Strategy 2030: to become the No. 1 seeds company in farmer genetics

The RAGT Group is rolling out its 2030 strategy with the stated ambition of becoming the No. 1 seeds company in genetics for farmers and consolidating its position as leader in its home territory.

At RAGT Semences...

At RAGT Semences, we believe that tomorrow's agriculture will require a combination of several levers - genetic, agronomic and digital - to enable farmers to produce better, sustainably and profitably. The RAGT 2030 project involves innovations in organic seed treatment, biocontrol, biostimulation, multiservice plant cover, companion plants, etc. It also includes the development of digital and precision tools (AAD, AI, drones, GPS). This integrated approach also combines agronomic solutions, such as diversification of rotations, zero bare soil, nitrogen recovery and genetic innovation.

With theacquisition of Groupe Deleplanque (April 2025), RAGT has added sugar beet to its multi-species portfolio, making it one of the world's top 3 sugar beet growers. With the expertise of RAGT's research and its genomic and predictive breeding tools, the Aveyron-based seeds company intends to deliver varieties that are increasingly resilient to disease and insects, as well as to climate change.

At RAGT Plateau Central

At RAGT Plateau Central, the 2030 project has three main focuses: diversifying agricultural activities to meet new customer expectations, providing solutions to the challenges of climate change, and digitalising sales and customer relations. In concrete terms, this will involve strengthening relationships within the animal (APO, CELIA, Bigard, Lactalis, Euralis Gastronomie, Tanagra) and plant (regional millers, food processors, Prodial-Promash) sectors and developing the Agri-Ethics and Live-For-Agriculture approaches. The aim is also to establish a firmer foothold in Auvergne, mainly in the Cantal département. In terms of the shop network, to instil a new dynamic and better meet consumer expectations, RAGT has opted for a mix of banners: RAGT Jardin & Maison and Gamm Vert. Eight of the 29 shops in the network will be affected by this change of name:

• Alban,
• Balma
• Castres
• Lacaune
• Laguépie
• Puylaurens
• Réalmont
• Saint-Sulpice

The choice of this alliance will enable us to benefit from increased visibility thanks to the national reputation of France's No. 1 garden centre.

At RAGT Energie

For RAGT Energie, which is based on the development of plant by-products from agriculture, the RAGT 2030 project sets out the company's development plans for the fast-expanding plant biomass market. It will be accompanied by an adaptation of the value chain business model.
