About Coopama,

Coopama was formed through the collective effort of farming families in southern Minas Gerais who came together to strengthen their work and secure better conditions for their crops. With more than eight decades of history, the cooperative has been built step by step around shared experience and practical needs. While Coopama operates across different agricultural activities, coffee has always played a central role in its development. From the beginning, the focus was simple: support producers, share knowledge, and build something that would work not just for one harvest, but over time.

Over the years, Coopama has developed the infrastructure and technical support needed to handle coffee with more care and consistency. This includes guidance in the field, shared post-harvest practices, and centralized handling that helps keep lots organized and traceable. The goal has remained clear: help producers better understand their coffee and bring it to market in a more structured and reliable way.

Today, Coopama supports thousands of coffee-producing families and continues to adapt to the realities of modern coffee production. By focusing on practical solutions, steady improvement, and long-term relationships, the cooperative helps producers work toward better quality and more stable market access, without losing sight of where the coffee comes from.

What Makes Coopama Special?

Coopama coffees come from an area with steady seasons and long harvest periods, which allow coffee cherries to ripen at a more uniform pace. This helps producers plan picking more carefully and work with fruit that develops in a more predictable way. The result is coffees that tend to show clean, balanced cup profiles and perform similarly from one harvest to the next.

What sets Coopama apart is the cooperative structure behind the coffee. Producers are not working in isolation; they share knowledge, compare results, and learn from one another across harvests. This collective approach supports gradual improvement over time and helps align farming decisions with market expectations, creating coffees that buyers can understand and work with more easily.
