MONTECCER
Valuing the Farms and the coffee of the cooperative member safely, this is the value proposition of the Cooperative of Coffee Growers of the Cerrado of Monte Carmelo (monteCCer) which, through the attitude of its members, contributes to strengthening the coffee production chain in the Cerrado.
With almost 30 years of history, monteCCer acts as an extension of more than 150 cooperative farms, providing services with high quality standards such as: batch-to-batch storage; re-benefit and preparation; quality laboratory; Educampo technical assistance; certification and coffee trading, seeking to guarantee, in a sustainable way, value and income for cooperative members and develop programs and actions that generate a positive impact beyond the cooperative.
Among these programs, we highlight “Viveiro de Attitude”, a Socio-environmental Program created in 2019, which aims to conserve, preserve and protect the natural resources of the Cerrado through the commercialization of seedlings of species native to this biome. It meets 11 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, impacting the lives of more than 50 thousand people. The financial result obtained is donated to institutions that care for children and the elderly in the city. All of this is possible thanks to partners such as Cafebras, Cofco, Coocacer Araguari, Expocacer, Illy, Louis Dreyfus Company, NKG Stockler, OFI, Sicoob Montecredi, Sucafina and Volcafé.
Another program under development is the “Coffee Water Producer” which, through public and private partnerships, enables the implementation of conservationist practices and management and improvement of vegetation cover, contributing to the reduction of erosion and sedimentation, and to the increase of infiltration of water in the soil, positively impacting producers and the population.
In this line of producing while caring for the environment, encouraging good planting and management practices, monteCCer is the first cooperative in the world to receive low carbon emission certification, from “Preferred by Nature”.
