COPROCA

Being aware of the international demand for raw materials and finished goods of Alpaca and Llama, Association in of Llama and Alpaca Breeders of the High Andes (AIGACAA) decided to establish a modern tops and yarns company to satisfy this demand.

COPROCA, formed in 1991, is a private company whose main shareholders are made of 1,200 families of Alpaca/Llama breeders who live in the Bolivian Highlands. Due to its organizational/ productive structure, COPROCA has become the leaders at management and productive levels in giving its shareholders direct economic benefits for the purchase of their raw materials at fair and just prices. This brings greater economic benefits to these underprivileged communities.

The main objectives of COPROCA are to improve the conditions of the people in the Bolivian Highlands by education in the breeding of the Alpacas and Llamas and giving greater rewards for improved fine fibre. This increase the overall added value to the raw material and generates a sustainable demand for the fibre, bringing a substantial benefit to the breeders and an increase in the direct and indirect labour in the region. With this comes marked improvements to the economic and social conditions of the members of the communities.
