Target: 100% sustainaible french durum wheat by 2025 
Target: 100% sustainable tomato production by 2030 
Because the French have been saying YES to us for decades, today PANZANI IS SAYING YES to the shift in our sectors 
towards sustainable, principled agriculture that limits its impact on the diversity and soils that have given us so much.
By supporting and backing the agricultural transformation of our 2 strategic crops: durum wheat and tomatoes.
By ensuring that all of our suppliers comply with our ethical requirements and are committed to an environmental approach that aligns with our own.
Farming is a passionate profession! Our farmers are proud to feed the French, and to know that their durum wheat is used to make the Panzani pasta that consumers love so much. They choose to work with Panzani because they share the same commitment to quality. As farmers committed to Panzani’s Responsible French Wheat initiative, they meet precise and rigorous specifications, and implement sustainable farming practices.
Durum wheat grown, milled and processed in France*:
To make good pasta, the quality of the raw ingredients is essential. That’s why Panzani chooses 100% French durum wheat*, renowned for its excellent quality and grown close to our production sites.
*For products with the 100% French wheat logo.
Our commitments to the durum wheat sector:
Wheat free from pesticide residues* by 2025:
More than 1,000 hectares of flower beds planted by 2025
5000 bird sanctuaries by 2025
*<10ppb
By supporting our farmers :
By helping to develop a low-carbon industry through a series of agricultural trials and pilot farms, with the backing of a Scientific Committee and our partners
1,300,000 Tons
= Durum wheat industry in France
= 5% of global durum wheat production
Panzani : 470,000 Tons
or 1/3 of French durum wheat
We mainly obtain our supplies from Italy and Spain, the biggest tomato-producing countries in France’s immediate vicinity, where growing conditions are ideal.
produced for Panzani are grown in open fields without the use of greenhouses, so that they can ripen in the sun during the appropriate season
, which gives them their full flavour.
In order to realise our ambition of producing 100% of our tomatoes through sustainable channels by 2030, we have launched a regenerative agriculture initiative with the NGO Earthworm and Ideagro experts on the ground in Spain. 
This approach aims to address the 3 major challenges facing tomato cultivation:
• the preservation of water resources: monitoring and optimising water consumption on plots equipped with water meters and tensiometers
• soil health: introduction of plant canopies, reduced fertilisation, implementation of biosolutions
• the reduction of inputs
We are currently supporting and training farmers to implement these regenerative farming practices.
Results to date: in 2022 we implemented this approach on some fifteen plots, with the aim of rolling it out more widely to our producers, particularly in France.
Panzani is actively involved in developing the industrial tomato sector in France.
France currently has a deficit, with a production of 160,000 tons of tomatoes compared with the French industry’s requirement of 1.1 million tons.
Since 2023, the company has been obtaining some of its supplies in France, and is working with its partners on a plan to increase volumes.
