The markets of these cooperatives were quite different from those of other segments. The markets were more
open, with 33.3 percent operating in the national market and 20 percent operating in international markets.

common destination. Internationally, Italy was the most common international destination.
This segment undertook more research, with 60 percent having conducted some marketing research. The
cooperatives’ managers developed the campaigns in most cases. The objectives of these campaigns were
increasing sales and making people aware of the product. Therefore, the management is highly involved in
marketing and less focused on the product.
Apart from olive oil, these cooperatives also conducted commercial activities in canned olives, vinegar, wine and
cava. This was the segment that most frequently used the Internet as a distribution channel.

cooperatives had their own website, but they updated it only sporadically. Despite being the group with the
greatest presence on the Internet, they were there for image purposes only. Table 3 summarizes the main
characteristics of each segment.
