As the French leader in canned vegetables, our cooperative agri-food group, Eureden, is present in both large and medium-sized supermarkets and the out-of-home catering market, both in France and internationally. Our producers' vegetables are sold under the Group's brands as well as through French and international private labels.
For over 50 years, our cooperative has been working to offer the best in canned vegetables . To offer quality vegetables that meet consumer expectations, member farmers are supported by the cooperative’s experts throughout the year, from the choice of variety to harvest. Mainly in Brittany, but also in the major vegetable production areas in France, our vegetables are grown by 1,500 cooperative farmers who are passionate about their work and attached to their brands. All farms are located in the immediate vicinity of the production sites. Once harvested, the vegetables are canned and jarred in the Group’s factories, on average less than four hours after harvest for all our large vegetables such as beans, peas, carrots, etc. From field to plate , we meticulously follow the journey of all our vegetables and are therefore committed to the traceability of all our products.
