- ForFarmers N.V. (FFARM.AS) is a leading European compound feed and nutritional products company that produces and supplies a broad range of animal feed solutions for livestock farmers. The company offers pig feed, ruminant feed (including cattle, sheep, and goat nutrition), poultry feed, and aquaculture feed; specialty products such as premixes, concentrates, and silage additives; and related services like farm consulting, precision feeding technologies, and sustainable farming advisory. These offerings are tailored for conventional and organic farming segments, targeting professional livestock producers with customized nutrition to optimize animal health, productivity, and environmental sustainability.
Founded in 2010 through the merger of several Dutch cooperatives, ForFarmers N.V. is headquartered in Lochem, the Netherlands, and operates primarily in Europe with key production facilities and sales networks in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom, and other countries. The company serves as the parent entity for subsidiaries including ForFarmers Nederland, ForFarmers Deutschland, and international units focused on feed milling and innovation centers.
In recent developments, ForFarmers completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner in the UK business in 2023, achieving full ownership to strengthen its position in the British feed market; launched new sustainable feed lines emphasizing reduced carbon footprints and alternative proteins in 2024; and announced a strategic partnership with a major European agtech firm for digital farm management tools in late 2024. Additionally, the company expanded its capacity through a greenfield feed mill investment in Poland during 2024 and reported robust financial results in 2025 driven by higher volumes and efficiency gains amid volatile grain prices.
