Friday 22 October 2004
Growers Les Vergers de la Courtoise, based in the town of Isle sur la Sorgue near Cavaillon, have been awarded the certification 'Agriculture Raisonnée', a French certification which recognises efforts to protect the environment.
The certification is valid for all the company's production of apples, pears, nectarines, apricots and peaches, and is in addition to the EUREPGAP certification which was granted last June.
