Lucknow District Co-operative reported excellent financial results and a record community donation for 2020 at its virtual Annual General Meeting on Jan 21, 2021.
Lucknow District Co-operative president Martyn VanMeeteren reported sales of over $17 million with a strong emphasis in energy and agronomy; and announced, for a third year in a row, $500,000 in patronage, which represents 4% return on purchases to be distributed to its member-owners. “After a year like no other, major changes to how everyday business is conducted, we had another great financial year,” says VanMeeteren. “Our board is grateful to our employees who managed through lockdowns, contactless pick-ups, and changes in day-to-day protocols to serve our members while maintaining the same level of service as if nothing had changed.”
