COOPERSANTA is committed to helping improve the living conditions of its members, families, and the community by developing projects in the priority areas identified by members as good working conditions, education, and sustainable production.

The cooperative offers technical assistance, which seeks to bring alternatives to reduce the cost of production of the main product, oranges, through the production of its own bio-fertilizers that bring health and balance to the soil, while reducing our carbon footprint.

Another of the cooperative’s strengths is its dedication to working with public procurement projects under the government programs PAA (Food Acquisition Program) and PNAE (National School Feeding Program), where Coopersanta sells whole juice and cassava flour throughout most of the state of Paraná.

Our cooperative encourages members to produce healthy food for our families and communities, promoting economic diversification through the school garden and fish production projects. It also looks after the well-being of the pickers involved in orange production, through training on health and safety issues at work and the distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

COOPERSANTA invested 49% of its Fairtrade premiums and investment projects in partnerships by objectives, partnering with government programs to supply healthy food to schools and public institutions, 44% in Zero Hunger, income diversification, and food production, and 7% in decent work and economic growth through investment in workers’ health and safety.
