Soly Marché: the expertise of our salespeople – a guarantee of satisfaction for our customers.
SOLY Import has a stall in the Lyon-Corbas wholesale market, the number 1 private fruit and vegetable market in France.
Every day, the “Soly Marché” team offers a wide range of fruit and vegetables, some of which are imported, while others come from France, or even the local region.
This distribution channel ensures perfect handling and management of a fresh product that arrives perfectly ripe, thanks to a human infrastructure and perfectly coordinated logistics.
Founded on a strong rapport and our teams’ commitment to providing satisfaction for our customers, selling goods at the market place combines the expertise of our sales teams with the conviviality of this type of sales which allows buyers to compare the best current deals.
This means we can test new products and obtain the real market price by agreement every day.

THE
production
From day one, Soly has sought to sell excellent products from the best production areas, at the best times of year, and at optimal cost, so as to provide satisfaction for both its customers and the end consumer.
Always keen to improve its performance, the company focuses on the quality of the products it imports and the conditions in which they were produced: environmental aspects and impact, social conditions, limited use of phytosanitary treatments, and product traceability.
Soly Import has made a commitment for the future by setting up Cultura Nativa in Costa Rica. Its mission is to develop agroecological cultivation methods to address the challenges posed by the sustainable and circular development of agricultural production.
THE ART OF
ripening
Soly Import has been offering its banana and avocado ripening expertise to its customers since 1977.
It’s thanks to this know-how that we can offer our customers perfectly ripened fruit in accordance with their particular specifications.
As a strategic partner in the production and distribution value chain, we optimise the supply chain between fruit producers around the world and our customers.
We supply the right product at the right price, at the right time, and at a perfect stage of ripeness –– every day of the year.
