Just as individual members of Farmers Organization (FO) can benefit from the services provided by the FO, the FOs can accordingly benefit from a federation of similar organizations. The federative system enables the FOs to make decisions outside the community level as well at the same time linking each member FO’s economic activities to the process of agricultural input supplying, agricultural production enlargement, and product marketing. The federative network of member FOs provides valuable services in technical assistance such as technical and managerial trainings, legal, accounting and auditing consultations. At the national level, the FAA can provide a platform to advocate the needs and rights of its member farmers and FOs.

In December 2001 year 8 agricultural cooperatives decided to join and form a Federation of Agricultural Associations as a Union of Legal Entities in order to solve their common problems.

In February 2002 Jinishian Memorial Foundation provided grant to the Federation to assist with the FAA registration and administrative expenses, and the Federation of Agricultural Associations as a Union of Legal Entities was registered.
