Production 


To read also...

In order to meet demand from the market while at the same time retaining control over the organic quality of our fruit and vegetables, back in the early years of ProNatura we set up our own "sourcing" unit.

Support for farmers

As part of our wish to organise production in the regions in which we operate (Provence, Brittany, Morocco and Togo, etc.), we have introduced a number of services to help our producer partners as they expand:

 

Advice with organic certification processes,

This includes the provision of assistance to help growers understand production standards and to adapt to them (GlobalGap, etc.), or the selection of varieties adapted to the constraints imposed by the land itself and by organic farming methods, but also to the expectations of our distributors and consumers. It includes technical assistance thanks to an in-house team trained in agricultural production methods and independent agricultural experts in such fields as crop management, harvest and "post-harvest" organisation (packing, cooling, etc.).

 

It also includes the financing of organic certification, advance payment for harvests and help with investments, etc.

 

Along with around a dozen southern French farmers, we also carry out farming and marketing tests with ancient varieties selected for their outstanding taste.

Our guarantees

Following our decision in 1987 to distribute only fruit and vegetables derived from organic farming, we are inspected and certified for all of our sites and activities in France and Africa, by an independent body approved by the public authorities.
