What Nutrilab Agro does

Nutrilab Agro was a Netherlands-based agricultural laboratory testing company headquartered in Oss, North Brabant, founded in 2021 with approximately 16 employees. The company provided professional laboratory analysis of agricultural samples — primarily soil testing, crop analysis, and related research testing — to farmers, agricultural businesses, and other actors in the Dutch agricultural sector. Service delivery was organized around a network of regional field representatives (Rayonmedewerker) who handled specialist advice, sample collection, and sample pickup, with customers submitting samples via order forms and receiving analysis results back from the lab.

The underlying technology was conventional agricultural wet chemistry and sample-analysis laboratory work; no proprietary software, AI/ML pipelines, or digital platform is disclosed in the source data. Revenue was generated on a per-transaction (sample-fee) basis typical of third-party agricultural testing labs; specific pricing was not publicly disclosed and required customers to contact customer service or use order forms.

On July 7, 2024 Nutrilab Agro was acquired by Eurofins Agro, transferring ownership to the larger Eurofins group. The integration was phased: samples continued to be analyzed at the Oss facility until October 3, 2024, then migrated to Eurofins Agro's Wageningen processing site from October 6 onward; Nutrilab's customer service lines remain active through November 1, 2025; and from January 1, 2026 the Nutrilab Agro website redirects automatically to eurofins-agro.nl, completing the brand phase-out. As of the most recent data, Nutrilab Agro no longer operates as an independent entity; its customer base and services continue under the Eurofins Agro brand.
