The Confédération nationale de la mutualité, de la coopération et du crédit agricole (CNMCCA) (English: The National Confederation of Reciprocity, Co-operation and Agricultural Credit) gathers the various components of the French agricultural mutualist and co-operative movement:
- The Fédération nationale de la mutualité agricole (FNMA) (The National Federation of Agricultural Reciprocity);
- The Confédération française de la coopération agricole (CFCA) (The French Confederation of the Agricultural Co-operation) which has become Coop de France ;
- The Fédération nationale du crédit agricole (FNCA) (The National Federation of Agricultural Credit).
It is member of the CIF (the Conseil de l'agriculture française, or Council of French Agriculture).[1]
Role and function of the CNMCCA
[edit]The CNMCCA represents the French mutualist and co-operative agricultural movement sectors to:
- The French authorities and other agricultural professional organizations;
- European and international authorities: it sits at the Comité des organisations professionnelles agricoles (COPA) ;
- Of the whole of the movement mutualist and co-operative French within the framework of the Groupement national de la coopération (GNC) and the ICA at the international level.
Its current President is Jean-Marie Sander; its Director General is Roland Combier.
Although mostly now focusing on the provision of services, it was historically a representative of the Radical tradition within the countryside against the larger and more conservative Union nationale des syndicats agricoles.[2] that would later form the main current of the main French farming union, the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles.
