Copacol opens Grain and Inputs Unit in Penha (PR)

The growing production potential of agricultural properties in Paraná is leading Copacol to continually expand its grain storage capacity. To meet this demand and provide convenience to its members, the Cooperative's most recent investment has just been inaugurated in the District of Nossa Senhora da Penha, Corbélia, which received a modern Grain and Inputs Unit.

The 13,8 square meter structure has ample storage capacity, a storage area for inputs and an office for customer service, in the Coopera Sempre concept. The space is dedicated to receiving the cooperative family and providing all technical assistance, from planting to harvesting. R$121 million was allocated to the project, which includes nine grain storage silos (103,5 tons in total), two buffer silos (750 tons each); two hoppers; two tippers; and two dryers (capacity of 200 tons/hour). In addition, the structure has a 2,5 square meter warehouse for storing inputs and agrochemicals, facilitating deliveries to the cooperative member.

“Copacol is continually investing in infrastructure to provide agility in receiving crops and ensure better service conditions for our members. The new Unit in Penha is an important step that benefits the entire region where we operate, with agility in the service provided, with a large and modern structure. We are ready to welcome our producers to the Unit in Penha, the home of the cooperative family”, says the CEO, Valter Pitol.

With 41 grain and input storage facilities in the West and Southwest of Paraná, Copacol has established itself as one of the largest Brazilian cooperatives, with revenues close to R$10 billion, 9,6 thousand members and 16,2 thousand employees. In addition to grains, the Cooperative also produces pork and milk, and stands out for its pioneering production of poultry and fish sold in 84 countries. With over 180 different products, the brand's purpose is to generate value for members, employees, customers and partners through agribusiness, through sustainable businesses, with respect for human beings, providing income and development in the countryside and in the city.
