Rungis is a partner of the 2009 "Les Défis de l'Innovation" competition
Open to all retailers specialized in fruit and vegetables, this major competition organized by the UNFD rewards any project (product or service) that gives a noticeable, long-term competitive edge to any company in its catchment area. After an initial selection made on the file (with photos), 11 retailers were chosen and visited by Ctifl agents. The three winners are:
- Défi d’Or award to Mrs Brigitte Delanghe - Le Fruitier de Courrière (59) for her “Wednesday workshops” (a meeting where she shares her know-how with her customers);
- Défi d’Argent award to Mr Didier Marty - Fresh’Heure (30) for his website www.freshheure.fr (online orders for fruit baskets);
- Défi de Bronze award to Mr Dominique Ferré - Le Fruitier Racine (44) for his innovative, ecological fruit packaging.
For this 2008/2009 edition, Rungis Market gave a special “Coup de Cœur” prize to Mr Paul Joly - Le Goumois Gourmand (25) for his greengrocer van that services isolated inhabitants.
They received their prizes (€2,000 for the Défi d’Or; €1,000 for the Défi d’Argent, €500 for the Défi de Bronze, a trip worth €1,000 for the Coup de Coeur) on 23 February 2009, at the Salon de l’Agriculture (stand Isica Ag2r).
