Business Unit Animal Nutrition

Our Business Unit Animal Nutrition serves all animal groups with high quality feed, both professional farmers and hobbyists. Animal Nutrition is the market leader in Belgium.

This Arvesta business unit has 15 production sites spread across Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Together, they realise annual sales of about 1.8 million tonnes.

Animal Nutrition in 2021

2021 was not an easy year for Animal Nutrition. However, thanks to new sustainable innovations such as Euroclim and Taintstop, more products with extra added value can be put on the market. One example is the partnership with meat producer Marcassou that introduced the label “Le cochon bien-être” for its meat products.

Through the Business Unit Agri & Horti, Arvesta is the specialist in seeds & cereals and, for all crops, also in plant nutrition and plant protection. In Belgium, Agri & Horti is even the market leader. Agri & Horti has various production and storage facilities located in Belgium, the Netherlands and France, plus some 50 grain depots in Wallonia and France. As a John Deere importer and distributor, we are also active in agricultural and horticultural machinery.

Agri & Horti in 2021

Despite the difficult spring in 2021, we made up for it with a very successful potato season. With our Smartfogging concept, we were able to store more than 500 million kilograms of potatoes in our customers’ warehouses in optimal conditions. We also added Benfried, a top Dutch player in the supply for greenhouse horticulture, to our strong brand portfolio.
