Compost factory
becomes operational
following an investment of
euro 1.8 million

🐄 DN AGRAR finalized the first automated manure composting unit and organic fertilizer production facility.

🐄 In the past 2 years, the company finalized the feasibility study and the construction of the facility towards developing an integrated organic waste management system. This unit will transform 21,000 tons of manure annually, into over 7,000 tons of organic fertilizer.

🐄 The total investment in the compost factory is approximately 1.8 million euros.

Peter de Boer, Board Member & Strategy and IR Director, DN AGRAR Group:

”DN AGRAR marks another step towards strengthening the circular economic model at Group level by implementing the first automated manure composting unit, at Apold farm.

In parallel with the start of the operations, we have embarked on the process to obtain voluntary carbon certification for the compost produced, and by the end of 2026, we expect to receive the first carbon credits.

The integrated project built around the compost factory will generate significant economic benefits, including additional revenues for sales and from carbon credits earned through methane emission reductions.”

🐄 DN AGRAR's target for the compost factory is to use the organic fertilizers produced for internal needs and to also sell outside the Group. The process of certifying fertilizers as organic typically takes between 3 to 6 months. Once certified, DN AGRAR expects to register an increase in revenues, as the market price for a ton of organic fertilizer, in big bags, is currently between 230 - 300 euros. 

🐄 Meanwhile, as part of DN AGRAR’s sustainability strategy and in recognition of the efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the company started the process of obtaining voluntary carbon certificates.
