National varietal comparison project for industrial tomatoes
Since 2019 ASIPO participates in the Research and Experimentation project entitled “NATIONAL VARIETAL COMPARISON PROJECT FOR INDUSTRIAL TOMATOES AND TO INCREASE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF CULTIVATION BY REDUCING WATER CONSUMPTION AND INTRODUCING BIODEGRADABLE MULCH” in collaboration with 12 other Organization of Fruit and Vegetable Producers (OP), together with CREA – Council for research in agriculture and the analysis of the agricultural economy with the Horticulture and Nursery Research Center – Pontecagnano office (CREA OF) and to our National Union – Italia Ortofrutta.
In the images you can see the inspections of the past few days at our experimental field in Felino (PR). During the visits was also carried out the test of deficit irrigation for biodegradable mulch.

A new identity
The last months we announced a contest open to the students of Liceo Artistico Statale Paolo Toschi in Parma to realize of our new brand.
A project that involved and stimulated us and that allowed us to reward three young students for their commitment and passion they have reserved for us.
You can begin to see our new brand on our fields and as soon as on the overall corporate communication.
The tomato cultivated by ASIPO is 100% of Italian origin and cultivated according to the most rigorous standards of food safety and sustainability. We cultivate it with love, respecting the environment, workers and consumers and deliver it to the processing tomatoes industries that will transform our product in the tomato sauce and pulp which are used every day in kitchens all over the world.
We would like to thank all the students of the fifth and third class who participated, hoping in the future to have other opportunities to work with students and schools to let them to know our world and the tomato industry supply chain.
Furthermore, we would like to thank our technician Selena Sarli who followed the whole project in these months.
ASIPO for the social
Last December we allocated 5,000.00 euros to the Pediatric Unit of the Parma Hospital and 5,000.00 euros to the Pediatric Unit of the Piacenza Hospital for the purchase of medical equipment.
These donations were accepted with successive Management Determination n. 08 of 08.02.2022 of the ASL of Piacenza and the company protocol at n. 52534 of 23.12.2021 and subsequently supplemented with a note registered at n. 52847 of 27.12.2021 of the Hospital of Parma.
Our company takes care the need of our community. For this reason we decided to give this contribution to our territory, to do our part to support the development and improvement of our society.
Among the various important social issues we decided to focus on the world of childhood and, in particular, on the pediatric diseases. For this reason our donation has gone to our hospitals as a contribution to purchase the necessary equipment to assist young patients and treat them in the best possible way.

Our certified and "strengthened" sustainable supply chain
Our association takes a further step towards a sustainable supply chain to become a reference point for consumers and offer our customers unique features and guarantees.
With these objectives we have laid the foundations for the establishment of a “strengthened” certified supply chain.
Our partners accompany us on this innovative path: the certification body SGS Italia Spa, leader in the field of inspections worldwide, and the control body CCPB Srl, the national reference point in the organic sector.
With them we have studied this project for a “strengthened” supply chain, unique and exclusive to ASIPO SAC, which will make it possible to:
- improve our certification systems;
- check compliance with European and national legislation of the organic products grown and marketed by the Members in the best possible way;
- verify compliance with other certification standards (ISCC PLUS, GLOBALG.A.P., GRASP, etc.).
In this way we will be able to offer the best possible service guarantees to our customers.
Furthermore, we will give our members a better technical and operational support, putting ourselves by their side in the certification and compliance process with current legislation.
“To certify GLOBALGAP-GRASP, CHAIN TRACEABILITY (ISO 22005), INTEGRATED PRODUCTION (Qc brand and UNI 11233) and SUSTAINABILITY (ISCC PLUS) – declares Roberto Domaschi Food Schemes Manager of SGS Italia – a professional organization that manages around 20% of industrial tomatoes in the district of northern Italy is for SGS Italia a source of pride especially for the seriousness and motivation with which the Organization has faced these challenges, where by Organization we mean the ASIPO technicians and the members; a great challenge that can only grow. “
“CCPB is proud to provide its certification services pursuant to Reg EC 834/2007 for the enhancement of one of the products, the industrial tomato, that characterizes our best Mediterranean agriculture and is the basis of most of our best gastronomic productions” is the comment of Fabrizio Piva CEO of CCPB srl.
