Partners for farmers
The partnership with farmers covers two major activities – supplying goods to farmers and marketing the produce they grow, as well as international trade in agricultural raw materials.
Trade in grain and other raw materials, production and marketing of feed
One of our core activities, which generates the highest income, is the trading of grain, oilseeds, raw feed materials and feed additives, and the production and marketing of compound feed. We have been involved in this activity since 1991.
We are the leading exporter of Lithuanian and Latvian grains. We have our network of modern grain elevators, and currently, our under-roof storage capacity for various grains and other commodities in Lithuania and Latvia is 535 thousand tons. The capacities of the storage facilities at ports operated by us reach 301 thousand tons.
The annual production capacity of compound feed is 288 thousand tons, and of premixtures – 6 thousand tons. We have 12 feed retail shops.
