New Generation Cooperatives (NGCs) differ from traditional cooperatives (TCs) in that NGCs focus on value-added products instead of raw commodities, which is usually one focus of TCs. A strategy that distinguishes NGCs from TCs is a restricted or closed membership, which stems from the market driven nature of NGCs. This market driven strategy often targets niche markets that desire specific value-added products.
