Co-Operatives Proposal Accepted



Co-Operatives Proposal Accepted
Sustainable Capital Group Panama has presented a proposal to Panama's co-operative governing body, IPACOOP, and it has been accepted. IPACOOP is a governmental body that represents all of Panama's co-operatives.
Sustainable Capital Group Panama met with IPCOOP this week and a proposal for the sale of seedlings to Panama's farming co-operatives was accepted. The acceptance of the proposal allows Sustainable Capital Group Panama to approach the presidents of co-operatives and present its products. IPACOOP will also make a presentation to the co-operatives' representatives and will offer support and assistance.
Sustainable Capital Group Panama's proposed project will enable members of the co-operatives to purchase seedlings and receive technical support from Sustainable Capital Group Panama. They will also be able to sell back their produce to Sustainable Capital Group Panama, providing some basic conditions are met. The first group of landowners/farmers is expected at the plantation at the end of this week, to inspect the seedling production operation and to submit its first seedling orders.
Most of the farming co-operative members are based in the provinces of Cocle and Chiriqui and the intended use of the trees is for animal fodder and timber production.
The acceptance of the proposal by IPACOOP represents access to tens of thousands of farmers and landowners and is a major achievement for Sustainable Capital Group Panama.
