Coopérative Sud Roussillon

What Coopérative Sud Roussillon does

Coopérative Agricole Sud Roussillon (legal entity: Coopérative Agricole Sud Roussillon – Société Coopérative Agricole) is a privately held French agricultural cooperative headquartered in Saint-Cyprien, Pyrénées-Orientales, operating under the DBA "COOP Sud Roussillon" and governed by President M. Valery GOY with registered capital of €98,610.75. With a 50+ year operating history, the cooperative functions as a collective production-and-services vehicle for its farmer members (adhérents), organized through a multi-entity structure spanning SARL VERTIGO (organic orchards), SARL LES SERRES VERMEIL (organic greenhouse production), SARL DRIMAGRI (maintenance, energy and construction), and the GIE VILLERASE shared administrative hub covering accounting, finance, HR and legal functions. It is a member of the Paysans de Rougeline network of roughly 197–230 producers and operates 6 production sites in Pyrénées-Orientales employing 200+ people across functions including tractor drivers, electromechanics, crop managers, packers, accountants, and team leads.

The cooperative's core output is fresh fruits and vegetables produced across approximately 30 hectares of Ecoserres greenhouses (soilless and in-ground cultivation of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini) and over 100 hectares of organic orchards (kiwis, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears, figs, and olives). Its technical backbone is the Ecoserres greenhouse infrastructure integrated with renewable-energy sources — geothermal, biomass, cogeneration, and solar — that the cooperative reports produces energy equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of a city of 30,000 inhabitants. Output carries stacked certifications (Agriculture Biologique, Haute Valeur Environnementale, Zéro Résidu de Pesticides, and Global GAP) that anchor the cooperative's positioning in low-residue and environmentally certified produce.

Commercially, Coopérative Sud Roussillon runs a direct-production-to-market model that bypasses traditional retail wholesale in favor of its own conditioning and packaging operations, with distribution handled primarily through the Paysans de Rougeline network rather than through disclosed named retail or food-service accounts. Its principal customer segments are therefore producer-members (upstream, consuming shared services, conditioning, and market access) and downstream fresh-produce buyers reached via the collective network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the only quantitative pricing signal in source materials is an internal seasonal CDD packaging role paying the French SMIC rate of €12.02 gross per hour. There is no evidence of API/SDK platforms, software products, mobile applications, or third-party integrations, and no AI/ML capability is disclosed. Geographic footprint is limited to the Occitanie region in France.
