Which one of the following countries is known as the "land of co-operatives" ?

  • A.Finland
  • B.Denmark
  • C.Sweden
  • D.Norway

Answer: B

The 'land of co-operatives' is Denmark.

From the 1880s Danish farmers organised co-operative dairies, bacon factories and egg-export societies, which let small farmers process and market their produce collectively. The movement transformed Danish agriculture into a highly efficient export industry, and co-operatives came to handle most of the country's dairy and meat production.

Finland, Sweden and Norway also have strong co-operative movements, but Denmark is the country traditionally called the land of co-operatives.
