oUR CONNecTIoNS TO OUR VALUE CHAINS AND REGIONS Our businesses, our cooperative DNA, and our values of solidarity also commit us to our cooperative territories and to the areas where our production sites are located. From field to fork: the future is built through value chains Our development model has been built on enhan- cing the value of locally produced crops through the creation of major processing value chains for barley, wheat, and maize, supplying high-volume markets such as malting/brewing, starch produc- tion, and ethanol, as well as more specific value chains meeting diversified specifications in milling and oilseed/protein crops. Customer expecta- tions are becoming increasingly segmented and diverse. The criteria include local sourcing, varietal selection, capacity for consistent supply, plot-level traceability, biodiversity preservation, and contri- butions to the decarbonization of supply chains. A renewed partnership: VIVESCIA – Moulin de Signy- l’Abbaye (Ardennes), a premium, 100 % local wheat– flour–bread value chain The three-year contract, recently renewed in June 2025, seals a virtuous partnership and confirms a shared commitment to a local, sustainable, and high-quality wheat–flour–bread value chain — illustrating a common strategy to support the local economy. Located in the same territory, VIVESCIA and the Moulin de Signy-l’Abbaye have been working for several years to enhance the value of pure milling wheat varieties, from strong wheat to organic milling wheat. Through this partnership, more than 130 VIVESCIA Cooperative farmers supply the mill, which supplies 250 artisan bakers every day. A short supply chain that guarantees local, high-quality products for consumers in the region. NF V30-001 46
