What We Do

We make your agri-food venture flourish

AgrInvest can play an important supportive and commercial role in a wide range of agri-food subsectors.

  • Cow dairy (genetics, management, processing);
  • Goat dairy (The Netherlands has surpassed France in genetics and goat husbandry technology);
  • Pork (genetics, management, climate control, feeding and housing systems);
  • Poultry (genetics, management, hatching, climate control, feeding and housing systems);
  • Alternative sourcing of carbohydrates (like flour and starch from Cassava);
  • Greenhouse and covered crops production (vegetables, ornamentals and flowers, seed, technology);
  • Potatoes (seed potatoes import and local multiplication, tissue culture, early potatoes export, mechanization, handling, storage, French Fries, crisps);
  • Forage feed and concentrates (seed, feed and milling equipment);
  • Food processing lines.

Intervention

Besides the usual objectives like increase production, reduce post-harvest losses, optimize value chains, boost market access and increase the availability of short-term finance, innovative technologies (related to either product, process or market) add a new dimension to commercial and public cooperation in the agri-food domain. 

Some options at primary production level

  • Integrated Pest Management including the application of natural predators;
  • Biocides instead of conventional crop protection chemicals;
  • Phyto remediation and technology to reclaim saline or otherwise wasted soil;
  • Clean technology to disinfect soil for vegetable production;
  • Optimized drip irrigation to save water;
  • Automated irrigation system to optimize water use;
  • Covered cropping to optimize control over growing conditions;
  • Introduction of salt tolerant crops;
  • Crops and varieties that are less draught sensitive;
  • Drones and remote sensing for disease detection and optimizing irrigation;
  • Vegetable production in natural locally produced substrates instead of directly in the soil;
  • Smartphone apps that use AI to forecast the probability of pest invasions;
  • Small scale torrefaction to add value (energy) to wood from reclaimed land;
  • Contribute to circular agriculture by upgrading waste streams.
