Suppliers in Enzymes & Starter Cultures: Bulking Agent

"From our core business, seeds, we have created integrated value chains in our region of origin for the wheat and corn production of our farmer members. In order to contribute to the continuity of their farms, the development of chains now also involves internationalization and new chains for food.We are located in the heart of France, the home region of our parent company, the Limagrain Cooperative, which brings together close to 1,500 farmers. While the land is fertile, the Limagne Val d’Allier plain is inconveniently located, far from ports and major consumer basins, and is surrounded by two mountain ranges that limit the size of cultivated acreage. Farmers have invested in the construction of integrated cereal chains to create even more value locally for the land and the region, by providing farmer members withproduction contracts. The integrated chain strategy began in 1983 with the construction of a corn mill. Patiently developed over more than 30 years, the construction of integrated chains was especially marked by the purchase of Jacquet in 1995, allowing us to process our wheat to become products for consumers. Jacquet Brossard is developing today in France and wants to create value internationally through pastries."
