{{main|Danish cooperative movement}}
Denmark has a long tradition for [[cooperative]] production and trade on a large scale. The most notable cooperative societies today includes the agricultural coop of [[Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab]] (DLG), dairy producer Arla Foods and the retail cooperative [[Coop Danmark]]. Coop Danmark started out as ''"Fællesforeningen for Danmarks Brugsforeninger"'' (FDB) in 1896 and now has around 1.4&nbsp;million members in Denmark as of 2017.<ref name="Hoovers">{{cite web|url=http://www.hoovers.com/company-information/cs/company-profile.coop_danmark_a-s.8e8622076b0a12bc.html |title=Coop Danmark A/S |website= Hoovers|access-date=15 April 2017}}</ref> It is part of the larger multi-sector cooperative [[Coop amba]] which has 1.7&nbsp;million members in that same year.

The cooperative structure also extends to both the housing and banking sector.
