What Talon Co - Produits does

Talon Co-Produits is a French trader of raw materials and co-products for animal feed, founded in 2006 and operating from Longvic near Dijon in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. The company purchases agro-industrial co-products — corn gluten from starch factories, brewery draff, beet and potato pulps, molasses, alfalfa, and oilseed meals — and resells them in bulk to livestock farmers and breeders, moving approximately 120,000 tonnes annually across the centre-east quarter of France in 30-tonne bulk loads via QUALIMAT-certified transporters.

Its product portfolio is organized into five categories: dehydrated co-products (corn gluten, wheat gluten, soybean and rapeseed meals, alfalfa pellets, silage mixes), wet co-products (fresh corn gluten, brewery draff, beet pulp), liquid co-products (beet and cane molasses, maize solubles), organic/BIO-certified products, and methanization/fertilization inputs. The company holds BIO, GMP+, Non-OGM (PCR < 0.9%), and RED III certifications, and is referenced in AFTAlp, URFAC, and Label Rouge specifications covering premium cheese and meat supply chains.

Talon operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dijon Céréales agricultural cooperative, acquired in November 2015, and is structured as a French SASU with €32,000 of registered capital. Revenue is generated through buy-sell margins on commodity trading; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on request. The go-to-market is direct field sales led by two named commercial representatives covering Zone Est and Zone Centre, supplemented by a website with an online contact form, technical data sheets, and an "Actualités marchés" link to Agritel for market intelligence. The company's value proposition combines cost reduction on feed rations, in-house nutritional advisory, and certified quality/traceability across a defined regional footprint.

Direct peers

• Evialis: French animal feed company historically serving livestock farmers with compound feeds and nutritional solutions. Comparable to Talon in French livestock feed market positioning and customer focus, though operates at larger scale and with a different product mix (more compound feed, less co-product trading).
• Sanders (Avril Group): Leading French animal feed manufacturer and supplier serving livestock farmers across France. Comparable to Talon in customer base (French livestock producers) and feed-nutrition value proposition, though Sanders operates at substantially larger scale with branded compound feed rather than a co-product trading model.
• Provimi (Cargill): Animal nutrition company specializing in premixes, feed ingredients, and nutritional solutions for livestock producers. Comparable to Talon in feed ingredient trading and nutritional advisory services, though operating globally with much larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Agrial: French agricultural cooperative with livestock feed and animal nutrition operations. Comparable to Talon as a cooperative-affiliated supplier to French livestock farmers, though significantly larger and more diversified across other agricultural activities.
• Euralis: French agricultural cooperative group with animal feed and livestock production activities in southwestern France. Comparable to Talon as a cooperative-affiliated supplier to French livestock farmers, though with a different geographic focus and broader product portfolio.
• Cargill Animal Nutrition (France): Global agricultural conglomerate with significant French animal nutrition operations including feed ingredients trading and livestock nutrition solutions. Comparable to Talon in trading feed ingredients and serving French livestock farmers, though with vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• InVivo Animal Nutrition (Inzo): Animal nutrition arm of French agricultural cooperative InVivo, manufacturing compound feeds and supplying nutritional services to French livestock farmers. Comparable to Talon in targeting French livestock producers with nutrition expertise, but operates as a much larger cooperative-owned feed manufacturer with broader product portfolio.
• Vivescia: Major French grain cooperative group with downstream activities in animal nutrition and feed. Comparable to Talon as a cooperative-affiliated agricultural group operating in the French grain-to-feed value chain, with greater diversification across milling, malting, and feed.

Others

• Tereos: French agro-industrial cooperative producing starch, sugar, and ethanol — a key upstream supplier of co-products (corn gluten feed, wheat gluten, beet pulp) that Talon trades. Comparable as an upstream participant in the same French co-product supply chain that Talon depends on.
• Cristal Union: French sugar beet cooperative producing sugar and beet co-products including beet pulp and molasses — feedstocks Talon trades. Comparable as an upstream co-product supplier in the French agricultural value chain.
