About ACOA

ABOUT ACOA

The Alpaca Coalition of America was formed in 2013 to help meet the needs of the maturing alpaca livestock industry through efforts that support both the profitable development of the markets for alpaca products and the success of other participants in the value chain. The organization is also focused on underpinning the sustainability of alpaca farms through targeted research in key areas of alpaca husbandry.

Those interesting in joining ACOA’s work and benefiting from its results can subscribe to the organization at no cost until July 2015. That said, the organization’s scope will expand in a way linked to its access to resources, so periodic project funding opportunities will be announced. We encourage you to visit this website regularly to learn about the work we are doing.

We also encourage you to contact ACOA with any advice, suggestions, or questions you may have. Please use the e-mail form on our contact page, and an ACOA board member will get back to you as soon as possible.

ACOA is incorporated as a 501 (c)(5) organization.
