Terre Comtoise

What Terre Comtoise does

Terre Comtoise is a French agricultural cooperative (Société Coopérative) founded in 2009 through the merger of three predecessor cooperatives (Codeval, Coopadou, Poligny-Bletterans) and headquartered in Chemaudin et Vaux, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It serves 3,369 associated cooperative members — livestock farmers, cereal growers and winegrowers — across five departments (Doubs, Territoire de Belfort, Haute-Saône, Jura, Saône-et-Loire), supported by 184 cooperative employees and an overall group headcount of 561 across eight wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Déméterre (agricultural machinery across 24 bases), Lisadou (20 Gamm Vert retail stores), Moulin Jacquot and Dubrez (feed manufacturing), Coquy (egg production), Faivre and Thiébaud (crop protection and collection). Group revenue reached €286.9M in 2024 with the cooperative alone generating €97.3M in 2025.

The cooperative operates a vertically integrated agricultural value chain spanning crop collection (84,000 tonnes of cereals annually), animal feed manufacturing (150,000 tonnes/year at the DAN II plant in Dannemarie-sur-Crête), agricultural inputs distribution, machinery sales and service, egg production, and retail gardening through Gamm Vert. Core feed operations are concentrated at the DAN II factory, created in 2018 and reinforced with a third press line in December 2025, capable of multi-species, multi-form production with 48-hour order turnaround and full traceability. The product range includes LOCARB, a low-carbon local feed launched March 2025 that uses regional non-GMO soy meal and reduces methane emissions 3–6% CO2.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based sales of agricultural inputs, animal nutrition products, grain collection and commercialization, machinery and equipment, and retail gardening items. The cooperative is a member of Alliance BFC, a 2018 strategic alliance with Dijon Céréales and Bourgogne du Sud covering 12,000 associated farmers and 1,600 employees, with technical R&D mutualized since 2022. Since 2021 machinery is operated under the unified Déméterre brand and the cooperative has expanded its territory through additional partnership with Terre d'Horizon (2024). Price transparency is limited; the cooperative highlights ongoing price volatility in both grain collection and animal nutrition as a key operating reality.
