France · Owned by its farmer members
Axereal is a French cooperative group of farming members, headquartered in Olivet. It is involved in grain production and processing, with activities spanning farm supplies, crop trading, flour milling and malting. Its malting business operates through Boortmalt, its milling business includes Axiane, and in Central Europe it is present through Isterra Seeds and national Axereal companies.
Axereal collects and sells grain as well as oilseed, both in France and internationally, and processes a share of the grain in its own plants into flour and malt. For farmers this creates an outlet for quality grain, with malting barley especially important because Boortmalt needs barley that meets brewing standards. Through the CultivUp Régénératif programme, the group also supports regenerative farming practices among growers who supply its chains.
Size of the business
Axereal's group turnover was EUR 3.318 billion for the 2024/25 financial year.
