What NGPA does

NGPA (legal entity GFA, SIREN 479989188) is a French media-data tech group serving the agricultural, viticultural, green spaces, and bakery-pastry sectors. Founded in 2010 as a corporate vehicle consolidating a portfolio that includes La France Agricole (established 1945), the group operates 16 specialized B2B media brands spanning print, digital, video, and events, with editorial heritage of more than 80 years. NGPA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISAGRI, the leading farm management software company in France, which provides distribution synergy and customer-base integration. The group employs 303 people across its Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine headquarters and Beauvais operations center.

The product portfolio spans four layers: (1) subscription media (La France Agricole, Terre-net, Web-agri, Matériel Agricole, Vitisphere, La Vigne, Matériel et Paysage, etc.); (2) a B2B SVOD video platform (Agriflix) with 300+ videos and 40,000+ newsletter subscribers; (3) AI and coaching services, notably LexAgro, a generative AI legal and management assistant for farmers launched November 2025, and Charlie mon coach agri, an AI-driven video coaching platform; and (4) large-scale field events including INNOVAGRI (45,000+ visitors at the 2025 Outarville edition), Dionysud (viticulture trade show in Béziers), and Les Grandes Occasions (used agricultural equipment marketplace), supplemented by advertising regie NGPA Solutions and job platforms Vitijob and Jobagri.

Monetization runs across subscription fees for media and SVOD, advertising and communication solutions through NGPA Solutions, event exhibitor and sponsor fees (transaction-based), AI service subscriptions, and recruitment marketplace revenue. Distribution combines direct B2B sales for advertising and event partnerships with self-serve digital acquisition for SVOD, AI, and job platforms. Recent strategic activity has focused on AI productization, geographic event expansion (notably Hauts-de-France), data/digital revenue restructuring (October 2023 leadership overhaul), and consolidation of vertical digital platforms, with a stated aspiration to become a decision-support platform combining media, events, studies, data, and AI by 2027.
