COOPFAM, a coffee growers’ cooperative founded in 1991 in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is committed to providing its members with high-quality, affordable support for coffee production and marketing. From its inception, COOPFAM has been driven by a vision of doing things differently—building a better life for its members through cooperation and shared principles.
The cooperative places a strong emphasis on producing exceptional coffee while promoting the social and economic development of coffee-growing communities. Guided by the belief that to benefit one, it must benefit all, COOPFAM has created a model of solidarity that extends throughout its entire supply chain—from the members who cultivate the coffee to the consumers who enjoy it.
COOPFAM’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for its members and their families, while prioritizing environmental preservation and social responsibility. Its vision is to be a recognized leader at both the national and international levels for its social impact, innovative production, and exceptional products and services.
The cooperative prides itself on its core values: solidarity, respect, honesty, commitment, ethics, responsibility, and professionalism. These principles guide every step of the process, from supporting sustainable and organic farming practices to fostering a sense of community and shared growth.
COOPFAM’s story is one of transformation—from small gatherings of producers inspired to make a difference, to an association sustained by the dedication of its members, and now to a thriving cooperative offering unique products. Each initiative reflects a commitment to building a fairer and more sustainable future for everyone involved.
At COOPFAM, the focus extends beyond coffee as a product—it is about creating meaningful change in the lives of hundreds of families, fostering collaboration, and transforming attitudes and practices across the supply chain.
