About us
The laboratory
With a team of eleven people and a surface area of 430 m2, the Laboragro laboratory carries out physico-chemical and technological analyses on grain and oil-protein crops.
It thus meets the quality control needs of cooperatives, traders, and industrial users of grain as well as shippers operating on the international market for agricultural products.
Flour analysis is intended for millers and bread, pastry, and biscuit manufacturers. The provision of vocational training on grain grading and quality for storage professionals completes this offer.
With 30,000 analyses carried out on over 18,000 samples a year, Laboragro is a key stakeholder in the grain sector. It is the ‘Analysis’ unit of Union InVivo’s Logistic & Storage Department.
