What JATA EMONA does

Jata Emona proizvodnja, trgovina in storitve d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian agri-food holding headquartered at Agrokombinatska 84, Ljubljana, organized as a d.o.o. limited liability company and tracing its feed-milling origins to 1955 and its poultry/egg operations to 1957. The 2001 merger of Jata Reja and Emona krmila combined upstream feed production with downstream poultry and egg operations, and a subsequent 2006 restructuring aligned the entity to its current private holding form. The group now coordinates six operating subsidiaries (KRAS prosciutto, PIVKA poultry meat, DOBRODEJ mineral feeds, EMONA RCP nutrition development, VET.AM.JATA veterinary services, and DELAMARIS fish products) alongside its own production assets, with stated intent to build a strong Slovenian agri-food holding.

The company's core operating assets include five feed mills (Ljubljana, Škofja Loka, Novo mesto, Črnci, and Ljutomer), six poultry farms (Duplica, Ihan, Zalog, Drnovo, Sušica, and Mala Bukovica), an in-house egg processing plant with pasteurization capability (described as the only Slovenian facility of its kind), a chicken-manure drying and pelletizing line producing the Bogatin organic fertilizer family, and two company-owned retail stores (Duplica and Zadobrova). Technical capabilities span in-house feed formulation, laboratory quality control, light-line (Lohmann Brown) and heavy-line (Ross 308) breeding programs with day-old chick sales, aseptic pasteurized liquid egg production for the food industry, and an EU-funded Tanagro project to develop a multi-component tannin- and wood-ash-based fertilizer in partnership with TANIN SEVNICA and BARIS.

Revenue is generated through transactional sales across six identifiable streams: feedstuffs (Emona krmila brand) sold B2B to Slovenian livestock producers via field sales consultants with on-site feed analysis; table eggs and processed pasteurized egg products sold to retailers and food-industry customers under the Jata brand (including the PGI-protected 'Jajca izpod Kamniških planin'); day-old pullets and broilers sold to poultry farmers under Jata Perutnina; organic fertilizer (Bogatin pellets, Trata, Trta) sold through agricultural retailers and garden centers; and consolidated retail sales of Jata Emona Group products through two company stores. Pricing is per-kilogram unit pricing observed at retail (e.g., whole fresh chicken at €4.39/kg; chicken fillet at €7.49/kg). Market position is described as leading Slovenian supplier of feedstuffs and table eggs; revenue, headcount, and shareholder data for the holding entity are not publicly disclosed in the supplied material.
