Abstract

The problem of the study is determined by the proliferation of cooperatives in Egypt with their various activities, but each structure works in isolation from the other, which negatively affects the ability of the associations and their inability to compete in light of the economic and social changes targeted by the Egyptian economy. agricultural cooperative structure and water wealth was shown, and the cooperatives for agricultural credit occupied the first place, with a number of about 4,313 cooperatives, out of the total number of multi-purpose societies, which numbered about 5,700 cooperatives, represented about 75.7%. When estimating the amount of change for water wealth cooperatives, it was found that the number of cooperatives increased by a statistically significant annual amount of about 0.566 cooperatives, with an annual rate of change of about 0.69% of the average number of cooperatives, which is about 79.67 cooperatives as an average for the same period.
