At the Choose France Summit, the government announced its support for the construction of the first low-carbon fertiliser plant, which will be led by the consortium FertigHy. InVivo, a linchpin of this project, as the only agricultural member of the consortium and the leading fertiliser distributor, will ensure the scaling-up for the decarbonisation of French farming.

Thierry Blandinières, Chief Executive Officer of the InVivo group, said, "In France, we are currently fully dependent on imports for our fertilisers. The InVivo group has spent the last two years making moves to relocate and greenify fertiliser production in France and Europe. FertigHy's aim, and ours as well, is to produce a portion of our fertilisers using renewable energy, with a view to producing greener grains in order to directly address the challenges of food sovereignty. Producing greater quantities, more sustainably and with higher quality, is our interpretation of the new Green Deal".

This project, which has a production capacity of 500,000 tonnes of fertiliser per year, equivalent to around 10% of the amount consumed by the French agricultural sector, will see French agriculture become a key player in the country's decarbonisation. As the leading distributor of fertilisers, the InVivo group has a major role to play in ensuring that all or part of this plant's production is harnessed in support of French agriculture's transition towards decarbonisation. InVivo will be the offtaker for the fertilisers from this plant. It will sell them to farmers through its member cooperatives and require their use in the specifications for its own activities.
