Bruno Ben Said Global Category Manager for Raw Materials, Roquette PERSPECTIVES FROM LEADERS IN GRAIN AND PLANT-BASED VALUE CHAINS Early partners to the programme, Julien Roy, Director of Strategic Projects and CSR at Malteurop (world leader in malt), and Bruno Ben Said, Global Category Manager for Raw Materials at Roquette (global leader in plant-based ingredients), shared their priorities for regenerative agriculture, the progress made with TRANSITIONS over the past two years, and their expectations for the future during the TRANSITIONS morning roundtable at the Châlons Agricultural Fair on 5 September 2025, in front of nearly 150 participants, farmers in the programme, and VIVESCIA.

Our objective for 2030 is to source 30% of our barley from regenerative and/or low- carbon agriculture. Are your customers ready to finance this transition ? Bruno Ben Said/Roquette_ Markets are highly structured and active around carbon intensity. With ethanol, European markets are regulated. Now, with precise, audited, verified and reliable data, we can demonstrate that our products have a lower carbon intensity and therefore greater value. There are also additional expectations around biodiversity, soil health, and regenerative agriculture, with specific 18
