Our Story
More than a decade of excellence.

It all began in 2009, during an economic tour initiated by the Head of State. The Governor of the Central Region, Koumpa Issa, visited the farm of Mr. EDZIGUI André MARIE-FLORET, now Chairman of the Board. With its 400 hectares located in Ngougoumou, in the Soa district, this strategic farm presented exceptional potential for regional agricultural development.

Faced with this wealth and its central location, the Governor made a historic wish: to create a regional cooperative capable of uniting forces, structuring production, and combating illicit and destructive trade.
This is how COOPACE COOP-CA was born, where the vision of a leader and the collective energy of its members unite to transform every hectare into sustainable opportunities and every harvest into shared success.
