The economic climate has forced large companies to hit the brakes and suspend investments, but agribusiness has been swimming against the tide to stay strong.
As an example comes from South of Minas: The Boa Esperança Agricultural Cooperative (Capebe) is modernizing and restructuring itself to better serve its members.
A bold stance that has resulted in major achievements for the cooperative, with record production received last year.
Capebe has branches in eight municipalities and a strong presence in 78 cities in Minas Gerais. It is the third-largest cooperative in Brazil.
With its strong history and constant focus on evolution, Capebe is an unwavering partner in the pursuit of satisfaction and excellence. Together with its members and customers, it reaffirms its prominent role in the development of agribusiness in southern Minas Gerais.
Training and incentives
The cooperative offered training to its employees, with signs of changes to be implemented and to ensure that improvements can continue in the future.
The cooperative is also implementing another information system, BI Business Intelligence, which improves data processing and results synthesis.
Thus, since 2016, the board has been working to improve internal procedures, implementing technology and actions aimed at greater transparency in management and operational processes.
In early 2020, the cooperative was proud to represent Brazil in China, which brought together big names in BRICS agribusiness.
In 2020, Capebe plans even more changes, always with transparency in management and a focus on growth, because it knows that when the cooperative grows, so do its members, who are its greatest asset.
