The ACOGMAC was organized in 2009 with 183 coffee growers. Lack of capital hampered the group from meeting the orders and demand for arabica beans during its initial years. The cooperative linked up with organizations to beef up its finances, increase production, improve the quality of coffee beans, as well as upgrade farming practices.

Through these linkages, ACOGMAC partnered with the Peace and Equity Foundation (PEF) for trainings on good agricultural practices, among others.

ACOGMAC produces around 500 pouches of ground coffee a month that are sold in Benguet and in Metro Manila. Today, the cooperative has about 300 members that currently produces 700 up to 800 kilos in one harvest season.
