Our purpose

Happy cows
Healthy milk
Satisfied customers

The goal of DN AGRAR is to produce, cultivate, and distribute agricultural products to meet consumer demand. These products include crops, animals, dairy products, and other basic agricultural products.

 

The objectives of DN AGRAR are to increase efficiency, create value for shareholders, and ensure sustainable production practices. This involves managing resources such as land, water, manure, and labor, as well as utilizing technology and innovation to improve yields and reduce costs.

 

In addition to meeting the needs of customers and consumers, DN AGRAR also plays an important role in the economy and society as a whole by providing employment opportunities, supporting rural communities, and contributing to food security and the overall well-being of the population. DN AGRAR is one of the main partners of the Maria Beatrice Medical Center, a medical center for children with disabilities.

Our vision

Providing
high quality
dairy products

Supply of high-quality dairy products: DN AGRAR farms aim to produce milk and dairy products of high quality that meet and/or exceed the standards of the Romanian industry in terms of taste, nutrition, quality, and safety standards. All products are made in Romania.

 

Sustainability: All DN AGRAR group farms have a vision of being sustainable, both ecologically and financially. The goal is to minimize the impact on the environment through practices such as waste reduction, water and energy conservation, the use of renewable energy sources, and proper management of manure.

 

Animal welfare: DN farms prioritize the welfare of our animals, ensuring they are well treated, healthy, have access to comfortable living conditions, and are supervised 24/7 by veterinarians.

 

Community involvement: DN AGRAR aims to be an active participant in the community, supporting local businesses, providing sponsorships, and engaging with locals through events, tours, and educational outreach activities.

 

Innovation and growth: DN AGRAR’s vision is to expand operations, invest in new technologies and equipment, and adopt new agricultural practices to remain competitive and continue the group’s business development.

Our growth drivers

Improving sustainability:
Agricultural enterprises need to be sustainable in the long term, which means minimizing negative impact on the environment and ensuring the viability of land and resources used. Practices such as crop rotation, soil conservation, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers contribute to achieving this objective.
Increasing productivity:
DN AGRAR needs to be efficient to remain competitive, so improving productivity is a key objective. This involves investing in new technologies, optimizing supply chain management, digitizing operations, setting targets, and training staff.
Diversifying products and markets:
Agricultural enterprises can be vulnerable to fluctuations in demand and weather patterns, so diversification can help mitigate risks. This includes cultivating different crops, exploring new markets, and/or expanding into value-added products such as specialty crops.
Increasing profitability:
This is the ultimate goal of any sustainable company. Maximizing profits can be achieved through various actions, such as optimizing crop yields, reducing costs, exploring new markets, increasing milk production, and diversifying.
Building strong relationships:
Building strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and local organizations is crucial. This can help DN AGRAR gain access to new markets, find new suppliers, and build a base of loyal customers.
