At Sodiaal, we are more than 10,000 farmers, united, sincere and committed.
And since 1964, we have believed in positive cooperation, in good milk, in good sense… and in good ideas.
Because behind every litre of milk lie our choices, our actions and our commitments.
This is our model. The model of our cooperative.
- YES to our 100% French milk.
- YES to fair remuneration* for us, farmers.
- YES to 100% of the profits paid out, benefiting us and our co-operative.
- YES to a collective where each and every voice counts. Really.
Here, we decide together.
Here, we stand up for milk that supports our farms and our communities.
And that changes everything!
So, join us, say YES!

Why is choosing our brands,

We are the architects of a more united, more transparent, and therefore more virtuous model… a different kind of model.
Because yesterday as today, our cooperative is committed to:
- Championing a better life for us, the farmers,
- Caring for the well-being of our animals*,
- Helping make food accessible to as many people as possible,
- producing French milk that respects our local areas,
- supporting the next generation on our farms.
When you choose our brands, Candia, Entremont and Yoplait,
you are taking a stand alongside us!
Together, we have the power to act.
We, act through our farms and our brands.
You, act by choosing our brands out of conviction.
YES to our 100% French milk
We are more than 10,000 dairy farmers, spread across 71 French “départements”. Our cooperative collects milk from all 8,000 of our farms, farms that cannot be relocated, from the plains to the mountains alike.
Choosing to buy our brands, Candia, Yoplait and Entremont, means supporting our local areas and our 100% French milk!
YES for fair compensation
Since 1964, at Sodiaal, we (the women and men farming for Sodiaal) have taken our future into our own hands to make everyday dairy products that are both good and affordable. We are committed to give value to every drop of milk, and to every product we offer our consumers. By joining forces, we have created the Candia and Yoplait brands, and later welcomed Entremont into the family.
Here, we are proud to decide together on fair pay* for our collective, making sure every person’s work is recognised and rewarded.
YES to 100% of the profits
We are proud to be unlike any other company. Here, 100% of the profits go back to us farmers, and our cooperative. Our cooperative and our brands are wholly owned by us.
Here, farmers and employees are the only ‘shareholders’, united by a shared passion for farming and for the quality of the dairy products we make.
* The price of milk is set by the farmers elected to the cooperative’s Board of Directors. It takes into account market conditions and the cooperative’s short- and long-term management to ensure its long-term viability.
