Idyl fresh lettuce division
In all, the Idyl fresh lettuce division brings together 50 conventional and organic producers.
Commitment and quality: Lettuce from Provence
To the south of Avignon, Idyl plays a major role in organising the marketing of lettuce from Provence. Idyl works with the best producers in the region and is committed to sustainable partnerships to better plan for supplies, jointly draw up specifications and set appropriate selling conditions. The consideration of all stakeholders’ demands and maintaining relationships on a daily basis are essential to forging a sector that is traceable, sustainable and fair.
Organic lettuce from Provence
More committed to organic farming than ever, Idyl works closely with organic producers in the Provence region. For this new organic range, Idyl is offering three popular lettuce varieties: batavia, oak leaf and butterhead lettuces, grown between Avignon and Saint-Martin-de-Crau by nearly 30 organic producers with a potential yield of 10 million heads of lettuce. The crops are grown under shelter, in high tunnels or in multi-span greenhouses. Thanks to a large network of partners in Provence, three lines will be continually supplied from mid-September through April.
In 2020, Idyl obtained the organic certification for its new farm located between Avignon and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
The harvests from this new site reinforce an already perfectly secure offer. To guarantee its customers an optimal level of quality and freshness, this new production site is in the immediate vicinity of the packing station and the shipping platform.
Packaging
In both conventional and organic formats, the packaging can be adapted to all requests: Ifco, Ifco black, Europool, mixed packages, Flowpack and Flowpack mixed, pouches. Packaging station is certified IFS Food v 6.1 — higher level.
