Why do individuals and businesses join KAAPA Coop?

KAAPA Coop exists to seek and acquire opportunities that can increase member profits and net worth by providing its members with opportunities to produce, or invest in, value-added agriculture, while offering the public new products or benefits.

Join KAAPA Coop! Your membership will provide you with the opportunity to leave a lasting impact in agriculture.

 

KAAPA COOP MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS & IMPACT:
  • Diversification of assets – The old saying ‘don’t put all of your eggs in one basket’ certainly has it roots in agriculture and is as true today as it ever was. A key to financial stability is diversification and KAAPA Coop can offer this stability by providing you the opportunity to invest in various projects and private companies.
  • Exposure to private offerings – The Securities and Exchange Commission restricts public promotion of private offerings. However, investment groups such as KAAPA Coop may introduce opportunities to it’s members.
  • Exposure to projects – You will be presented with an array of value-added agriculture projects to enhance your investment portfolio.
  • Shared ownership of projects – This ensures that each member has an opportunity to invest in the projects as an equal investor rather than simply buying stock in a company primarily run by a majority owner.
  • Transparency – KAAPA Coop believes in transparency and an open door policy to provide information for its members. This keeps all lines of communication open.
  • Pool of investors with similar philosophies – Over 90% of KAAPA Coop’s members are actively engaged in agriculture. They understand hard work, expect ethical conduct and can relay a common sense approach.
  • Decision making is more closely aligned with the thoughts of the investors – Sharing similar backgrounds and philosophies means the leadership’s decision-making is more closely aligned with member expectations.

KAAPA Coop emphasizes on value-added agriculture opportunities!

WHAT ARE MY DUES USED FOR?
