Les Fruiticulteurs Bio de nos Campagnes is born!
On Friday, 20 January, the General Assembly of the “Fruiticulteurs Bio de nos Campagnes” (Organic Fruit Growers from our countryside) was held in Montauban.
Nearly 70 growers and organic stakeholders were present to participate in the creation of this association, which is essential to the development of the organic sector of our producers.
Why an association?
It makes it possible to group under the same banner, the organic growers, the approved packing stations but also commercial or technical players. At the creation, 61 members from 3 production areas joined the project.
Unanimously elected:
- Chairman : Olivier Sabathié
- Vice chairman : Jean Pierre Antoniolli
- Secretary: Eric Timmerman
- Treasurer: Alain Vialaret
The association will be the technical meeting place so that everyone can bring their expertise to the service of other members, in order to meet the challenges of organic culture. Several visits and technical meetings are already in the program of 2017.
“Fruiticulteurs Bio de nos Campagnes” will promote our countryside, our producers and the fruit of their work.
Blue Whale wishes good luck to this project!
