The Pau-Euralis Group portrays a new dynamic trend in
agricultural cooperation, which results in an open
outlook to all forms of complementary work and to all
proposals of financial joint ventures, provided they help
us effectively serve the interests of our members.
They revolve around 4 main poles:
I - Cereals distribution
This represents more than half the group's activities.
- Cereals
- PAU EURALIS, 1st corn collector in Europe,
collects more than
900 000 tons of cereal / year from 120 sites
located in the 6 departments of the Atlantic
South-West region.
- This activity involves 25 000 farmers, working
in partnership with us.
- Retail distribution
- 42 warehouses in the South-West of France,
affiliated with the Point Vert &
Magasin Vert store chain, generate
a turnover of more than 170 million francs in
gardening products and products for rural life
and agriculture.
- Vineyards - Winemaking - Wine cellars
- Through EURALIS AGRO VIGNE &
TABOUY, the Group is developing product
distribution for vineyards and winemaking in 21
retail outlets in the region of Bordeaux, as well
as bottling of wine on the production site.
II - Corn seed
This pole is the Group's main axis.
- Pau-Semences & Rustica Prograin
Génétique & its subsidiaries have
made the Pau Euralis Group a European leader in
the fields of sunflower, corn and rapeseed.

III - Agro-industry

Recent but serious involvement marks the group's
desire to engage in major channels of livestock
production:

production of quality label brands,
- with EURAPALM, to organize and develop the
breeding of ducks for "foie-gras",
- in the pork channel, in a partnership with FIPSO
