CUMA Pays de la Loire

CUMA Pays de la Loire is the regional CUMA federation supporting mixed farming in western France.

The Union des Cuma des Pays de la Loire (UCPDL) is a federation of agricultural machinery cooperatives operating across four French departments: Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, Sarthe and Vendée. CUMA stands for Coopérative d'Utilisation de Matériel Agricole (Cooperative for Use of Agricultural Machinery). The Union was created in 2008 to unify the political and organisational resources of these four regional sections. Individual Cuma cooperatives are farmer-owned entities where members collectively purchase, own and share agricultural machinery and equipment, reducing individual equipment costs and environmental impact through shared use. The network serves to support, advise and coordinate member cooperatives at a regional level, providing training for both staff and farmers, financial management tools like MyCuma accounting software, machinery booking systems, and assistance with governance and administration. The website lists specific job openings for mechanics, operators and administrative roles within member Cuma cooperatives, indicating active machinery operations. The Union's Nantes-based headquarters provides departmental contacts for each of the four sections and maintains an online directory of individual Cuma cooperatives.
