Our approach is based on establishing a win-win partnership with family farmers. The company identifies experienced producers and offers them: (i) the supply of seeds of the “Violette de Galmi” variety. For the first two production campaigns, the company provided them free of charge. Starting from the third campaign (2023-2024), seeds were subsidized at 50%, (ii) close technical assistance and (iii) the commitment to purchase part of their production. Selected farmers must ensure all necessary inputs other than seeds.The conditions of sale are defined in advance by consensus and formalized by signing a contract. It includes, among other things, a minimum guaranteed price 10% lower than the market price of the previous year at the same period, and the adjustment of this price according to the market: market at the time of the first deliveries + 10% and cash payment at delivery
The quality of our products begins in the field and is guaranteed by several factors:
- The seeds supplied to our producers are the varieties most appreciated by consumers
- All our producers receive the same seed varieties, which guarantees product uniformity.
- Our team proposes the technical advices to achieve the best quality of the products, with an extensive use of organic fertilizers and low use of pesticides.
- The effective application of the technical advices is checked regularly by our team: each producer receives a follow-up visit at least twice a week.
- The company may not accept onions that do not meet the required quality standard.
- We secure the traceability of ours products: our partners producers are identified by name and the vegetables of each of them are stored separately.
Our warehouses are specially designed for the optimal conservation of market garden products and are professionally managed: sorting is carried out regularly.
