The Joint Venture

Jean and Bruno are brothers who grew up on the family farm and have a keen business sense. Having recently focused on row crops, they want to grow their business, while benefiting from their parents’ experience and know-how.

Pangea gives them access to additional farmland and allows them to maximize profitability while minimizing the company's indebtedness.
