cooperative began to deal more with the cultivation of olives.
