people and fruit

Creation of SICAPRA (Collective Interest Agen Prune Farming Society). Creation of the France Prune Union of Cooperatives to develop the production and consumption of Agen prunes.

Diversification into nuts with the acquisition of Ballester.

Creation of the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) for the Agen prune, which has since become a market benchmark.

A company was set up to develop the co-products of prune production: pits and kernels.
