Lur Berri is a cooperative food company in southwest France, created in 1936.

History[]

In 1936 the wheat cooperative was founded. Until 1965, activity focused on crop production in the Basque Country.

In 1971, the agricultural cooperative Lur Berri was born from a merger between grain cooperatives in the Basque Country and Lower Navarre.

From the 1980s, the cooperative grew quickly. It moved into livestock production (cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry) and acquired a number of cereal wholesalers: Bonnut, Garlin, Espoey, Artix, Clermont, and Coarraze-Nay. The group Lur Berri is active in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Landes, Hautes-Pyrénées, and most recently, the Tarn-et-Garonne.

Lur Berri's mission is to "assure our farmer partners the best value of their products".
