CT Agro

What CT Agro does

CT AGRO is the official distributor and service provider for leading international agricultural machinery brands in Kazakhstan. Operating under the legal entity CT AGRO GmbH and as a member of Royal Reesink B.V. (Apeldoorn, Netherlands), the company runs 15 branches nationwide offering 24/7 service, supported by 15 spare-parts warehouses holding more than 17,000 article numbers, 140 mobile service vehicles, and 2,450 m² of workshop area. Its catalog spans tractors, combines, seeding equipment, sprayers, irrigation systems, vegetable-production equipment, hay and forage machinery, and digital platforms from CLAAS, HORSCH, GRIMME, BAUER, Kverneland, and Lemken.

Beyond distribution, CT AGRO co-owns the CT ASSEMBLY joint venture (СТ ЭСЭМБЛИ) in Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan, established in 2021 to assemble CLAAS combines, tractors, and headers plus HORSCH seeding complexes locally. The plant has annual capacity for 740 units (370 self-propelled + 370 trailed) and had cumulatively produced 714 combines, 363 tractors, roughly 270 seeding complexes and nearly 500 headers by mid-2026, integrating more than 200 components sourced from five Kazakh suppliers. Revenue mechanics rest on one-time equipment sales, recurring OEM spare-parts distribution, and after-sales service contracts, with bundled digital offerings (CLAAS Connect 3.0, SmartRain, HORSCH CONNECT, CEMIS 1200, Remote Service, BAUER VRI) increasingly layered on top of the equipment base.

The company's customer base is horizontal across Kazakh agriculture: large and medium-scale crop enterprises are the primary segment, with vegetable producers (potato, carrot, onion, cabbage, sugar beet), irrigation-dependent farms, and livestock operations as secondary segments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing and demand generation run through the company's website, a YouTube channel, a continuous training and seminar program for operators, and participation in agricultural exhibitions including AGRITECHNICA.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• AGCO Corporation: Global agricultural machinery leader (Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra). Competes indirectly with CT AGRO because the brands CT AGRO distributes (CLAAS, HORSCH) compete head-to-head with AGCO's portfolio across global and CIS markets.
• Lindsay Corporation: Global irrigation equipment manufacturer (Zimmatic brand). Direct competitor to CT AGRO's BAUER irrigation portfolio in the center-pivot and linear irrigation market, with a growing presence in CIS irrigation projects.
• CNH Industrial: Global agricultural and construction machinery leader (Case IH, New Holland). Major indirect competitor through its own dealer network in CIS, overlapping with the customer base CT AGRO serves in Kazakhstan.
• John Deere: Global agricultural machinery leader and the largest premium competitor in CIS. Deere's dealer footprint and brand strength in Kazakhstan compete directly with CT AGRO's portfolio for premium farm customers.
• Kuhn Group: French farm machinery manufacturer specializing in tillage, seeding, spraying, and hay/forage equipment. Overlaps with several categories of CT AGRO's portfolio (HORSCH, Kverneland, Lemken) and competes for OEM positioning in CIS markets.
• Amazone: German agricultural machinery manufacturer in soil tillage, seeding, fertilization, and crop protection. Competes directly with HORSCH, Kverneland, and Lemken — the brands CT AGRO distributes — across European and CIS markets.

Regional players

• AgroCentre: Russian agricultural machinery dealer and distributor serving CIS markets. Closest comparable by business model — multi-brand dealerships, parts distribution, service network — but primarily serves Russia rather than Kazakhstan.
• Ekoniva: Russian/CIS agricultural machinery distributor and large dairy producer with a similar multi-brand dealer and after-sales model. Overlaps with CT AGRO in farm-equipment distribution across CIS, but Russia-centric in geography.
• Rostselmash: Russian manufacturer of combines, tractors, and agricultural equipment with strong CIS distribution. Competes directly in the regional agricultural machinery market, typically at lower price points than CT AGRO's Western premium brands.

Emerging players

• Netafim: Israeli drip and precision irrigation specialist (Orbia). Competes with CT AGRO's BAUER irrigation offerings in the high-efficiency irrigation segment, particularly relevant for water-scarce regions of Kazakhstan.
