In 2021 Coinga was recognized with the “Best Cooperative in Spain in Rural Development” award granted by Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de España thanks to our commitment to the territory and to the more than 60 associated farms for which we are a guarantee of continuity.

The variety of products, the push to develop cheese under the Mahón-Menorca Protected Designation of Origin, the innovative character, the commitment to quality, as well as the services we offer to members and the initiatives and sponsorship of various sports and social organizations, were some of the most valued issues.

This award gives us the opportunity to put Menorca on the map as a rural region, a dream island where tourism is the main economic source.

Our sector takes care of the landscape and our traditions, but the activity we carry out is not gardening, it is a real economic activity, which generates value and livelihoods, capable of competing at the highest level for the quality of our products and work systems from a small island of 701 km².

Coinga was one of the first cooperatives in Spain to integrate the entire process, from the primary sector to the consumer. Almost 60 years later we are still in Alaior, a town of 9,000 inhabitants, innovating, improving our processes and products, striving to explain our values and commitments, aware of the responsibility that feeding people entails and fighting for the sustainability of the dairy sector in Menorca.
