Cooperative
Structure
Our member-first structure helps you sell your organic grain with confidence.
CPOFA's role as a bargaining/marketing cooperative is to represent its members and coordinate a broad range of sales and market development activities. Our marketers work with members to maintain current inventory data, test for grain quality, establish production and pricing targets, and negotiate favorable spot sales and forward contracts. Our marketers are also in frequent contact with organic grain buyers and processors to learn their needs and to develop sales.
CPOFA acts as the bargaining agent for its members in negotiating the full range of issues involved in contracting sales. Once a sales contract is negotiated, CPOFA coordinates the delivery, quality control, document transfers, and payment settlements associated with the sale. Buyers, whose financial reputation has been researched, pay CPOFA, and once the sale is completed, CPOFA settles payments with individual producers.
​
As a cooperative, CPOFA is governed by a board of directors, elected by the membership. One of the unique features of the CPOFA cooperative, in contrast with other grain traders, is the financial transparency between the marketing organization and member farmers in the marketing of members’ grain.
