Germany ·
BayWa is a German trading and services group headquartered in Munich, with roots going back to 1923. Alongside agriculture it runs businesses in energy and building materials, and the company describes its fields of activity as agriculture, heating, mobility, technology and building materials. The group is in the middle of a comprehensive restructuring. As part of this it has sold the Cefetra Group, and in 2025 it sold its interest in the Austrian company RWA.
For farmers, BayWa works through local branches, logistics sites and service facilities. Its agricultural business supplies crop production inputs, buys and trades grain and oilseeds, and sells and services farm machinery, including used equipment. BayWa acts as a trading and service partner, so many of the machinery brands it sells belong to other manufacturers. The branch is often the place where input purchasing, harvest marketing and workshop service come together for a farm.
Size of the business
BayWa's group revenue was approximately EUR 2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026. This quarterly figure covers the whole group, including its non-agricultural activities, and reflects a smaller group after restructuring and the sale of Cefetra.
Does BayWa operate only in agriculture?
No. Besides agricultural trading and machinery, BayWa is active in energy and building materials.
Is RWA still part of BayWa?
No. BayWa sold its interest in the Austrian company RWA in 2025, so RWA is no longer a subsidiary.
