Marketing crop production

Sofiprotéol works closely with companies that collect, store, and sell grains, supporting their efforts to organize the market and become more competitive.

Grain collection, storage, and marketing are undergoing a complete transformation. Restructuring and mergers have been ongoing for several years. Regional unions and cooperatives have formed at the same time that others have amalgamated or reorganized.
 
The goal for market players is to reach a critical size in order to improve their competitiveness.

In this context, Sofiprotéol has increased its medium and long-term commitment to companies in the sector :

• offering loans to several cooperatives to support their reorganization efforts, investments (to upgrade collection and storage networks), and financial consolidation,
• financing the development of these companies through holding companies assigned to specific businesses,
• setting up security mechanisms to facilitate access to financing.
