QUARTES

What QUARTES does

Agrifirm-Quartes is the Belgian operating subsidiary of Royal Agrifirm Group, a Dutch agricultural cooperative. The company supplies compound animal feeds, raw materials, and technical advisory services to livestock farmers and crop growers in Belgium, with a primary footprint in the Flanders region. Its product portfolio spans ten species segments — laying poultry, broiler poultry, turkeys, dairy cattle, beef cattle, pigs, goats, rabbits, organic, and plant — supported by branded specialty programs such as the TOP-aanpak series for pigs (Biggen, Zeugen, Vleesvarkens, Brij) and Essential Gamma, an amino-acid supplement targeting dairy production and herd health.

The business is built around species-specific feed formulations and an advisory-led GTM in which agricultural advisors, studiedays, technical content, and on-farm visits complement direct ordering through the Mijn Agrifirm online portal, BestelApp mobile application, and telephone channels. Direct bulk delivery to farms via company-owned wagons anchors the distribution model, and research collaboration with facilities such as Proefbedrijf Geel provides documented performance evidence (e.g., three consecutive laying flocks completed to 92 weeks at high productivity).

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware-equivalent sales of compound feed, premixes, and specialty feed products priced via quote-based negotiation against volume, species, and nutritional specification. The pricing model is not publicly disclosed. The company holds no independent patents, trademarks, certifications, or awards documented in the source data, and operates as a private subsidiary without independent funding, headcount, or revenue disclosure; corporate functions such as research, innovation, and group-level support flow in from Royal Agrifirm Group.
