Our co-operative business model

A democratic and
solidarity-based
co-operative model

Governance that gives equal importance between territories and productions

Because there can be no co-operative without a unifying, lively and ambitious co-operative project, we have built a collective and meaningful approach together, so that everyone feels committed and involved in our success. As a co-operative, our governance is based on the democratic principle of “one person = one vote”. It is based on a strong link between our farmer members and their representatives, a constant search for balance and consensus, as well as a clear distribution of responsibilities between the elected members and the executive team.

Since its inception, our Co-operative has granted [equal representation between the territories and sectors]. Every farmer member can thus make their voice heard and assume responsibilities in the Co-operative. We have more than 50 exchange bodies, in which 600 farmers, elected by their peers, participate in the life of the company.

The result of a long history, our Co-operative has always given equal representation to the territories and productions in its governance. Alongside 14 regions guaranteeing proximity to our farmer members from a geographical point of view, our organisation into 9 production sectors around 5 divisions of activity enables us to ensure specialised expertise by trade in all their diversity.

Arnaud Degoulet
Chairman of Agrial

Firmly committed to a long-term perspective, we base the durability of our co-operative model on the diversity of our agricultural sectors, the control of the origin of our products, the excellence of our businesses, the fair distribution of value and the capacity to undertake and innovate of the women and men who make up Agrial. We are working together on a daily basis to become an international agricultural and agri-food co-operative, recognised for the excellence of its expertise and its brands.
