Netherlands ·
Royal Cosun is a Dutch cooperative group that processes crops into food, ingredients and products for other industries. Its business groups Aviko, Cosun Beet Company, Duynie and Sensus are subsidiaries of Cosun. Aviko specialises in fresh, frozen and dried potato products, Cosun Beet Company processes sugar beet, Duynie handles co-products from the food, beverage and biofuel industries, and Sensus makes inulin and oligofructose from chicory root. Cosun Biobased Experts and Cosun Protein are newer business units.
For farmers, Cosun matters both as a buyer of crops and as a source of what is left after processing. Beet and potatoes are delivered under supply arrangements that set the quality basis for payment and divide transport responsibilities. Co-products from food and drink processing can become useful animal feed, and livestock farmers weigh their nutritional value, shelf life and seasonal availability against other feed sources. The link between growing, processing and co-product use is central to how the group works.
Size of the business
Royal Cosun reported consolidated revenue of approximately EUR 3.2 billion in its preliminary 2025 results, covering all of its crop processing activities.
