Program
Indigenous Family Agriculture
Coopaibra strengthens the agricultural, agro-industrial and livestock production of indigenous cooperative members across Brazil — connecting production, processing, logistics and market access through a cooperative structure.

Why indigenous production
Income, food security and autonomy
Indigenous family agriculture combines traditional knowledge, biodiversity and the territorial scale of the cooperative communities. Coopaibra is the institutional structure that enables sustainable production, strengthens value chains and brings members' products to market — while respecting the autonomy of each people.
- Income and employment for indigenous cooperative families.
- Sustainability of natural resources and respect for each people's productive traditions.
- Technical training for members, with study grants and on-the-ground capacity building.
- Working capital, funding and equipment for productive activity.
What we produce
Coopaibra products
Traditional and expanded production through integrated systems across seven states and the four biomes. The products below reflect the diversity of cooperative peoples.
Corn
Grown both in traditional systems and in integrated Crop-Livestock-Forestry (ICLF) systems. Strong potential for expansion.
Coffee
Member-grown coffee in sustainable systems, focused on quality and on value chains that recognise indigenous origin.
Livestock
Cattle raising in integrated systems, aligned with the ICLF approach and the territorial realities of each community.
Rice
Commercial-scale production in communities with productive aptitude, with cooperative mechanisation and outbound logistics.
Pineapple and fruits
Tropical fruit cultivation including pineapple, banana, watermelon and açaí — a strong fit for the economy of the standing forest.
Indigenous-origin brand
From the village to the market
Members' products reach the market with identity, traceability and origin value. Coopaibra supports in-community processing and access to commercial channels that recognise indigenous work.
Productive strategy
Strategic fronts
Four fronts guide Coopaibra's cooperative production work.
01
Scaling production
Growing members' output in scale and quality, with techniques that respect each people's traditional ways of life.
02
Logistics and processing
Collection, transport and shared processing/distribution infrastructure for indigenous production.
03
ICLF — Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forestry
Integrated systems that restore degraded land, generate short-term income and keep the forest standing in the long term.
04
Market access
Bringing members' production to domestic and international markets — with recognised indigenous origin and traceability.
Partnerships for indigenous agriculture
We seek commercial, technical and financial partners to scale members' production — with respect for each people's consultation protocol and community autonomy.
