Linge Agroconsultancy

What Linge Agroconsultancy does

Linge Agroconsultancy B.V. is an independent Dutch regulatory consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Oosterhout (Gld), Netherlands, with a registered seat in Arnhem. The firm provides EU regulatory affairs services for the registration of plant protection products (Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009), biocidal products (Regulation (EU) No 528/2012), biopesticides, adjuvants, biostimulants, and Poison Centre Notification (PCN) dossiers. Core capabilities include IUCLID 6 dossier preparation, R4BP submission, multi-zone and mutual recognition applications, biological assessment dossiers (BAD), efficacy and ecotoxicology evaluations, human exposure and environmental fate modelling, and statistical analysis using certified tools such as ToxRat.

The firm operates with an interdisciplinary team of eleven specialists holding MSc and PhD qualifications from institutions including Wageningen University, Leiden University, and the University of Zagreb. Several team members serve as scientific assessors seconded to the Dutch competent authority Ctgb, giving the firm a dual consultant-evaluator perspective. Services span the full regulatory lifecycle: strategic consultancy, study design and management, dossier authoring, submission coordination, and post-submission liaison with authorities across all EU member states. Adjacent offerings include task force management for cost-shared consortium submissions and EU-funded research project participation (notably the novIGRain H2020 initiative in 2023 as lead advisor for active substance approval).

Linge generates revenue through professional services on a project-based, quoted-on-inquiry model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers split between private agrochemical companies seeking market authorisation in Europe and public-sector clients, notably the Dutch Ctgb and other regulatory authorities. The firm's GTM motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with visibility built through active participation at events such as ABIM, EuroBlight, Akademie Fresenius conferences, and EPPO workshops, supported by peer-reviewed publications and policy contributions such as the co-authored Ecorys report for the European Commission on the BPR fee model.
