The company distributes profits to its farmer members, reflecting its cooperative structure, and operates in Canada, the United States, and internationally through exports. Unlike many competitors, Agropur combines a large, member-owned cooperative with a broad product lineup and extensive B2B and retail reach, supported by a fully integrated supply chain. Its goal is to provide dependable dairy products and ingredients to consumers and businesses while supporting its farmer members and maintaining scale and supply security.
