Casalasco closes the tomato campaign with 880.000 tonnes and an increase of 10% over 2025

Casalasco Group announced that it had concluded the 2026 tomato harvesting and processing campaign with 880.000 tonnes delivered over 79 days, 10% more than 2025.

The campaign

The campaign involved 800 agricultural companies supplying the Casalasco Tomato Consortium and approximately 2.000 people (including permanent and seasonal staff), working at the Group's five plants located across the provinces of Cremona, Parma and Piacenza.

The early start to harvesting and 79 days characterised by often critical weather conditions, with record temperature peaks and hailstorms in some areas at the same time, required strong coordination between the agricultural and industrial components. In this context, the investments made over the years, technical assistance, precision farming tools, drip irrigation systems developed to promote optimised management of water resources, and the organisation of the plants proved fundamental in achieving this major result.

Alongside the significant volumes processed, the campaign also achieved excellent results in terms of product quality.

“A very positive result, and far from a given considering the context in which it was achieved,” comments Costantino Vaia, CEO of Casalasco. “This is further confirmation of the strength of our integrated supply chain model, which is capable of maintaining high levels of quality and productivity.”

The agro-industrial platform

The result of the 2026 campaign strengthens Casalasco's positioning as an integrated agro-industrial platform, capable of overseeing all the different stages of the supply chain and offering its customers high quality standards, operational reliability, continuity of supply, the development of customised solutions, and a commitment to improving its environmental performance.

Sustainability

In particular, in 2025, Scope 1 and 2 emissions, calculated according to the market-based approach, decreased by 39% compared with 2022, and 100% of purchased electricity came from certified renewable sources. The activities undertaken by the agricultural base of the Casalasco Tomato Consortium in the field of regenerative agriculture and the development of technologies aimed at optimising the use of water resources should also be highlighted. These are solid foundations on which to continue the growth path launched with the entry of the new partner Fsi, supporting Casalasco's development and competitive strengthening in national and international markets.
