A production system based on partnership and common growing methods

In 1985, a group of men decided to found SOPA Producers and sales people alike made a commitment to founding a commercial structure capable of supplying a relevant answer to the centralisation policy of the large supermarkets.

From the outset, the commercial strength of SOPA was supported by ambitious goals in terms of quality, innovation and environmental behaviour. Sopa brings together and annual production capacity of more than 50 000 tonnes of vegetables with environmentally friendly methods.

12 men: who are both producers and partners

Located for the greater part near the Sopa headquarters, the producers have developed common methods of production, working in close partnership with the quality and sales teams at SOPA. Sharing their view of their profession, they apply the same high standards to the exclusive production of vegetables for SOPA.
