Statement of Faith of Marianne
A 100% French potato, locally processed and from a short supply chain
The Marianne project is part of a clear approach:
to participate in the relocation of the ENTIRE potato sector in Hauts-de-France.
Our potatoes come from the local basin, within a radius of less than 150 km from our headquarters in Nouvion-en-Ponthieu.
We work hand in hand with research centers, seed producers and plant growers to guarantee a quality supply and a short supply chain, controlled from end to end, and ultimately to bring back to our soil the intellectual property of the varieties used.
Relocate for better production
The Marianne project is based on a benchmark agricultural tool, with a controlled process, and an experienced and multidisciplinary team.
Our objective is to create a complete value chain in France, so that each step — from variety selection to processing — contributes to the region’s wealth.
By revisiting each step of the sector, we are re-embracing the expertise of our predecessors.
By reducing the number of intermediaries, we bring the producer closer to the consumer, following a simple logic:
From farm to fork.
Relocalize processing
Reduce transportation, promote local employment, and recreate value in the region.
Innovate on taste and cultivation
Selection of new varieties, fewer treatments, and more flavor.
Reduce environmental footprint
Water treatment, waste recovery, and green gas production.
Support a sustainable sector
Long-term and equitable collaborations with producers.
100% French.Short supply chain.
Short Supply Chains and Local Expertise
Every step of the Marianne project is conceived with a short supply chain logic:
- Potatoes from the local basin,
- Processing in the most efficient factory for each product.
- Secure distribution to national partner brands.
This model guarantees traceability, quality, and consistency between production, processing, and consumption.
A Collective and Sustainable Project
A Collective and Sustainable Project
Marianne’s ambition is simple:
To create a benchmark French fries brand, 100% sourced from French soil.
Behind Marianne, there is a desire to evolve the sector:
- To create local and sustainable production,
- To support French agricultural and industrial employment,
- To offer authentic, high-quality, and environmentally friendly products.
A Shared Conviction
Marianne is the meeting point between soil, biosphere, ecosystem, and food — the four pillars of our parent company, SOBEAL.
We believe that a French fry can be more than a side dish: a symbol of French expertise, sustainability, and common sense.
