In the late 1930s in Saint-Guillaume, Quebec, dairy producers recovering from a major economic crisis sought to take control of their product sales to maximize their returns.

It was then that approximately fifty local farmers decided to establish a cooperative named \"La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Coop\u00e9rative Agricole de Beurrerie de Saint-Guillaume.\" Shortly thereafter, members built a butter and cheese processing plant, which began operations in 1940.
In November 2021, following a merger with three other cooperatives, La Coop Agrilait evolved into a full-fledged dairy processing company named AGRILAIT S.E.C. Its other business sectors were transferred to a newly formed regional cooperative created for this purpose, Agiska Coop\u00e9rative. \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
