Agrial’s producer organisations sell the animals

Agrial specialises in processing meat and charcuterie with the Breton brands Maître Jacques and Brient. Agrial’s Meat division also sells poultry at Rungis.

Agrial’s producer organisations’ animals and certain products from Maître Jacques and Brient processing activities are delivered to food industries with co-products being used for animal feed.

Maître Jacques and Brient products are available from the deli counter and regular aisles in supermarkets.

Hams, roasts, kebabs, grills, etc. the Brient and Maîtres Jacques ranges are very diverse and use 100% French beef, pork and poultry.
