German term

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Cooperative societies
This is from a website for a South Tyrolean fruit-grower's cooperative (http://www.biosudtirol.com/index.php?id=8):

Is this just an elaborate way of saying 'joining the cooperative', or is there an equivalent English phrase that I should use?

TIA,

ja, das synonyme "Erwerb von Geschäftsanteilen" ist wohl gebräuchlicher, aber dasselbe.

Versuchs mal mit "purchase of cooperative shares", da sind es immerhin 9 Google hits ... ;-)
Kooperativen gibt es einfach nicht sooo viel wie andere Formen - könnte eine Erklärung dafür sein.
Note from asker:
Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't find any Google hits for the phrase in English, but I did find a lone hit for a similar term "subscription to the cooperative's capital" here http://www.fao.org/docrep/w7170E/w7170e07.htm. That said, there are only 302 hits for the German phrase, so it doesn't seem very common, even in German.
Danke für die weiteren Infos.
