Terre Dauphinoise

What Terre Dauphinoise does

Terre Dauphinoise is a regional agricultural and rural professional newspaper serving the Isère department and the broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France. Published by the Société d'édition de la Terre Dauphinoise and headquartered in Moirans, the company produces a weekly print edition (51 issues per year, delivered every Thursday) alongside a digital edition accessible via its website terredauphinoise.fr. It also operates ancillary service lines including a regulated legal announcements portal (annoncelegale.terredauphinoise.fr) and a classifieds marketplace (Petites Annonces) covering agricultural equipment, livestock, and property across multiple regional diffusion zones. A subsidiary platform, AGRIOCCASIONS, aggregates used farm equipment listings from regional dealers.

The business is built on a multi-stream revenue model. The core is subscription-based, with seven disclosed pricing tiers ranging from a €4.00 one-week trial to a €389.64 two-year bundle that pairs the newspaper with Réussir technical journals. Legal announcements — published under official prefectoral habilitation (arrêté n°38-2024-12-31-00003) — generate regulated transaction-fee revenue, and the classified ads marketplace adds a third transaction-based line. Customer segments are primarily agricultural professionals (farmers, livestock producers, cooperatives, rural businesses) in Isère, with a secondary audience of rural community readers. Distribution combines a Thursday print drop with self-serve digital access, and the company is part of a regional publications network that includes APASEC, Info Agri 69, Jura Agricole, and Ain Agricole for cross-promotion.

Operationally, the company is a privately held, small-cap French media business with 51-100 employees, a long-established ISSN (1279-2853), and a Commission Paritaire number confirming official press status. It does not operate a mobile app, has no disclosed funding history, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML capability of note. The technology footprint is conventional — Wix Studio for the AGRIOCCASIONS platform, Scaleway for hosting — with the website serving as the primary digital surface for content delivery, subscription management, and ancillary services.
