Solid collaborations

The story of this journey starts from and with the people. Since 2021, Eni has established a network of collaborations with different countries to develop agri-feedstock projects, which aim to create models of sustainable agriculture by promoting social development.

Agri-hubs

In the agri-hubs, seeds are processed into vegetable oil. This takes place in the oil extraction lines within the plants, combining industrial efficiency with the socio-economic development of rural areas.

The collaboration centre

Agri-hubs are real driving centres of skills for unlocking the full potential of the agricultural system. Collaboration between farmers and research institutes turns effective around these structures.
