About Agrifos

Agrifos is an agri partnership with roots firmly planted in the fertile soil of Lolland. Today, we manage 3,200 hectares of high-quality, reliable farmland with a diverse crop rotation focusing on sugar beets, grains, rapeseed, and grass seed production. We are constantly evolving, striving every day to become better than we were yesterday, all while maintaining respect for our surroundings.

Currently, six primary farms — Frederiksdal, Stensgaard, Nøjsomhed, Sophiedal, Magelundegaard, and Gammeleje — along with their associated properties, are managed in collaboration. Through the years, the agri partnership has developed into what it is today, but the core values on which the company was founded in 2007 still remain.

Our operation center placed at Stensgaard, serves as the hub for our skilled employees' daily activities. Agrifos currently employs one director, seven full-time staff, two to three apprentices, and seasonal help when needed. Over the years, we have invested in modern equipment, while continuously upgrading employee- and storage facilities to ensure the company and workplace remain both attractive and presentable.

The history

In January 2007, Agrifos I/S was established by the two neighboring farms, Frederiksdal and Stensgaard, which saw synergies in jointly managing their combined 950 hectares.

Already the following year, in 2008, the company expanded to 1,260 hectares when Nøjsomhed joined the partnership. Nøjsomhed is geographically located like the original two farms, right along the coastline of northwest Lolland.

In January 2011, Agrifos expanded further with the addition of Sophiedal, bringing the total land under management to 1,480 hectares. This continued until 2020, when Magelundegaard joined Agrifos. The partnership increased through organic growth, and by 2023, Agrifos was managing 1,750 hectares.

In January 2023, Agrifos merged with I/S Gammeleje, bringing the crop plan for the upcoming season to 3,200 hectares.

The Agrifos concept

In addition to the core values on which Agrifos is built, the partnership is also based on a unique concept. The land is leased from the stakeholders, who then take ownership of Agrifos proportionally based on the area they lease out. This percentage distribution also determines the division of profits. One hectare is one hectare, meaning that differences in land quality are not considered and the idea is that it's not "yours" or "mine," but "ours."

Agrifos rents buildings from the stakeholders and pays according to usage. This creates a fair setup where benefits are maximized. A key requirement for the continued success of this concept in the future, is that stakeholders and employees work well together and share the same approach to operations, economics, core values etc.

Different tasks specific to the individual farms that are not directly related to crop farming, can be managed by Agrifos and accounted for through an internal settlement. This settlement also handles the company's grain and rapeseed sales. As a stakeholder in Agrifos, it remains possible to execute your own unique sales strategy. This is another important aspect of the Agrifos concept, which has proven its value since January 2007.
