In 2024, the cooperative\u2019s producer members produce 700 tonnes of white, purple, green and purple asparagus, some of which is organically grown, on a total area of 200 hectares. The personalised support it provides for specific equipment and labels accentuates this increase in performance. To reinforce their desire to be a major player, Fleuron d\u2019Anjou is part of the producers\u2019 association that is actively working with IDfel Val de Loire to create the specifications that support the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Asperges du Val de Loire project. This identification will promote the know-how of producers, the specificities of asparagus grown in the Val de Loire region and will provide consumers with traceability on the origin and superior quality of their product. The Fleuron d\u2019Anjou cooperative hopes to respond to the consumer trend that is now focused on a France origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three themes and technical workshops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asparagusworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fleuron-dAnjou_asperges02-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34293\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agrivaloire @ Engels Machines<\/strong> demonstrated their new \u2018EcoSpader\u2019 ridger.
