Everywhere in the world, farmers should be able to have access to production resources and obtain fair prices and remuneration for their work. Food security, and therefore the future of agriculture and the agri-food sector are dependent on the lasting prosperity of farmers.

At the Co-operative's Annual General Meeting of Thursday, December 15th, the members of the Board voted in their new Chairman. Pierre Pagesse, Chairman of Limagrain since 1992 handed over the baton to Jean-Yves Foucault, until then 1st Vice-Chairman of the Co-operative since 2009.

From July 1st 2010 to June 30th 2011, Limagrain achieved a significant increase in sales and net income on line with its expectations. The year passed in a favorable environment, with a rise in cultivated acreage, in spite of the persistent volatility in the prices of agricultural raw materials. All the Divisions showed positive financial results.
