Origin and transparency are important issues for us at Lantmännen. We use Swedish grain as far as possible in our Swedish range and, increasingly, Swedish beans as well.

Swedish grain from our members, Swedish farmers, is always the first choice as a base in our Swedish range. We strive to locate our production as close to the market as possible, where our consumers are. Below are a number of examples of how we work with transparency and origin.

As far as possible, we use Swedish grain in our Swedish range and, increasingly, Swedish beans as well. Availability and quality affect the ability to use Swedish raw materials. We currently offer pasta made from grain (durum wheat) grown on Gotland and beans grown on Öland. We strive to use Swedish raw materials in our Swedish product range and work with the Swedish label to strengthen the marketing of Swedish added value on important products, for example on a number of products in Kungsörnen's flour range. 

At Lantmännen, we use our green sprout as a guarantee on our food packaging. The green sprout stands for responsibly produced food. Food that we produce in a sustainable way, from farm to fork. Our brand and our products stand for responsibility, quality and trust throughout the value chain. Our entire business is based on creating long-term value for our members, Swedish farmers.

There are several factors that are important for the sustainable development of food production. It is important that the origin of the food is clarified, but it is equally important to have a broader sustainability perspective than just origin - for example, on how the food is made and how the crops are grown.

In some cases, production is located in countries that specialise in a particular type of product. At the same time, Lantmännen is continuously reviewing logistics and the possibilities of minimizing unnecessary transports.
