International trade

Volume is the key factor in international trade, which involves buying and selling cereals on a globalised and inherently volatile market subject to sharp price fluctuations. The merger of Soufflet Négoce and InVivo Trading has increased the volumes handled, improved the structure of this activity and ensured its viability. In 2022, 25% of French cereal and oilseed exports were handled by Soufflet Négoce by InVivo, attesting to the relevance and performance of its business model.

"2023 is a year of structuring and consolidation for the Soufflet Négoce and InVivo Trading teams. Our aim is to build a common entity, that embodies shared values. "
Nathalie Faudais,
Execution Manager.
"As well as looking for the best price, I maintain regular contact with the cooperatives to keep them informed and offer real-time advice to them on market trends. "

An activity that supports the agricultural and food transition

With one out of every two tonnes of French cereals intended for export, Soufflet Négoce by InVivo plays a role in identifying the best opportunities for adding value to such production, ensuring a fair income for farmers and addressing the challenge of food sovereignty, while contributing to global food security. This activity also promotes the sector's agricultural transition by developing ethical, positive-impact supply chains such as low-carbon agriculture. By marketing low-carbon agricultural raw materials, Soufflet Négoce by InVivo is something of a trailblazer in a booming market, with the creation of a dedicated subsidiary: Grafite.
