The DN AGRAR APOLD farm has two milking parlors, each equipped with 60 stations, allowing for the milking of 400 cows per hour. Current production is 75,000 liters of milk. The objective is to reach a milk production of 100,000 liters per day, in 2026/2027. Facilities include three milk tanks with a total capacity of 100,000 liters and “igloo” type calf shelters with a total capacity of 600 places.
The DN AGRAR APOLD farm’s infrastructure includes a feed mill and a grain storage facility, optimizing the animal feed production chain. The farm also has two lagoons for manure storage, totaling a capacity of over 50,000 m³.
In 2022, a project to expand the capacity of the Apold farm by 50% was initiated, and was successfully completed in 2023.
Additionally, for the APOLD Farm, in 2025 were installed solar panels on the roofs of the farm buildings. This project was financed both through subsidies (60% from accessing non-refundable funds through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and through bank financing.
This project was carried out in 2025, and installations are fully functional. Their complete commissioning, which will be finalized following the completion of the infrastructure for the power increase, is estimated to be concluded in 2026. Furthermore, the farms were also equipped with energy storage systems (batteries) to maximize efficiency. The main goal is reducing the carbon footprint and securing a renewable energy source for the company’s internal operations.
Also, in November 2024, the operations were launched at the compost factory within the DN AGRAR APOLD farm, following an investment of 1.8 million euros. DN AGRAR’s first composting facility will produce organic fertilizers for both internal use and external sale.
The organic certification process for the compost has been initiated. DN AGRAR anticipates securing the certification for the produced fertilizer in Q4 2025.
Furthermore, in alignment with DN AGRAR’s sustainability strategy, the procedure for obtaining voluntary carbon certificates has been initiated. This strategic direction is projected to generate new revenue streams for the company, in addition to the environmental benefits.
