OPATNAS aims to ensure sustainable growth in agriculture, fishery and forestry, by emphasizing environmental conservation, and developing related industries. To this end it promotes environmentally friendly agricultural technologies and a harmonious and balanced regional development of land cultivation and animal husbandry. It also emphasizes the need to secure farm income sufficient to maintain the viability of farm enterprises based on environmental considerations, and maintaining viable human settlements in rural areas.

KOPATNAS as a co-operative movement should be able to play a strategic central role in the eradication of rural poverty, in the viability and sustainability of rural communities, in establishing an economic base for farmers and other rural entrepreneurs.
