The BEVIMAC group
Since 30 years, BEVIMAC is exporting cattle and has obtained its role as unchallenged leader for the export of AUBRAC breed. Also, it has become a key player of other breeds, such as CHAROLAIS, SALERS and LIMOUSIN, within few years.
The production of the cooperatives is :
Controlled, because contract-based. More than 2000 breeders come together with their cooperatives to dedicate their production to export markets.
Favouring direct sales and trying to keep the number of intermediaries as low as possible.
Additionnaly, BEVIMAC can afford on a wide commercial opportunity to satisfy every order for clients.
Every year more than 130 000 cattle are exported to European and Third Countries :
- For the main part, this cattle are from The Union of Cooperatives BEVIMAC CENTRE SUD , (which combines three large scale cooperatives located in the centre of the region Massif Central).
- To complete, our other purchases are realised thanks to the contributions from several commercial actors spread over the French territory, including SA UNEC a private commercial company in Saône-et-Loire.
