What is Paysans d'ici? 

Paysans d'ici is the first supermarket brand in France to offer both organic and Fairtrade products. It was created in 2011 by Ethiquable, a French cooperative production company (SCOP) specialising in the sale of Fairtrade organic products.

Paysans d'ici products are the result of collaboration between three cooperatives: SICARAPPAM, SCOP-TI and Ethiquable. What sets them apart from other companies is that each belongs to its employees.

SICARAPPAM, founded in 1987, is an agricultural cooperative based in Auvergne in the Massif Central. Comprising 49 producers, it is responsible for growing and harvesting over 600 varieties of aromatic and medicinal plants used in the teas and infusions in the Paysans d'ici range. SICARAPPAM is careful to comply with the rules governing the harvesting of wild plants, and is subject to frequent checks. Ecocert, an organic certification body, ensures that each picking site is identified on a map and that harvesting does not affect the stability of the natural habitat or the preservation of species in the harvesting area.

SCOP-TI is a cooperative and participative company based in Gémenos. It has 40 employees who package the teas and infusions.

Finally, Ethiquable is based in Fleurance and has 82 employees, who not only market the products in the Paysans d'ici range but also develop recipes with the help of SICARAPPAM.
