Coopadap

What Coopadap does

Coopadap (Cooperativa Agropecuária do Alto Paranaíba) is a member-owned Brazilian agricultural cooperative headquartered in São Gotardo, Minas Gerais, founded on September 28, 1994. The cooperative serves its member farmers (cooperados) in the Alto Paranaíba region and surrounding areas, operating across four product divisions: Hortifrúti (carrot, potato, onion, beetroot, avocado, Hass avocado, garlic), Grãos (soybean, corn, certified Arabica coffee with Cerrado Mineiro Denominação de Origem), Cereais (wheat, triticale, oats), and Sementes (certified soybean and wheat seed varieties from TMG, SOYTEC, TEC, TBIO, ORS, and Embrapa breeding programs). The cooperative emerged after the closure of Cooperativa Agrícola de Cotia, when a group of farmers took over the operation to leverage cooperativism for production and market support.

The cooperative's core technology revolves around certified seed distribution, precision farming practices adapted to Cerrado agroclimatic conditions, and quality-controlled storage and processing infrastructure. Differentiated capabilities include UTZ/Rainforest Alliance/Certifica Minas-certified coffee, premium Hass avocado production, and São Gotardo's positioning as Brazil's national carrot capital. Back-office IT infrastructure includes Grupo Senior (HR/payroll), Brasil Cloud (cloud hosting), Teclib (IT service desk), and Veeam (backup/recovery), with LGPD-compliant data governance.

Coopadap operates a sales-led, direct cooperative-to-member GTM motion. Revenue is generated transactionally through three primary streams: (1) sale of aggregated agricultural commodities (grains, cereals, hortifrúti) purchased from members and sold to domestic commercial buyers, (2) sale of agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizers, crop protection via BASF partnership) and services (grain storage, technical assistance) back to members, and (3) contract seed production and sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined via member agreements and market conditions. The cooperative is governed by a Diretoria and Conselho de Administração with the 2026/2028 term led by CEO Élcio Tamekuni, and holds memberships in 11+ industry associations including SISTEMA OCEMG, ABRASS, IBRAHORT, AAB, and Federação dos Cafeicultores do Cerrado.
