About the Company

Cosun

Farmers' cooperative turning crops into products

Cosun is a Dutch agro-industrial cooperative owned by about 8,100 sugar beet, potato, chicory, and other crop growers. It processes crops into food, animal feed, bio-based products, and green energy, using its diversified group of companies. Its approach includes Aviko (large-scale potato processing), Sensus (inulin from chicory), and Duynie (upcycling co-products into animal feed). The company pursues plant-based innovations under its Unlock 30 strategy, investing in high-quality proteins such as fava bean protein and other sustainable ingredients funded by subsidies for new facilities. Cosun differentiates itself through collective farmer ownership, long history, and a diversified, integrated structure that turns raw crops into multiple value streams rather than focusing on a single product. Its goal is to shape the future of food and materials by expanding plant-based solutions and sustainable ingredients for a changing world.
