The Agri Co-Operative Training and Consultancy Services Ltd. ATC has been registered as a Company Limited in September 2007 and is fully owned by the Co-operative College of Kenya. Together with Kenya Agriculture Commodity Exchange, KACE, a private company distributing market information to Kenyan farmer, the Co-operative College of Kenya, with the support of the development partners, DED, HSS, GTZ and ACDI VOCA started the transition of a department of the Co-operative College into a private training and consultancy firm. Legal difficulties prolonged the process for more than 3 years, but in 2007 ATC was finally registered as a company.

Since that time ATC has delivered more than 70 training courses to farmers, their organization and extension staff in the agricultural and co-operative sector in Kenya. The goal of approaching farming as a business is to increase the incomes of the rural poor, or to put more money in the farmers' pockets and into the rural economy. This will enable them improve their standards of living in terms of housing, food security and basic household needs, while contributing to the larger goal of making the transition from subsistence to a cash economy, or the creation of wealth.
