La Coopérative Bio d'Île-de-France

What La Coopérative Bio d'Île-de-France does

La Coopérative Bio d'Île-de-France is a French agricultural cooperative (SCIC/SA) founded in 2014 at the initiative of GAB IDF (Groupement des Agriculteurs Biologiques d'Île-de-France) and approximately 15 farmers, now comprising 120 producers and transformers across the Île-de-France region. The cooperative collects organic fruits, vegetables, and dairy products from its farmer-members and distributes them through two primary channels: collective catering (school canteens, departmental councils, lycées, and company restaurants across Paris and surrounding departments) and specialized organic retail networks (Biocoop and Naturalia).

The cooperative operates a 1,300 m² industrial vegetable processing facility (Légumerie) on the Écopôle de Sénart in Combs-la-Ville, operational since January 2020, producing 1st, 4th, and 5th range vegetables (fresh, washed-cut raw, and cooked respectively). A 1,600 m² logistics platform in Vert-Saint-Denis became operational in July 2025, handling approximately 13,000 orders per year with a stated delivery window of less than 24 hours from harvest to buyer. The cooperative employs 23 staff across its Combs-la-Ville, Vert-Saint-Denis, and Tournan-en-Brie locations.

The revenue model is a cooperative transaction-fee structure where the cooperative aggregates production from farmer-members and sells to institutional buyers and organic retailers. It holds the 'Bio Équitable en France' label (2023) and pursues a fair-pricing model intended to maximize producer remuneration while delivering affordable organic local supply to buyers. The 2024 product launches (tempeh, chips de tempeh, cider vinegar, fresh jars, craft beers, oat flakes) signal ongoing SKU expansion beyond core vegetables and dairy.
