COOPAGA - Coopérative Agricole de Gabiadji

The Cooperative Agricole de Gabiadji (COOPAGA) was founded in September 1999 in the department of Haut Sassandra, one of several cocoa growing regions in Cote d’Ivoire or the Ivory Coast. COOPAGA has over 2,300 members and is led by a Board of Directors made up of nine members. COOPAGA is also divided into seven sections each of which is run by a selection of delegates to allow the cooperative to run most efficiently. Its production capacity is an estimated 9,000 tons annually. This makes it the leading cooperative in the southwest region.
