Sustainable agriculture & high-quality food for all

Thanks to our diverse businesses, we nurture the grain at every stage from field to fork.

It all starts with the VIVESCIA Cooperative and its agricultural subsidiaries. . Our teams support our cooperative members in the field, working with them day to day to offer agronomic advice and services, and then as they harvest, sort and store their grain and bring it to market.

  • 3.5M
    tonnes of grain collected on average each year
  • 5 %
    of French wheat is harvested by VIVESCIA
  • 25%
    of French malting barley is harvested by VIVESCIA

Our business covers the whole value chain, all the way to the grain processing businesses required to make ingredients and food products. These operations are carried out by the various businesses that make up VIVESCIA Ingredients*. They are all leaders in their respective markets: milling, malting, maize processing, animal feed, and research and biotechnology. 


Because we mainly operate in the B2B market, few consumers are aware of our businesses. But some of our brands are part of the French culinary landscape: this is the case, for example, for Francine flour and baking mixes made by Grands Moulins de Paris.
