The BIP has four main centres of activity :
- Developing a professional ethic
and managing contractual documents.
In particular, this involves ensuring compliance with the
inter-professional campaign agreement, estimating the harvest
and recording entries, exits and stocks.
- Official representation and negotiations
with government bodies and the EU.
These activities include drawing up statistics, developing
projects, and proposing regulations and action programmes
for the sector.
- Promoting sales and the image of
Agen prune products in France and abroad.
An essential task that includes consumer motivation surveys,
distribution, implementing communication campaigns (marketing,
advertising, press and public relations).
- Applied technical research and
extension work.
The BIP's technical team provides assistance with research
and selection, plant protection, plant physiology, orchard
management and prune technology.
The BIP also runs a laboratory and employs specially qualified
personnel who conduct analyses at all stages in prune production
throughout the sector.
