Netherlands · Family-owned
Royal Barenbrug Group is a Dutch seed group specialising in grass and forage, in business since 1904 and family-owned. Alongside agriculture it serves sports turf and landscaping markets. Its products include grass seed mixtures, legumes and green manures, and its Polish business, based in Tarnowo Podgórne, groups the range into meadows and pastures, lawns, and catch crops. Barenbrug also develops named grass technologies such as SOS® Grass, Yellow Jacket Nitrogenerator®, NutriFibre® and Resilient Blue®.
On a livestock farm, grassland is the cheapest source of feed, and the seed mixture sown decides how much of it the land delivers and for how long. A well chosen mixture establishes quickly, persists through grazing or repeated cutting, copes with the soil and climate of the site and produces forage with good feeding value. Barenbrug supplies mixtures for establishing new leys and for renovating or overseeding existing grassland, as well as catch crops and green manures for arable rotations.
Size of the business
Barenbrug reports operations on six continents and 22 research and development locations.
