Producers in the Guingamp sector, milk suppliers in Entremont, offered a "burial coffee" from the factory, at the headquarters of the Eolys subsidiary, Thursday morning, after learning that Sodiaal was left alone in the ranks for the takeover .

Thursday morning, at the headquarters of Eolys, Entremont subsidiary, in Guingamp. December 24, many of which would have gone well. Milk producers of different union tendencies, most of them members of the Apli, Association of independent milk producers, in favor of European regulation and the creation of a milk office, "to regain our freedom, a fair remunerative price " They bring the "burial coffee" to Eolys employees, move the Christmas tree in the entrance and reject the gifts ...

The com effect

Following the press announcement that Sodiaal was left alone in the ranks for the takeover of Entremont (Wednesday's Telegram), they came to ask their representatives to account. “There is a chasm between manufacturers and basic producers. We are betrayed by our cooperatives, ”says one of the farmers. This article is the drop that made the vase overflow because it is the result of a communication from Entremont, against the advice of the producers. The day before this communication, Monday in Saint-Brieuc, nearly 500 milk producers were in fact gathered to be presented with the two takeover offers, that of Sodiaal, cooperative, and that of Lactalis, private company. The producers, on the other hand, opted for the Lactalis solution, aware that the administrators of Entremont were in favor of a takeover by the Sodiaal group.

The opinion of producers left behind

"Monday, representatives of Eolys agree to respect the advice of producers, Tuesday, they vote unanimously against and dismiss Lactalis without explanation." Gilles Bars, vice-president of Eolys, milk producer elected representative, is summoned to explain. "It was not a vote, but a consultation," he rectified. “We have sent it to all the organizations concerned, including the Ministry of Agriculture. She disturbed Sodiaal who demanded a strong sign, otherwise they would give up. So we were left with almost no offer. However, Entremont must be saved. My goal is that the producers' milk is picked up every two days ”. "We want to be paid," retort the producers.

Sodiaal exclusivity until January 13

Conclusion of this dialogue of the deaf: "Cooperatives no longer represent us". And GillesBars admits that, "as minority shareholders (35% against 65%), we have constraints". Those to follow the majority shareholders. He however specifies that “the Lactalis project is not definitively excluded. We gave Sodiaal an exclusivity until January 13, to improve its offer. ” This means that Lactalis can present its own from this date. But an agreement risks being found before.
