Your harvests, our cooperative

Do you grow apples, keep bees or gather herbs on the Imouzzer Kandar plateau? Join the cooperative: together we process, sell and share.

Let's talk, simply

No paperwork needed to get started. Message us or leave your details: we will call you back and explain everything in person.

Who can join?

The cooperative brings together producers from Imouzzer Kandar and the surrounding villages. Small farm or large, there is room for everyone.

Apple orchards
You have apple trees: your apples become juice, cider vinegar and jam.
Beehives
You keep bees: the cooperative packs and sells your honey.
Aromatic herbs
You grow or gather thyme, mint, lemon verbena…: the cooperative dries and sells them.

Exact membership conditions (area, minimum production, commitments): [to be set in the bylaws].

How does it work?

01
A member share
To join, you buy at least one member share: it is your place in the cooperative, which you co-own.
02
You bring your harvest
You deliver your apples, honey or herbs to the cooperative, which records them in your name.
03
You receive a patronage refund
At the end of the year, if the cooperative has a surplus, part of it goes back to members according to what each has contributed: this is the patronage refund.
04
One member, one vote
At the general assembly, every member votes and carries the same weight, whatever the number of shares they hold.

Value of one member share: [Amount to be set in the bylaws]
How the refund is calculated: In proportion to each member's contributions; detailed rules [to be set in the bylaws].

The cooperative is governed by Moroccan Law No. 112-12 on cooperatives.
At least five members are needed to form it.
Each member has one vote at the general assembly, whatever the number of shares they hold.
The bylaws, adopted by the founding members, set the value of the member share, each member's commitments and the conditions for leaving.

The cooperative is being formed and its bylaws are in preparation. If you contact us now, we will keep you updated at every step.

Do I have to bring my whole harvest?

Not necessarily. The share of the harvest to be delivered will be set by the bylaws and internal rules: [to be specified].

When do I get paid?

Payment terms for delivered harvests are [to be defined]. The patronage refund is paid after the general assembly approves the year's accounts.

Can I leave the cooperative?

Yes. The bylaws set the conditions for leaving and for repaying your member share.

Do I need to fill in paperwork or have an e-mail address?

No. A phone call or a WhatsApp message is enough to start: we explain everything in person and help you with the formalities.

Am I committing to anything by filling in the form?

No. It is simply a first contact: you join later, by buying a member share.
