A product with unique characteristics
IT/CT 20150080 UNI EN ISO 22005:2008 Traceability of the supply chain from the selection of the propagation material to the fruit and vegetable product.
The tomato of our supply chain: traced from the field to the processing industry, total absence of GMOs, produced in a sustainable way, 100% Made in Italy and 100% from mechanical harvesting.
When we talk about the quality of our tomato we do it with pride, because it is a product with unique characteristics.
For several years as leader we have been verifying that the tomato is completely traced in all its phases that accompany from planting in the nursery to delivery to industry, cultivated avoiding the use of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) with the utmost respect for the environment, ecosystems and of human safety reflecting the values of our Made in Italy.
Our certification body SGS Italia has been certifying for many years the traceability and traceability of our supply chain; in 2020 we added two other important cornerstones that distinguish our tomato in the certification: a product 100% of Italian origin and 100% coming from mechanical harvesting.
Find out more about our certifications on the Quality page and on the Values page of our supply chain of our site.
Good practices for our members - new guidelines
The requests for certified and cultivated tomatoes according to the best agricultural practices for consumers, the environment and workers have been constantly growing in recent years.
For this reason, as an Association we have defined guidelines for our members, in order to be ready for the next challenges that the market will require us.
We talk about it in detail on the “Sustainable Supply Chain” page.
For us it represents a very important innovative step, to give the answers that consumers are looking for and spread our vision to our partners and suppliers.

Tomato. Good For You, Good For Research - 2020 Edition
The tomato is a good and healthy product. A sustainable supply chain attentive to the social issue.
We have decided to support the “Tomato. Good for you, good for research” promoted by the Fondazione Umberto Veronesi, ANICAV (Associazione Nazionale Industriali Conserve Alimentari Vegetali) and RICREA (Consorzio Nazionale Riciclo e Recupero Imballaggi Acciaio).
On 24 and 25 October hundreds of volunteers will be present in the main Italian squares to distribute a packs of 3 cans of tomatoes against a small donation. It will be used to support research against childhood cancer.
This third edition of project needs maximum support, more than ever, because there are too many children and adolescents who fall ill with cancer and increasingly advanced technologies are needed to help them.
On 24 and 25 October choose to support research, for a better world for you and for all the children who need your help now.

Interviewed by Agrimpresa, we talk about transplants started overcoming the difficulties of the moment
Guarantee the continuity of our field. This is the obiective that we have given ourselves together with our members in this difficult period caused by the Coronavirus. Our business has adapted and has never stopped. There are many problems at the moment: transplants have started slowly due to the risk of cold return and the lack of manpower. However, our members are continuing to work, to guarantee the supply of processing tomatoes for the next collection, protecting the safety of their employees. Our Head of the Technical Department Previati Davide talks about it on the number 5 of Agrimpresa outgoing in May and available at this link https://agrimpresaonline.it/n-5-maggio-2020-il-covid-scuote-il-mercato
ASIPO adheres to the #iocomproitaliano campaign
Dear consumer,
in this particular moment that involves all of us in facing an unprecedented health and social emergency, ASIPO adheres to the promotional campaign of Italia Ortofrutta ( http://www.italiaortofrutta.it/ultime-notizie/1021-campagna-di-sensibilizzazione-per-promuovere-il-consumo-di-prodotti-ortofrutticoli-freschi-di-origine-italiana ) and we are relaunching their message.
We are all even more committed to defending the work and profitability of agricultural businesses.
Our sector, today more than ever, become strategic for the protection of the country. The closure of borders and the limitation of mobility, in addition to the constant state of widespread danger, make it difficult not only human relationships, but also the development of the daily workload.
An effort that all producers are making to guarantee the Italians the fresh food necessary for an healthy and daily diet.
For this reason ASIPO has decided to participate in the awareness campaign launched by Italia Ortofrutta aimed at promoting the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables of Italian origin. Here the hastag: #iocomproitaliano that is the translation of #Ibuyitalian
We also want to reassure you that the tomato marketed by ASIPO, grown by our producers in the Northern Italy and processed in Italy by our customers, is subjected to particular industrial transformation processes and is a perfectly safe product. The entire production process is controlled according to the strictest hygienic-sanitary protocols with the help of high temperatures, in regularly sanitized environments and with the use of periodically sterilized machinery.
In the previous weeks, EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) also reassured that there is no evidence that food is the source of possible virus transmission (the full article: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/coronavirus-no-evidence-food-source-or-transmission-route). Our tomato and its derivatives are products that distinguish the goodness and quality of Made in Italy all over the world.
This is for us a message and a way to highlight the great commitment of Italian fruit and vegetable companies, trying to stimulate the internal market to recognize the professionalism and dedication of the fruit and vegetable sector.
On the Facebook page of Italia Ortofrutta (https://www.facebook.com/ItaliaOrtofrutta/) the post created for the communication campaign has been published. We ask you, to amplify the message, to share it together with the hashtag#iocomproitaliano, because as always, union is strength and our Union is the strongest of all and will also overcome this moment of difficulty.
Together we will do it!

Project CREA – Results 1st year of work (2019)
The results of the first year of experimentation of project ” Innovative agronomic techniques to increase the dry substance content and the degree brix in industrial tomato” are available. The aim of the project is to study varieties and techniques of agronomic management to improve the raw material quality in terms of soluble solids content (degree brix) and total solids (dry residue).
In this project ASIPO collaborates with 10 other Producer Organizations and everyone are associated with the Italia Ortofrutta Unione Nazionale, for the National Strategy CMO in Fruit and Vegetables 2018-2022.
