Now pivotal in Los Santos' economic growth, Coopetarrazú supports over 5,000 members with services like technical aid, low-cost loans, and affordable fertilizers. Predominantly aiding smallholders with less than 4 hectares, it employs around 10,000 people annually in various roles. This coop oversees its coffee's complete journey from harvest to export, ensuring consistent quality through regular evaluations.
