Company CEO Peter de Boer said, “In the future, manure production may well be more important than milk production.”
Behind the numbers is a strategy that combines dairy with composting, green energy and circular agriculture aimed at turning waste into raw materials.
The DN Agrar Group was founded in 2008 as a family business by Dutchman Jan Gijsbertus de Boer. Since then, the group has grown rapidly and now includes five large farms, over 16,000 head of cattle and an annual production of 70 million liters of milk.
According to company representatives, this has made DN Agrar the largest private cow’s milk producer in Europe. 75% of production goes to French giant Lactalis. The group’s goals are more ambitious, as the Dutch entrepreneurs developing the company have set the goal of producing between 150 and 200 million liters per year by 2030. All within an integrated business model, with four pillars: milk, vegetable farming, composting and green energy.
DN Agrar reported sales of about 101 million lei for the first half of 2025, up 22% from the same period in 2024, and a net profit of 27 million lei, (“Casa Buna” photo G.de Boer DN Agrar) nearly doubling (+80%). For all of 2024, the company achieved a 
consolidated turnover of about 176 million lei and a net profit of 32 million lei. On the stock exchange (AeRO), DN Agrar has a market capitalization of nearly 460 million lei (about €90-100 million), with the company’s shares recently trading around the threshold of 2.9 lei/share. Unfortunately, space in this newsletter is too limited to describe the comprehensive activities. It would be worth a book and would rival Geert Mak’s famous book “Hoe God verdween uit Jorwerd “as a comparison of an agricultural family adapting to new surroundings and circumstances.
