Limagrain Business Model An organization model based on proximity to markets Limagrain has chosen to organize its activities in Business Units (BUs), considering that it needed to favor proximity with its numerous, highly segmented markets in terms of products and geography. This organization in BUs is a true strength: it enables Limagrain to listen to market needs more easily, to make decisions more quickly, and so to be more efficient and more agile, and to extend its global position.
