DN Agrar Group, one of Romania's leading integrated agrifood companies and Europe's largest dairy milk producer, has announced a €13.5 million investment plan for developing its sixth farm and expanding composting facilities as part of its 2025-2030 growth strategy.
The investment includes approximately €12 million for the new CUT 2 farm, financed through an ING Bank loan at 1.5% plus one-month Euribor, with a 20% equity contribution from the company. An additional €3.5 million will fund two new composting units to strengthen the company's circular agriculture model. The financing is subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for July 10, 2026.
"DN Agrar continues to invest in the future of agriculture and 2026 represents a pivotal investment year for our company," said Peter de Boer, CEO of DN Agrar Group. "The development of the CUT 2 farm and two new composting facilities reflects our confidence in the long-term prospects of the sector and forms part of our 2025-2030 Development Strategy, which aims to double EBITDA by 2030 compared to 2025."
The farm, located in Câlnic, Alba County, will accommodate around 5,000 dairy cows with an estimated capacity of over 50 million litres of milk per year. The facility will feature two modern rotary milking systems and robotic solutions for automated udder cleaning. Construction is expected to begin in Q4 2026, with operations starting in 2028 and full production capacity reached by 2030.
The new composting facilities will double production capacity from 14,000 tonnes to 28,000 tonnes annually, supporting revenue diversification and carbon credit generation. DN Agrar's strategy targets reaching 150-200 million litres of annual milk production by 2030 across six farms, doubling the estimated 2025 production levels.
