In Brazil, agricultural cooperatives play a crucial role as engines of growth and stability, enabling producers to scale collectively and navigate global challenges. Through the voluntary association of farmers with shared values, these cooperatives support small-scale producers in reaching international markets, providing the benefits of scale and a stronger voice on the global stage. Our cooperative system combines tradition with innovation, offering a pathway for Brazilian producers—from family-owned farms to large-scale growers—to thrive while prioritizing sustainability and inclusive growth. This dynamic landscape also sees an increasing role for women in agriculture, a testament to Brazil's evolving, diverse agricultural sector. The Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) empowers small Brazilian coffee producers to access the European market, contributing to the local economy and reinforcing Brazil's commitment to sustainability, quality, and resilience in agribusiness. We invite you to watch the BSCA video to see how these cooperatives are making a difference for Brazilian coffee in the EU and beyond. ☕️
