Agrial’s 2025 financial statements were formally approved by the cooperative’s members at their Annual General Meeting held on 11 June in Fougères (35). Against a mixed backdrop in the agricultural and agri-food sectors, Agrial’s business remains strong, with turnover of €7.3 billion, EBITDA of €269 million and €180 million invested in industrial and production facilities. This performance enables the redistribution of €28.2 million to the 12,000 farmer-members for the year 2025, illustrating the cooperative model’s ability to create and share value across regions.
The year 2025 was also marked by the roll-out of the Horizon 2035 strategic plan, by the continuation of major investments across several sectors, and by a year of transition fully led by Julien Heillaut, Chief Executive Officer since 1 July 2025. Despite markets that have at times taken a sudden turn, persistent climatic uncertainties and an unstable international environment, Agrial has continued its transformation journey with a clear focus: supporting its farmer-members, securing market outlets, strengthening the competitiveness of its tools and preparing for the future. Agrial is setting out its ambitions and putting the necessary resources in place; in line with the cooperative’s core purpose ‘Selling and Producing’ to consistently meet consumers’ aspirations and expectations.
2025: a year that confirms Agrial’s resilience
Upstream, the Agriculture division demonstrated remarkable resilience, despite regional variations in harvests, sharp falls in global prices and unpredictable weather. Against this backdrop, the Cooperative has continued its commitment to working closely with its farmer-members and is strengthening its support for the development of the mixed farming model with the creation of a new Animal Production BU Unit within the division. This new BU offers comprehensive solutions to boost farm operations by bringing together cattle, pigs, poultry, veterinary products and animal feed under a single division.
The Dairy division performed strongly, albeit with a mixed product portfolio. The division was driven by strong growth in ultra-fresh products, high-protein products and textured butter. 2025 also marks the 130th anniversary of the Soignon brand, which is consolidating its position as the leading goat’s cheese brand in France and internationally. To support this growth, a second Goat Farming Plan has been launched. It aims to support the establishment of 400 goat farmers by 2035. (Read the press release)
In the Fresh Produce division, following two particularly favourable years, the division has seen a decline this year, particularly in its fresh produce BU. Nevertheless, it has performed strongly both in France and internationally. 2025 saw Créaline rebrand as Florette, providing the brand with an opportunity to update its visual identity. Bolstered by these changes, Florette has consolidated its position in markets driven by a dynamic economic climate and proudly reports a 10% increase in sales in France. This success extends beyond our borders, with excellent results from Florette Iberica and remarkable brand recognition that ranks it 26th among food brands in Spain.
The Meat division continues to recover despite a high level of health risks, which is leading to additional costs in the factories. Against this backdrop, the meat processing business is capitalizing on the snacking trend with its ‘thinly sliced’ and ‘chiffonnade’ ranges, as well as ‘badinettes’, to meet growing consumer demand for aperitifs. The butchery business is performing well, particularly at Cuisery, with the second Maître Jacques plant. Spring and summer weather favourable to the consumption of barbecue products has reinforced this momentum. In Rungis, the Avigros and Reilhe Martin poultry trading business continues to expand, with double-digit growth, driven by halal specialities and an encouraging end to the year.
Finally, for the Apple & Beverage division, 2025 was a historic year, with an unprecedented apple harvest that was exceptionally early, yielding 126,500 tones of apples. 2025 was also a pivotal year in the United States, with the start of construction work in Sunnyside, Washington. Located close to the orchards, the new Manzana facility will be more efficient and have greater capacity to supply its juices, compotes and cider vinegar to the United States.
