SOCIETE COOPERATIVE AGRICOLE TOM D'AQUI

What SOCIETE COOPERATIVE AGRICOLE TOM D'AQUI does

Tom d'Aqui is a French agricultural cooperative (Société Coopérative Agricole) founded in 2009 in Parentis-en-Born, Landes, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, operating as a producer of greenhouse-grown tomatoes under the Les Paysans de Rougeline collective. The cooperative has 11 member farmers (cooperators) and runs two packaging stations, conditioning approximately 12,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year across cherry (Cerise), vine (Grappe), and premium taste-positioned truss varieties (Gustative/Pépite). Its stated annual turnover is €32 million, with peak-season workforce (including cooperator farms and seasonal staff) reported at 290 full-time equivalents and 114 permanent CDI positions across the wider cooperative.

The company's core technology is the proprietary 'Ecoserre' greenhouse system, which combines closed-loop water management, integrated biological protection (beneficial insects replacing chemical pesticides, enabling Zéro Résidus de Pesticides certification), and energy recovery. Two operational sites are anchored on circular-economy partnerships: the original Parentis-en-Born site (15 hectares) has recovered waste heat from Vermilion Energy's oil-extraction operations since 2009, and the second site, developed in 2014 near the SIVOM du Born household-waste processing facility, recovers heat from waste valorization. A 1,050 kW on-site solar installation provides supplementary electricity. Tom d'Aqui holds five stacking certifications: Label Rouge, Zéro Résidus de Pesticides, HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) Level 3, Global GAP, and IFS Food, alongside GDPR compliance.

Commercially, Tom d'Aqui operates a B2B wholesale model with no publicly disclosed consumer pricing. Products are packaged at the cooperative's two stations and shipped by truck through the Union de Coopératives Rougeline commercial network, which serves French retailers, wholesalers, and food-service customers on behalf of 192 producers organized into 6 Producer Organizations. Distribution is national but anchored in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and marketing (recipe content, Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, local employment events) supports employer branding and top-of-funnel consumer awareness rather than direct sales. The cooperative is led by President Céline Vila, with a board of administrators including Adèle Audoy, Bruno Vila, Franck Vila, and Toby Wright; control sits with the 11 member-cooperators rather than external shareholders.
