UNICA’s sales up 44% since beginning of campaign, with over 107 million kilos

Unica Group has reached a sales volume of more than 107 million kilos since the 2019/20 campaign started on September 1; an increase of 44% compared to the same period of the previous year. The 2018/2019 campaign recorded a 33% increase in sales.

Secondly, the growth also derives from the incorporation of new cooperatives in the UNICA project: Coopaman, Sunaran, Copisi and Nulexport. The growth contributed by these new entries is 23%.

Complaining in a group is fine, but we have to make things happen that we need to happen and there are some of them that depend basically on us,” said de los Ríos.
