Profile
In Chalastra, the largest rice-producing region of Greece, the first Agricultural Rice Producers’ Cooperative of Chalastra was founded in 1917, by a group of producers.
Today it counts 500 members, employs 25 employees and the purpose of the Cooperative, since its establishment, up until today, is to be a driving force and a growth driver for the rural world of the region.
Our Cooperative has created all the necessary structures and now gathers and manages about 40,000 tons of rice annually.
With the necessary technical support and its well-trained staff, the Cooperative offers products to the Greek market, as well as abroad, of high quality and nutritional value.
Since 2011, the Cooperative has been implementing a HACCP system and is certified according to the ISO 22000 : 2005 international standard for food safety management systems.
