Cooperativa Tambera Paraná (Cotapa)
Cotapa, short for Cooperativa Tambera Paraná, has been a significant player in the dairy sector, particularly for smaller producers. The organization was established two years following the implementation of Decree-Law 6640. This decree was instrumental in the creation of Cotapa, which aimed to enhance hygienic and sanitary standards within the dairy farming industry. These improvements provided a substantial boost to dairy farming, especially benefiting smaller holdings.
The cooperative's focus on sanitary standards has not only improved the quality of dairy products but has also supported the sustainable growth of smaller dairy farms. This has helped these smaller producers maintain competitiveness in a market that is often dominated by larger entities.
