In Romania and across parts of Central and Eastern Europe, small and medium-sized farms represent a significant share of agricultural production. However, these growers often face limited access to advanced crop inputs – with products typically designed, packaged, and priced for larger-scale operations.
Recognising this gap, in FY25 we opened a new €3.5 million micropack bottling facility in Timișoara to provide these advanced solutions in smaller volumes – without compromising on precision, traceability, or sustainability.
The new facility repackages agchemicals and liquid micronutrients into smaller, accurately dosed units, enabling smaller independent farmers to purchase and use high-quality products in ways that match their specific scale and needs. Advanced automation and robotic labelling ensure consistent quality and safety, while self-cleaning production lines have reduced water usage by 25%, saving over 30,000 litres annually. With scalable capacity, the facility is also able to respond quickly to shifting seasonal and regional demands.
By pairing technical expertise and advisory services with access to advanced input technologies, we are empowering small and medium-sized farmers to make informed decisions, optimise resources, and adopt best practices in land stewardship. The Timișoara facility brings the same quality of crop protection and nutrition solutions enjoyed by large-scale farms to a broader customer base, driving improved outcomes and responsible input use. It is a clear example of how we are evolving to meet diverse customer needs across all scales of production, while embedding operational efficiency and sustainability into everything we deliver.
