Logistics at the service of the customer
Today, 80% of the cereals marketed by Cerevia are sold “delivered to factories and ports”.
Cerevia provides storage and logistics for its customers, with a permanent concern for quality and responsiveness of service.
Cérévia builds its logistic flow (mainly rail and river freight) by relying on the major shipping silos of the union’s cooperatives.
From the north of Burgundy and all along the Saône-Rhône axis, these facilities contribute to the development of an efficient and reactive logistics flow.
Cerevia’s logistics are based on
Multi-modal logistics
The railway
Since 2010, a rail logistics partnership is engaged with the operator Europorte. 300 to 350,000 tons per campaign are transported by train to Fos-sur-Mer and other French ports.

The river
It is the backbone for Cerevia’s exports to the Mediterranean basin. The wide-gauge corridor from Pagny (Côte-d’Or) to Fos-sur-Mer is about 550 km long, a distance covered within 48 to 72 hours by the bargemen.
The maritime
Fos-sur-Mer, an essential platform for the Mediterranean
Inaugurated in 2010, the multimodal facilities (rail, river, sea) of Fos-sur-Mer open the door to the Mediterranean basin for the cereals of Cerevia’s cooperatives.
