Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Westfälisch-Lippischer Landwirtschaftsverband: Regional farmers' association covering Westphalia-Lippe in NRW. Same advocacy-and-services model as BVSH; useful regional comparator on member retention, pricing, and federation structure.

Broad incumbents

• Deutscher Bauernverband (DBV): The national umbrella farmers' association of Germany and BVSH's direct federal-level affiliate. Operates broader scope (all 16 state associations) and provides the national policy coordination, publications (DBV-Geschäftsbericht, DBV-Faktenchecks), and advocacy infrastructure that BVSH plugs into.
• Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG): Germany's broad agricultural society covering the full value chain (farmers, processors, equipment, science). Overlaps with BVSH on member services, training, and standards-setting but is not a state-specific farmers' advocacy body.

Direct peers

• Bayerischer Bauernverband: Direct state-level peer: the farmers' association for Bavaria, Germany's largest agricultural state. Operates a near-identical federated member-services model (employer advice, insurance partnerships, tax consulting, district associations) covering a much larger farming base.
• Landwirtschaftskammer Schleswig-Holstein: The semi-public chamber of agriculture for Schleswig-Holstein. Operates in the same geography and overlaps with BVSH on advisory services, training, and agronomic consulting — making it both a peer and a local competitor for member mindshare and government funding.
• Hessischer Bauernverband: State-level farmers' association for Hesse. Closely mirrors BVSH's mix of advocacy, employer and tax consulting, insurance brokerage, and member services, providing a like-for-like comparator on a different regional farmer base.
• Rheinischer Landwirtschafts-Verband: Regional farmers' association for the Rhineland (NRW). Operates the same model of advocacy, employer advice, and member services as BVSH — comparable organizational structure and value proposition in a different geography.
• Brandenburgischer Bauernverband: State-level farmers' association for Brandenburg. Same membership-based, federated services-and-advocacy model as BVSH; useful peer for benchmarking in the eastern German agricultural context.
• Landvolk Niedersachsen: The farmers' association for Lower Saxony, another structurally comparable state-level peer in northern Germany. Same membership-based advocacy, employer/tax/insurance services, and federated district structure as BVSH.
• Bauernverband Baden-Württemberg: State-level farmers' association for Baden-Württemberg with the same member-driven advocacy, services, and district-federation structure; comparable scale and service portfolio to BVSH but in southwestern Germany.
