France · Group with an agricultural cooperative union as parent
InVivo is a French group whose parent is a union of agricultural cooperatives. It operates across several stages of crop use, from working with farms and cooperatives, through origination and exports, to malt, flour and bakery products. The group also includes retail and wine activities, so its business reaches well beyond any single agricultural commodity market. Its 2024/25 overview reports 163 member cooperatives and operations in 38 countries.
Each supply chain has its own operating unit. Soufflet Malt covers malting, Episens the wheat-processing chain and Soufflet Négoce by InVivo grain trading, while the former Bioline now operates as InVivo Ag°. Soufflet activities form part of InVivo, even where they trade under their own names. Malting barley, milling wheat and farm inputs therefore lead to different businesses, and agricultural activities sit apart from consumer-facing distribution.
