The cooperative SG-Patria Grande is a commercializer of disposable products, from poliethylene bags for super markets to cardboard boxes and signs. They are located in Olivos, an area of Greater Buenos Aires with a high median income. The cooperative was started out of necessity and ideological conviction in the midst of Argentina's 2002 economic crisis. Since they started working with La Base, they have successfully | completed four projects, always maintaining the best possible relationship. These projects have typically involved in the purchase of merchandise from suppliers-producers, with the intention of getting better prices and assuring a larger profit margin. Because these larger suppliers have minimum purchase requirements, the cooperative has used La Base loans to make purchases that exceed their working capital. |
