Co-op Model: Creating a Local Market to Benefit Local Communities

Al-Corn Clean Fuel’s unique cooperative model has allowed Al-Corn to build a firm business foundation based on success, a strong cash position and investments that add value to members and their communities. The ethanol plant has created a guaranteed and more stable market. Member investment and corn deliveries give Al-Corn a distinct advantage and its members very competitive returns.

In contrast, investor-owned ethanol plants may allow farmers to receive higher corn prices initially, but then farmers and their local communities receive few of the important benefits that Al-Corn’s cooperative model provides.
