# Agricultural Data Collectors Acopio Does Necessary Work for Coffee Producers in Latin America By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-08 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acopio References: [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/45221560) & [acopio.org](http://acopio.org) Mostly working with [coffee producers in Latin America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/win-win-coffee), Acopio is bringing a simplified and effective way for agricultural workers to plan and make more profits. Cooperatives can use technology such as cell phones, tablets and computers in order to take hold of the data and then, of course, make a decision with it along the value change. More than this, Acopio offers products not only for cooperatives and agricultural businesses that are owned by farmers, but also for financiers and buyers. The idea behind this is to allow for a stronger relationship between producers, financiers and buyers. Acopio's CEO is Paul Goodman, who has a Bachelor's of Arts in International Affairs from GWU and a Master's of Arts in Information Management from UC-Berkeley. **Contact Information** Acopio [website](http://acopio.org/) Acopio on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Acopio) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Simplified Agricultural Data:** Acopio is leveraging technology to simplify data collection and analysis for coffee producers in Latin America. - **Enhanced Relationships:** Acopio aims to facilitate stronger relationships between producers, financiers, and buyers in the agricultural industry. - **Data-driven Decision Making:** Acopio's tools enable agricultural businesses to make informed decisions based on data along the value chain. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Coffee Production:** Acopio's data collection solutions provide disruptive innovation opportunities for coffee producers in Latin America. - **Agricultural Cooperative Management:** Acopio's technology helps cooperatives streamline their operations and improve profitability. - **Financial Services:** Acopio's products cater to financiers and buyers, creating potential disruptive innovation opportunities in the financial services industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Puerto Rican Food Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/produce-application.md) - [Retail Crop Yield Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-agritask.md) - [Three-in-One Farming Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-platform.md) - [Tech-Advanced Seed Research Operations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-research.md) - [Family-Owned Mexican Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/del-caf.md) - [Agricultural Support Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agricultural-support-project.md) - [Agricultural Soil Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biome-makers.md) - [AI Coffee Roast Analyzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/difluid-omix.md) - [Specialty Coffee Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-marketplace.md)
