Abstract- The  study  showed  that  multipurpose, production, marketing,  thrift  and savings   agricultural cooperatives societies  exist  in Ivo Local Government, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. These cooperative source  their  finance  from monthly  dues, levies and fines  and others. The  cooperatives have  greatly  contributed  to  agricultural  development  in Ivo  Local Government  Area by provision of cash to small-holder  farmers, processing, marketing  and group  management. However,  there  exist  certain  problems  confronting   the agricultural cooperatives from  their  expected   roles  and   they  include  inadequate  staff  or personnel, low  income  and  poor  government  interventions. Based  on the  findings,  the  researchers concluded  that  the agricultural  cooperative  societies  in  Ivo Local Government  Area, Ebonyi State, Nigeria  have  contributed  to rural and  agricultural  development  despite the identified  constraints.
