What Omer-Decugis & Cie Group does

Omer-Decugis & Cie Group is a sixth-generation family-controlled international producer, importer, ripener, and distributor of fresh and exotic fruits and vegetables, headquartered at the Paris-Rungis International Market. The Group's core operating subsidiary, SIIM (Société Internationale d'Importation), manages a fully controlled supply chain spanning production assets in Ecuador (Selvatica bananas, Terrasol pineapples), Côte d'Ivoire (Dibra mangoes, Sopromat packaging station, Vergers du Bandama), Madagascar (lychees), and other West African origins, through to ripening, packaging, and distribution across Europe via a 127,000-tonne nationwide ripening platform (expanding to 174,000 tonnes) anchored at the 12,000 m2 Rungis facility. A wholesale arm, Bratigny, operates more than 1,000 fruit and vegetable references from 24 doors in Hall D2 of the Rungis market and is one of only 18 Fel' Excellence-certified fruit and vegetable wholesalers in France.

The Group's product portfolio is structured around branded tropical-fruit lines: Selvatica bananas and Terrasol pineapples (the world's first TUV Rheinland-certified carbon-neutral pineapple) from Ecuador, Dibra mangoes from West Africa, ready-to-eat avocados processed through Aweta optical sorting, and Madagascar lychees. Technical differentiation rests on controlled-atmosphere ripening chambers, integrated chain-of-custody under Global G.A.P., IFS Food Higher Level certification (annual since 2014), AEO customs authorization (since 2015), Fairtrade and ECOCERT organic credentials, and an in-house quality function led by a five-person technical team. Adjacent capabilities include SIIM's status as the first exporter of West African mangoes across four producing countries and the Group's long-standing lychee marketing contract with Madagascar's GEL.

Omer-Decugis & Cie generates revenue primarily through B2B sales of imported, ripened, and packaged fresh exotic fruits and vegetables to European retailers (primary segment), food-service operators, and wholesale buyers, using a quote-based pricing model with no public disclosure of unit economics. The Group reports FY 2023/24 revenue of €247.4 million (+19.9%), FY 2024/25 revenue of €284.8 million (+15.3%), and H1 2025/26 revenue of €163.3 million (+16.3%). Since its January 2022 listing on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker ALODC), the Group has executed a sequenced expansion program — Anarex (2021), Sorgues/Avignon logistics platform (2022), Champaris France (2023), Aweta sorting integration (2023), Dunkirk platform award and CMA CGM partnership (2025), Vergers du Bandama acquisition (2025), PrepWorld France joint venture with BerryWorld/AgroBerries (2026), and an Executive Committee expansion tied to a 2030 strategic plan — that broadens its footprint into Northern Europe, fresh-cut fruit, and Northern European retail channels.
