What ProCam does
ProCam is a privately held, family-owned agronomy company founded in 1979 by Tony White, headquartered in Cambourne, Cambridge, with operations spanning the United Kingdom and Poland under the umbrella of ProCam Europe. The company employs over 200 professional agronomists across approximately 40 UK locations and a further 350+ staff at 26 depot sites in Poland serving more than 20,000 Polish customers. Its core business is independent agronomy advisory — crop protection, seed selection, fertiliser and nutrition planning, soil health, environmental management, and application technique — delivered by BASIS, BETA and FACTS qualified agronomists and supported by a national trials network of approximately 4,000 plots annually.
ProCam monetises across four streams: (1) professional agronomy advisory services, (2) seed supply under the Field Options sub-brand (grass mixtures, maize, fodder beet, cover crops, acquired in 2017), (3) transactional sale of crop protection products and fertilisers through the depot network, and (4) managed crop finance arranged in partnership with De Lage Landen (DLL). The technology layer consists of the proprietary FieldSense precision farming platform (satellite mapping, NDVI biomass data, variable rate drilling and fertiliser spreading, 1km-resolution weather) and SoilSense soil analysis service, complemented by free digital tools (Spray Mix Calculator, Seed Rate Calculator, Weather Watch via the Met Office, Crop Prices, Unit Converter).
Go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven: agronomist-led recommendations drive product and seed sales through local depots that provide prompt delivery timed to spray windows, supplemented by direct customer account opening online and active participation in industry events (LAMMA, Cereals Event, Groundswell, county shows, ProCam's own Trials Demo Days). Customer segments are vertically structured across UK arable farmers, livestock (dairy, beef, sheep) farmers requiring forage agronomy, specialist vegetable and potato growers, and Polish arable farmers across 20,000+ accounts. No public pricing is disclosed and revenue is not reported.
