The Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Korinthia (UACK)

 

The Union was founded in 1919 intended to highlight, throughout the idea of cooperation, the qualitative Korinthian products. With the help of scientists, it consults and leads the producers-members throughout the cultivation stages so as to produce high quality products.
In order to fulfil this purpose, it collaborates with the Departmental Cooperative Unions, the competent Cooperative Organizations, and the Agencies of the Greek Ministry of Agriculture as well as the competent local authorities at a prefectural level.
