Pickles

Heard about happiness therapy ?

We are convinced that nature is our best partner for the sustainable production of pickles. As part of our VIA (Very Important Actions) sustainability program, and in response to the challenges of the complex work involved in pickle cultivation, we have established 3 objectives in the Pickles pillar :

OBJECTIVES 2030

100% SUSTAINABLE PICKLES

100% of Reitzel pickles will come from sustainable and/or environmentally certified agriculture, while establishing a long-term viable pickle culture for growers.

TOWARDS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Progressive integration of regenerative/agroecological practices in all our supply chains.

MORE ORGANIC AND LOCAL PRODUCTS

50% of our branded products will be organic and/or local, through consistent sourcing and production sites adapted to this new model.

Our close collaboration with Global G.A.P.

Between 2017 and 2021, we conducted trials on our R&D farms with over 30 farmers. These pilot trials were inconclusive: local specificities and the requirements and needs of very small-caliber cucumber production proved incompatible with India's Global Gap restrictions.
However, we are maintaining a partnership planned for 2023 in Eastern Europe. A pilot project has been proposed to our agricultural partners for an initial test phase.
