The Cooperativa Agrícola y Lechera de La Unión marks its anniversary during the International Day of Cooperatives by reinforcing its strategy of efficiency, technology and sustainability.
COLUN marks 77 years of operation with a focus on long-term strategic planning. General manager Lionel Mancilla said the cooperative works with prospective scenarios that integrate economic, regulatory, technological and climatic variables.
Innovation plays a central role through the incorporation of robotics and artificial intelligence in industrial plants. These tools complement human work and support continuous improvement of processes and decisions.
Mancilla added that the current challenge is to contribute to decentralization and sustainable development of the country. The cooperative maintains its values of mutual aid and democratic participation as it modernizes operations.
