Description:	It is supposed that cooperative organizations can and should be relevant collective social actors for development. Nevertheless, are organizations submerged in a competitive economic system and therefore should act to survive, considering the rules imposed by the system. The aim of this paper is to analyze how agricultural cooperatives of the south/southwest region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, contribute to local development. The seventh cooperative principle was considered concern for the community, focusing on its relation with the social management of cooperatives. Results show weaknesses in articulating social management and poor accomplishment of the seventh cooperative principle.
