About Avril 

Avril is an industrial and financial leader in the French vegetable oil and protein sector. Created at the initiative of the farming community, the Group's growth over the past 40 years is founded on a unique value-creation model: reinvesting all profits back into the sector, in favor of the French Farm.

Fully confident in the potential of oilseeds, Avril, with the support of its business units, is developing innovative, sustainable solutions designed to feed the planet and contribute to its decarbonization. Building on the strength of this commitment, the Group has chosen to assert its power to act, through its purpose, Serving the Earth. The ambition is to become, by 2030, the leader in plant processing serving the transitions in agriculture, food and the environment.

Avril combines two complementary businesses that are key to the strength of its business model. A long-standing commitment as an investor, supporting the structuring of agricultural and food industry sectors, and a manufacturing business rooted in plant processing, from seed to finished product. With a presence in human food, animal nutrition and expertise, renewable energies, and green chemistry, Avril boasts a portfolio of brands and business units that are leaders in their markets, both in France and internationally.

Present in 18 countries with over 8,400 employees spread across 82 industrial sites and sales offices, Avril generated revenues of €7,7 billion in 2024.
