COOMAP is forming the first group of producers to participate in Educampo, which is a platform to promote technical and management assistance to the farmers. In addition to COOMAP and Sebrae, Credivar – Varginha Region Credit Cooperative also participates in the group organization.
There will be 20 to 30 producers taking part of the program, who must be members at both COOMAP and Credivar. André Moraes Reis, who is the Agricultural Engineer accredited by Educampo will be the consultant who’ll conduct this project.
A meeting with producers was held last Thursday, when all precautions were taken to prevent COVID 19. During the meeting, it was defined that participants will sign a contract now and assistance will begin in August.
