Solid collaborations

<strong>Solid collaborations.</strong> 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.

Ongoing activities at the Makueni Agri-hub

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.
