USAbout OXYANE PARTICIPATION
Oxyane is an agricultural cooperative group headquartered near Lyon, created in 2020 from the merger of Cooperative Dauphinoise and Terre d'Alliances and presented at launch as the number-one cooperative group in the Rhone-Alpes region, combining roughly 7,000 active farmer members, 1,929 employees and EUR 630 million in revenue. The group spans the agri-food chain: agricultural supply, grain collection (615,560 tonnes in 2023-2024), animal nutrition through feed producer Soreal, egg production (800 million eggs sold and EUR 144 million in revenue in 2023-2024), consumer retail under the Gamm vert banner and logistics; it has since withdrawn from its farm machinery business. Consolidated revenue reached EUR 709 million in 2023-2024, with EBITDA of EUR 15.9 million.
Ownership journey
The group traces its private capital history to predecessor Cooperative Dauphinoise, which opened the capital of its subsidiaries holding company in 2011 to IDIA Capital Investissement, the minority investment arm of Credit Agricole, investing through its Small and Midcap strategy alongside other agriculture-focused minority investors. When Dauphinoise merged with Terre d'Alliances in 2020 to form Oxyane, the IDIA position carried over into the enlarged group. The investment remains active: IDIA sits as a long-hold minority partner beneath the cooperative's farmer-member governance, with no exit to date.
Under PE ownership
IDIA's patient minority capital has accompanied a sustained consolidation and investment cycle: the 2020 merger created the number-one cooperative group in Rhone-Alpes, the animal nutrition arm absorbed feed producer Soreal, and the group deployed EUR 18.6 million of capex in 2021-2022 within a plan of roughly EUR 20 million per year over five years, including an EUR 8 million soybean crushing unit inaugurated in June 2024. Consolidated revenue rose from EUR 625 million in 2020-2021 to EUR 710.5 million in 2021-2022 and peaked at EUR 860 million in 2022-2023, before normalising to EUR 709 million in 2023-2024 as the group withdrew from farm machinery and grain prices eased; EBITDA recovered 211 percent to EUR 15.9 million on cost actions including the closure of 25 of 180 silos. The group also diversified into insect protein by co-founding INVERS AURA alongside insect specialist INVERS and cooperatives Limagrain and Eurea, and committed EUR 12 million to 150 farmers in the first year of its O'trement agroecology programme.
