Who we are
We are one of Italy’s leading agricultural cooperative companies specialized in the production, processing and trade of fruit, vegetables and wine.
Origins and Commitment to the Territory
Agrintesa was officially born in 2007 from the merger of 3 large Emilia-Romagna cooperatives (Intesa, Emiliafrutta, Agrifrut) but our roots actually go back to the 1950s when many small agricultural producers founded cooperatives. Over the years several of these cooperatives became more structured through incorporations and aggregations.
quality and integrated supply chain
We proudly carry on the tradition of our territories, growing high quality fruit, vegetables and wine grapes. A heritage of experience that is renewed every day thanks to the application of the most modern agronomic techniques, the constant assistance of our technical team to members and continuous investment in innovation. This is how Agrintesa has established itself as a benchmark in the industry, in Italy and abroad.
Our activities are divided into three divisions that, together,
constitute and strengthen our presence in the territory and markets:

In order to better manage and enhance fruit, vegetable and wine production, at Agrintesa we have equipped ourselves with efficient processing and packaging facilities and have established an extensive network of business and consortium partnerships over time.
Conventional fruit and vegetable products are marketed through the company Alegra, which is our business partner and reference point for Italian fruit and vegetables in relation to modern Italian and European distribution (more than 50 percent of our production is exported to 55 countries). We adhere commercially to Valfrutta Fresco for the distribution of premium fruit and vegetable products, the commercialization of organic products is entrusted to Brio SpA.
