Omer-Decugis & Cie confirms expansion plan and highlights growth potential from vertical integration and premium product development
French fresh produce supplier Omer-Decugis & Cie says it will continue to pursue growth through the expansion of its production, investment in new logistics and ripening capacity, and the development of premium products such as fresh-cut fruit.
In a statement, it announced that broker Portzamparc, part of BNP Paribas Group, had begun analysing its shares and publishing investment recommendations on the stock. That comes shortly after the supplier posted revenue of €284.8mn for 2024/25, up 15.3 per cent on the previous year.
In a report entitled ‘La croissance a la banane’ – essentially, ‘Growth curves upward like a banana’ – the broker reportedly highlighted its growth potential and recommended buying shares in Omer-Decugis & Cie at €11.20.
“Beyond the structural growth of its market, Omer-Decugis & Cie can leverage its investments in production to secure supplies (upstream vertical integration), investments in logistics and ripening capacity to ensure the quality of supplies, the development of high value-added outlets (freshly cut produce), and the expansion of its product range,” the report is quoted as saying.
“External growth could, depending on opportunities, support these development strategies.”
The company itself indicated that any investment would be supported by a “favourable flow of news” based on growth and acquisitions.
