About

A cooperative owned by the people who grow the coffee

COCLA belongs to its 21 member cooperatives. They elect the delegates, the delegates elect the board, and the board answers to the producer families.

Mission

To contribute to the socio-economic development of our members and staff through competitive, high-quality services in the processing, manufacturing and marketing of coffee, cocoa and other products, fostering the all-round development and business capacity of our organisations.

Vision

To be Peru's leading coffee cooperative, recognised worldwide for the quality of its coffee, the strength of its member cooperatives and the wellbeing of the producer families of La Convención.
