COPA, together with Cogeca, serves as the united voice for farmers and agri-cooperatives in the European Union (EU). With the aim of promoting sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness in EU agriculture, they ensure food security for 500 million people across Europe. COPA represents over 22 million farmers and their families, while Cogeca advocates for 22,000 agri-cooperatives.

As the representatives of European farmers and agri-cooperatives, their mission is to provide agricultural products that meet the expectations and demands of EU citizens. They prioritize market-oriented agriculture that upholds the highest standards in terms of food safety, sustainability, and plant and animal health and welfare. COPA and Cogeca's efforts are further bolstered by the support of the Geopa-Copa group, which works towards fair labor standards in agriculture.

Moreover, they are actively involved with various European platforms and engage in policy areas such as the Green Deal, Food Supply Chain, and CAP Livestock, among others. With their Secretariat offering market monitoring, policy analysis, and communication support, COPA-Cogeca strives to foster a thriving and prosperous agricultural sector in Europe
