Difagri

What Difagri does

Difagri is a French designer, manufacturer, and distributor of nutritional supplements and complementary feeds for farm livestock, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Saint-Hilaire-de-Loulay, Vendée. The company produces more than 150 products across multiple formats (powder, liquid, granules, bolus, and licks) covering cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and rabbits, and differentiates on a proprietary "absorption sur support" process that incorporates aqueous and oily liquids onto plant or mineral carriers — a technique Difagri describes as rare in the market. Manufacturing runs on three dedicated production lines plus a micro-packaging workshop, with certifications including OQUALIM, RCNA, STNO (GMO-free under 0.9%), and UAB organic-farming certification from Bureau Veritas.

Difagri operates as the core brand within the privately-held Bharal Développement Group, alongside recently acquired NEOFEED (R&D, 2024), ALINOVA (emulsions and monogastric specialties, 2024-2025), and Diétagro (plant extracts, 2026). The group reported consolidated 2025 revenue of €44 million. The business model is B2B/B2B2C: direct sales to livestock breeders through a technical field sales force, sales of semi-finished ingredients to feed manufacturers, and distribution through agricultural cooperatives, distributors, and dairies in 35+ countries. International trade show presence (SPACE, VIV MEA, VIV Asia, EuroTier, OVUM) and a recently established Vietnam subsidiary indicate an export-led growth posture. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers request quotes through direct contact.
