Signing of a Tripartite Agreement with Intermarché and APLBC
A new milestone for the dairy sector: signing of a tripartite agreement between Intermarché, APLBC and LSDH Group On 9 October in Laval, Intermarché, APLBC (Association des Producteurs de Lait du Bassin Centre) and LSDH Group signed a new tripartite agreement for consumption milk.
This signing marks the first tripartite collaboration between Intermarché and LSDH Group, an important step in strengthening sustainable and fair models within the French dairy sector.
At the same time, a second tripartite agreement was also signed between Intermarché, APLBC and Novandie for the fresh dairy segment, reflecting a broader collective commitment to the sector.
A signing close to consumers
For the first time, this signing took place directly in an Intermarché store, in front of customers, at the store owned by Mr and Mrs Jouzel in Laval. A highly symbolic choice, underlining the importance of the connection between farmers, processors, retailers… and consumers.
The day began at the farm of Lucette, Pierrick, Florian and Sébastien Hériveau, APLBC member farmers, who warmly welcomed the partners to share their daily life and commitment.
A huge thank you to them for their warm welcome and availability, which made this moment particularly powerful and meaningful.
