Coopagri Bretagne's meat poultry production is based on three principal objectives :

Firstly, to rapidly adapt to the international environment by optimising the whole production system and improving the competitiveness of the cost price.

Secondly, to continue developing quality and traceability approaches on the farms.

And finally to improve communication between the farmers and the slaughterhouses in order to optimise the service and the organisation at all levels.

In industrial terms, Ronsard possesses high-performance slaughtering and processing plants that are ISO 9002 certified: Bignan and Le Faouët in the Morbihan and Losse (Landes) and Jouy (Eure & Loir) for "label' poultry.



 


With Ronsard, the leading French operator in smoked poultry, Coopagri Bretagne has refocused its production system around a recognised brand with diversified outlets in European markets. This high-performance commercial and industrial system is a real asset for tackling the current meat poultry markets.
