The worker who has labor to sell at a profit, the tradesman with goods to sell, the doctor, the lawyer, the political official, the farmer--everybody who consumes--is found in membership in consumer cooperative societies, uniting to supply some need. The fact that they get their incomes in competitive profit business does not militate against their cooperating to supply their needs as consumers and to improve their purchasing power. Both the needy unemployed and privileged royalty are found in these societies. Such membership is in response to a natural human urge to unite in a confraternity making for peace and plenty. Only two classes desist from such a union--the uncooperative and sulky individuals, and those who are unaware of the meaning of cooperation.

Emerging consumer cooperative societies in the U.A.E. and Kuwait, with member ownership and government subsidies, are having a profound effect on the Gulf\'s retail food trade. They have stimulated intense competition with other retailers, forcing upgrades with state-of-the-art supermarkets and expansion to other Gulf and neighboring countries.

Gulf Countries Prefer \"U.S.-Made\"
