AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE KAMPOU - LOWLAND

Our History

Our group was founded in 2006, with over 100 producer members. It remained in the Pre-Recognition phase for six years. During this period, and after all the necessary conditions were met, the producer members were subsidized with plant capital (e.g. trees) and capital equipment (e.g. irrigation systems). As a result, the position of the producers was strengthened in terms of improving the quality of the goods produced, new varieties were introduced that were competitive in the international fruit and vegetable market and were able to strengthen our presence. However, the most important step that was taken during the years of Pre-Recognition was the creation of sorting and standardization facilities for the products of our members.

The implementation of this specific investment amounted to approximately 2,500,000 euros for the construction of a 2,000 sq.m. packaging plant. with mechanical equipment, orange and watermelon sorting and packaging lines, cold storage rooms, office buildings and all the necessary capital needed to create added value in our products.

Today, up to 50 workers are employed on a seasonal basis. The development and economy of our region is based primarily on its arable land. Undoubtedly, the fertile plains of our plain are an incentive for their effective exploitation by old and new producers. The need to standardize and promote agricultural products led us to create a multi-faceted Producers’ Group whose goal is to ensure the quality of the goods produced, their standardization and promotion, as well as the financial security of its members.

Since 2014, A.C. KAMPOU has been implementing operational programs aimed at further strengthening its position in the market by focusing more on the promotion of our products.
