Costa Rica: COOPEATENAS
COOPEATENAS was founded in 1969 by Luis Villegas and 93 coffee farmers. COOPEATENAS currently has 1300 members living throughout Atenas within the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica. Coffee is produced on family-owned farms that average 3 acres in size. The cooperative's main goal is to continue to improve the quality of the coffee while making sure the standard of living for members and their families also continues to improve. In addition to regular training on improving coffee quality and farm management,
COOPEATENAS also believes diversification is a central key to their success. For this reason, COOPEATENAS and its members also own and operate a grocery store, gas station, automotive repair centre, insurance office, hardware store, and run guided tours of the coffee farms, all of which produce additional income for the cooperative members. COOPEATENAS strives to have a social impact in the community by investing in local schools, community centres, community organizations, and infrastructure projects like road maintenance, which ensures producers have an easier time delivering coffee and accessing services.
