La Coopération Agricole Grand Est
La Coopération Agricole is a French nonprofit organization that represents agricultural, agri-food, agro-industrial, and forestry cooperatives. Based in Paris, it employs between 100 and 249 people. The organization advocates for cooperative business models in France and the European Union, promoting sustainability and resilience within the sector. The organization engages in advocacy by representing cooperatives in policy discussions, particularly regarding EU agricultural regulations and sustainability initiatives. It supports its members in adopting sustainable practices and offers sector-specific assistance through subsidiaries, such as La Coopération Agricole Laitière, which aids dairy cooperatives in milk collection and processing. While it does not produce goods directly, it provides policy frameworks, CSR guidance, and market access strategies to its members, who are involved in processing dairy products like cheese and butter.
