About Agrifos

Agrifos is an agri partnership with roots firmly planted in the fertile soil of Lolland. Today, we manage 5,800 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, eight primary farms — Frederiksdal, Stensgaard, Nøjsomhed, Sophiedal, Magelundegaard, Gammeleje, Katrinesminde and Rudbjerggaard & Fredsholm — 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. 

The operation centers are Stensgaard and Rudbjerggaard, which serves as the hubs for our skilled employees' daily activities. Agrifos currently employs one director, 13 full-time staff, two to four 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 to 3,200 hectares.

In 2024 Agrifos Sharefarming is launched and for the 2025 season the first 400 hectares are managed under our sharefarming concept. 

In January 2026, Agrifos merged with both Katrinesminde and Rudbjerggaard & Fredsholm, increasing the cultivated area to 5,300 hectares, in addition to sharefarming operations.

The Agrifos concept

In addition to the core values on which Agrifos is built, the company is founded on a very distinctive concept. The fundamental idea is collaboration – being stronger together than individually, sharing responsibility, moving in the same direction, and pursuing common ambitions.

The concept is based on fairness, transparency, and mutual trust. It is about creating a framework in which cooperation makes practical sense and where both people and farms can develop over time. Therefore, it is crucial that we share the same fundamental approach to operations, finances, and values – even when the path forward requires change.

As a lessor and stakeholder in Agrifos, ownership is held proportionally according to the area leased out. No distinction is made between different soil types or between “yours” and “mine” – we only think “ours.” From an operational perspective, no distinction is made between share-farmed land, which is cultivated with the same high level of professional expertise as all other areas.

Agrifos leases buildings from the stakeholders and pays according to usage. In this way, a fair structure is created in which the benefits are optimized, and everything is administered through an internal settlement account. This settlement account also handles the company’s grain and rapeseed sales. As a stakeholder in Agrifos, it is therefore still possible to execute one’s own distinctive sales strategy. This is another crucial detail of the Agrifos concept, which has proven its value since January 2007.
