G. M. Part of the VIVESCIA 3.0 plan is to focus on our primary processing businesses, with a targeted approach on ingredients, which are the link between agricultural crops and processed products, between farming activities and industrial operations. In the ingredients market, the challenge is to deliver more value-added products and get beyond the notion of commodities. Our portfolio includes three families of ingredients: malt for beer and whisky (Malteurop); food ingredients (Grands Moulins de Paris, KALIZEA, Diamalteria — not forgetting Francine, a staple ingredient in all French consumers’ kitchens); and biotech ingredients for the bioeconomy. Do the Cooperative’s agricultural activities also play a major role in this strategic plan? C. B. Absolutely — it is a key asset for our ingredients subsidiaries. The Cooperative is an extension of the farm. It is the beating heart of the Group – its very center of gravity. And it, too, will continue to change, just as farms themselves are changing. It is essential for VIVESCIA to ramp up support for cooperative farmers as they consider how they position their crops and which markets they want to serve. Here again, we must stay attuned to markets and to customer expectations. 16
