Tanzania has one of the longest histories of co-operative development in Africa. The first co-operative society was registered in 1932, after the enactment of the first Co-operative Ordinance of the then Tanganyika. Jn the year 1967, Tanzania was known as "the co-operative giant of Africa" third to Denmark and Israel. This was because 97% of all export crops were channelled through the agricultural co-operative movement.
