About us

Over its 65 years of history, COVAP, Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de los Pedroches, has created a new concept in food production that goes beyond traditional agriculture and stockbreeding.

Our history

The history of COVAP starts in 1959. That's when a group of farmers decided to buy raw materials to feed and raise their livestock. Without their knowing it, the impetus of this group of men and women influenced by their land and supported by their families was the first step in creating a revolutionary project, the livestock cooperative Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de Los Pedroches.

Beginnings

The livestock Cooperativa Ganadera de Pozoblanco, which would become COVAP many years later, was founded with Ricardo Delgado Vizcaíno at the helm. That same year, the name was changed to Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de Los Pedroches.
