About Omer-Decugis & CIE

Omer-Decugis & Cie is a French family-owned group specializing in fresh fruits and vegetables, with a particularly strong focus on tropical and exotic produce. Founded in 1850, the company has been handed down through six generations and has evolved from a wholesale trader on the Parisian markets into an international group listed on Euronext Growth Paris. Its industrial history is closely tied to Rungis, where it progressively strengthened its commercial, logistics and ripening capabilities. The group’s founder, Omer Decugis, is said to have started by transporting oranges from Spain to Paris by donkey in the 19th century, highlighting the company’s long-standing roots in the import and distribution of produce. Today, Omer-Decugis & Cie operates as an international producer, importer, ripener, packer and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables. Its core business centers on tropical and exotic products, with a portfolio built around bananas, pineapples, mangoes, ripe avocados, small exotic fruits and other premium lines. The group also emphasizes higher value-added products such as fresh-cut fruit and ready-to-eat ranges, in response to consumer demand for convenience, variety and quality. Omer-Decugis & Cie’s business model is increasingly vertically integrated. The group continues to invest upstream in sourcing, as well as in logistics and ripening infrastructure, in order to secure supply, improve product quality and better control lead times. This approach enhances its competitiveness in a market where freshness, availability and traceability are critical. The company has also broadened its geographic footprint through acquisitions and development initiatives in West Africa and Northern Europe, reinforcing its sourcing base and supporting international growth. Geographically, Omer-Decugis & Cie now operates across three continents, with activities in Europe, Africa and South America. The group states that it employs nearly 200 people and is recognized for its expertise across the fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain. Among the company’s recent milestones, it reported 2024/25 revenue of €284.8 million, up 15.3%, confirming a sustained growth trajectory. This performance underscores the strength of its positioning in a market supported by consumer trends favoring healthier, more diversified and more responsible food choices.
