Market performance

We are active along the entire food and agriculture value chain, and build a bridge between farmers and consumers – de la terre à la table.

As a supplier, we provide the agricultural sector with a comprehensive range of production goods, consumer goods, technology and services across all production methods – everything required to efficiently produce safe and healthy Swiss food in a way that is in line with the market and makes lean use of resources. As a marketing partner to the farmers we serve, we ensure that high-quality Swiss food reaches the customers. We procure, store, process and distribute agricultural products nationally and internationally. And as a retailer, we supply food and consumer goods to the population, mainly in rural areas. We also operate as an energy partner, specialising in heat and mobility and serving rural regions in particular.
