Omer-Decugis & Cie reported strong first-half growth for fiscal 2025/26, with revenue increasing 16.3% year-on-year to €163.3 million as demand for fresh and exotic produce continued to grow across European retail channels.
The France-based fresh produce group said second-quarter revenue reached €73.7 million, up 12.8% compared with the same period last year. Growth was driven mainly by strong performance in bananas, pineapples, mangoes and avocados, alongside higher retail traffic in its distribution activities.
The company said its SIIM division generated €131.6 million in first-half revenue, up 18.6%, supported by continued demand in the BAMA category and strong avocado sales in the French market.
Omer-Decugis also highlighted a successful lychee campaign during the period. The Bratigny division reported revenue growth of 7.6% to €31.7 million after store operations were consolidated into a single site.
Why it matters
Fresh produce demand remains one of the strongest-performing areas in European supermarket supply chains, particularly in imported fruit categories such as avocados and mangoes.
The latest results from Omer-Decugis show that retailers are continuing to invest in premium and exotic produce ranges despite ongoing logistics pressure and higher operating costs.
The company also warned that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to create risks around energy and logistics expenses. However, it said the impact on operations remains under control for now, with cost increases gradually being passed through the supply chain.
Omer-Decugis confirmed that construction work at its Dunkerque logistics site remains on schedule, with commissioning expected by the end of 2027. The project is designed to strengthen upstream sourcing capabilities and expand international logistics capacity.
The company said it expects commercial momentum to continue during the second half of the financial year, supported by the African mango campaign and sustained European market demand.
For the wider France fresh produce sector, the update signals continued resilience in imported fruit categories, even as supply-chain costs remain volatile across Europe.
