It also operates at national level through one of its commodity associations, the Federal Cotton Producers Association (FCPA). FACHIG was formed in 1999 and later registered as a Trust as well as a Savings and Credit Cooperative Union. FACHIG is a membership-based organization with 12600 members organised in self-selected or voluntary 1100 groups.
