Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of 2025, a survey was conducted on 4.6% of operating cooperatives in Bulgaria. Different types of cooperatives were randomly selected. The aim is to establish their potential under current conditions. The main conclusions of the study are: For the respondents, the cooperative is a „model for collective action of member-cooperators“, in which, through joint management and mutual assistance, people are placed at the focus of the activity.; Over 2/3 of the respondents are chairmen of the cooperatives. They have higher education and have good professional experience; Agricultural production cooperatives are dominant; According to the value of the assets owned, 2/3 of cooperatives are micro-enterprises, and the remaining 1/3 are small enterprises; The amount of income received covers the costs incurred, but the profit is relatively low.; The available potential of cooperatives does not create opportunities for investment and innovation, some of the conditions in the country are an obstacle to this.
