DN AGRAR launches 2025–2030 Strategy
|
Aiming to double the EBITDA by 2030 and expand into new business lines
|
DN AGRAR's announced its Development Strategy
- a medium-term plan, built around five strategic pillars:
- Expansion of existing business lines
- Diversification of revenue streams
- Sustainable growth
- Digitalization and cost optimization
- Value creation for shareholders
|
Jan Gijsbertus de Boer
Chairman of the Board,
DN AGRAR Group:
"We are not just expanding farms, we are cultivating a new paradigm in sustainable agriculture.
Our goal is to become a regional leader in premium dairy and food production by developing industrial clusters that combine dairy farming, vegetable production, biogas and composting facilities, vertical wheatgrass farms, and greenhouse horticulture.
|
With five major projects kicking off in 2026 and a biogas facility set to launch in 2027, we are positioned to double EBITDA by 2030.
This strategy will be implemented by a newly structured executive management team. As DN AGRAR enters a new chapter, I am proud to see a leadership team take the helm that not only knows this business inside out but also brings a powerful mix of complementary
With a strong focus on innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable impact, the new leadership is fully empowered to deliver on our ambitious vision. Moreover, the additional initiatives under analysis, including targeted M&As, place us on a path to exceed the projections.
This growth trajectory supports our upcoming transition to the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, designed to enhance liquidity, broaden our investor base, and drive long-term value creation for shareholders."

Key strategic projects 2025 - 2030:
|
✅ CUT 2 Farm - A new 5,000-head cattle facility with a projected daily milk output of 150,000 liters. It will include a vertical farm producing 25% of the feed onsite. Construction is set to begin in 2026, with full operations by 2029.
✅ Composting facilities - Five composting units will be developed alongside existing operations, with expected annual output exceeding 40,000 tons of organic fertilizer by end of 2030.
✅ Biomethane plant - Developed in collaboration with Black Sea Oil & Gas, the project is expected to generate annual revenues of EUR 3.5 - 4 million starting in 2027 and contribute to a 90% reduction in carbon emissions.
✅ Wheatgrass vertical farms - Four vertical systems will generate over 100 tons of wheatgrass per day, potentially offsetting 25% of current feed input, improving cost-efficiency and sustainability.

Projects under advanced analysis, with the investment decision expected in 2027:

📚 Straja 2 Farm - Designed for 5,000 dairy cows and daily production of 150,000 liters of milk. It will incorporate an advanced research & development center and vertical farming technologies, with completion scheduled for 2030.
📚 Greenhouse vegetable cultivation - A strategic initiative to broaden DN AGRAR’s revenue mix beyond dairy, tapping into the growing demand for traceable, high-quality produce.
📚 Portfolio diversification - Through research initiatives in partnership with academic institutions, we're focused on maximizing the commodity value. This includes strategies like selling extracted fat and protein from milk, producing milk powder, or dehydrating milk to reduce transportation costs and boost margins.

Peter de Boer
DN AGRAR Group:
"Taking on the CEO role at this pivotal moment is both an honor and a responsibility I fully embrace. Over the past years, I have had the opportunity to contribute directly to DN AGRAR’s strategic direction, from coordinating the company’s successful listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange to launching transformative initiatives such as our digitalization roadmap and the biogas investment project, which will anchor our sustainability-driven growth.
|
The new phase of development guided by our 2025–2030 Development Strategy is defined not just by the expansion of our core dairy operations, but by the creation of entirely new business lines. These include vertical farming, composting, and greenhouse production, which will strengthen our revenue base and position DN AGRAR as a developer of integrated industrial clusters in agriculture.
Our ambition is clear: to drive innovation, sustainability, and performance, and to establish DN AGRAR as a leading agribusiness company listed on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
I am honored to lead this next stage of growth alongside a highly experienced team that knows the company deeply and is aligned with its future direction and backed by the strategic vision of the founder."
