BLACKCURRANT BUD BURGUNDY ABS

Over the last 10 years, Firmenich has developed strong relationships with two cooperatives in Burgundy, the first region for quality and volume of blackcurrant buds.
These cooperatives have been created by 70 local producers.
Since the 2000’s, they turned their manual harvest into a mechanical one by adapting existing machines to their specific needs.
Firmenich is part of the long-term development of the cooperatives, for example through the establishment of 5 years purchase commitments.
