The retailer is working hand-in-hand with more than 60 French producers and 18 suppliers to provide consumers with healthy, high-quality products that are less harmful to the environment. Starting this October, CQL potatoes produced in France and grown without synthetic pesticides right from when the plant's first leaves start emerging from the ground, and with no post-harvest chemical treatment will be on sale in stores.
Carrefour wants all of its Quality Lines to be committed to a sustainable farming approach. This involves phasing out all or some of the synthetic pesticides used to produce fruit and vegetables. This is the framework within which Carrefour will be launching the CQL French potato this October. It will be grown without synthetic pesticides right from when the plant’s first leaves start emerging from the ground, and with no post-harvest chemical treatment.
