Who we are
BioCore is an international trading company that has been active since 1991 in the trade of organic grains, oilseeds, pulses, by-products and cacao. Our products are sourced and sold globally to customers in both the feed and food industries.
Long-standing relationships with both suppliers and clients are the foundation of our business. These partnerships, combined with many years of experience in the organic sector and our robust quality systems, enable us to deliver reliable, high-quality organic products to our customers.
