C.I.O.
what matters
is the origin

Consorzio ortofrutticolo

C.I.O. – Consorzio Interregionale Ortofrutticoli represents the most important Association of Tomato for Industry Producer Organisations in Europe. AINPO and Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro,the two Producer Organisations which make up A.O.P. (Association of Growers’ Organisations) CIO, bring together almost500 members, cultivating each year 11,500 hectares of tomato for a production of approximately 1 million tonnes of fresh tomatoes.
A.O.P. C.I.O., furthermore, includes a smaller supply chain for peas of 26 members who annually cultivate 300 hectares producing over 5,000 tonnes. Thanks to the adoption of Integrated Production specifications and to the controls over the entire supply chain from the earliest phases of purchasing seeds to the production of the plants to transplant the tomato in the field, C.I.O ensures a high standard of quality of the raw material as well as supply chain traceability.
