Coope Tarrazu was established in 1970 and since that time has become one of the major contributors to the economic development in the Los Santos region of Tarrazu. Currently Coope Tarrazu has 2,600 members. The Co-op assists in getting its members technical assistance, low cost loans and low prices for fertilizers. One of the most important aspects of the cooperative is the economic benefit for the region and the members. Annually, the Co-op employs approximately 10,000 people; either directly in coffee production or in a supporting role. Coope Tarrazu is currently controlling the entire production process, from picking the cherries through the milling, drying and exporting procedures thereby assuring consistent quality each year.
