Brought to the Post Office by the producers in the morning, these regional products are delivered by the postmen.
New logistics service developed for farms by La Poste, which distributes products (fruits and vegetables) directly to local customers.
Orders are received by producers who package products in reusable bags with a labelled address and barcode. These bags are deposited at the nearest Post Office and then the postmen are responsible for deliveries during their usual tour.
This Distribution of Regional Products is a new fast, reliable and cost-effective channel. Developed through a partnership with organic farmers this solution quickly found a customer base.
