If there is a sector of the Brazilian economy recognized for its ethics, competitiveness, and ability to make people happy, it is the cooperative sector.
Regardless of the world economic scenario or the political changes, all Brazilian cooperatives – more than 6,600 – remain solid and growing. We have combined economic and social development, productivity and sustainability, individuals and the collective, in a more ethical, fairer and more sustainable business model.

The OCB System works to build stronger, more united cooperativism. Because when cooperatives grow, the country grows together. There are thousands of businesses and initiatives throughout Brazil that contribute to economic and social development.
