Agrifos I/S is a modern agri partnership consisting of six primary farms focused on Danish crop production. Today, we cultivate approximately 3,200 hectares of highly fertile agricultural land on Lolland, just north of Nakskov. Our crop production is conventional, with a focus on crops well-suited to the region and the coastal climate in which we are located.
However, our work is about more than just farming. We approach each day with a holistic mindset, driven by innovation, and we strive to be a leading part of the future of sustainable agriculture. Our goal is to create high-quality results, produced with respect for each other and the ecosystems of the earth.
We operate a diversified and risk-mitigated crop rotation plan, which is designed on factors such as economics, sowing and harvest times, perennial crops, and the risk of weed proliferation, among other considerations.
Our current crop plan includes:
Winter wheat
Malting barley
Sugar beets
Winter rapeseed
Fallow land and natural areas
White clover
Red fescue
Tall fescue
Spinach
The variety of crops ensures that we maintain healthy soil, while we typically leave all plant residues in the field. This practice sequesters carbon in the soil, an often overlooked but highly important climate perspective, and it also enhances the habitat for earthworms and other microorganisms.
Agrifos cultivates grass seed, sugar, rapeseed oil, and grain, which are exported to many parts of the world?
Agrifos produces around 9,100 tons of sugar per year, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 500,000 adult Danes, or enough to cover the yearly consumption of about 200,000 Americans?
Agrifos annually donates to local charitable causes through sponsorships?
Agrifos is active on Facebook, providing regular updates about daily life at one of Denmark's largest agri partnerships?
Agrifos has more than 12,500 meters of coastal dikes bordering our fields?
At Agrifos, we aim to lead the way in modern Danish agriculture with a high-tech and efficient fleet of machinery. We handle the majority of our fieldwork and service tasks ourselves, outsourcing only a few specialized jobs. All of our machines are equipped with GPS and precision technology, which reduces our resource consumption and maximizes yield potential.
We follow a strict maintenance and reinvestment strategy, ensuring not only stability and continuous efficiency improvements, but also helping to lower our unit costs by reducing input relative to output.
In addition, new machinery often comes with innovative solutions that enhance our sustainable management of agricultural land, allowing us to further optimize our results in harmony with nature.
