Primagra, A.s.

What Primagra, A.s. does

Primagra, a.s. is a privately held Czech agricultural services company founded in 1900, headquartered in Milín, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the AGROFERT conglomerate. The company operates across five integrated business lines: trading, storage, cleaning, and drying of agricultural commodities (wheat, barley, rye, oats, rapeseed, sunflower, peas, soy) with 380,000 tons of storage capacity; manufacturing of compound feed mixtures (140,000 tons annually) at facilities in Milín and Klatovy for poultry, cattle, and pigs; distribution of industrial fertilizers, plant protection products, and seeds through a network of 27+ regional centers; production of FAME biodiesel (35,000 tons annual capacity) primarily from Used Cooking Oil at the Milín facility; and supporting laboratory, agro-services, solid fuels, retail, real estate, and accommodation lines.

The underlying asset base is substantial: a 66,000-ton silo complex with 99 cylindrical chambers and a 1,842-meter private railway siding in Milín provide logistics scale; ISO 9001:2016, ISO 50001:2019, GMP+ FSA FC 2020, QM Milch, ISCC EU, and Non-GMO certifications unlock EU-regulated feed and biofuel customers; and an in-house NIR-equipped laboratory supports quality control across feed, commodity, and biofuel streams. Eleven wholly-owned subsidiaries (Agrobech, Agrobor, ALIMEX NEZVĚSTICE, KLADRUBSKÁ, MAVEX AGRO, Statek Lom, ZEAS Puclice, ZEOS Brnířov, Zlatý klas, ZKS AGRO ZAHOŘANY, Neveklov) plus ARBO for agricultural machinery round out primary production activities.

Revenue mechanics are mixed: commodity trading operates on transactional margins; feed, agrochemicals, seeds, and solid fuels are volume-based hardware sales; biofuels are sold primarily to major Czech fuel distributors with some export; laboratory services generate professional-services fees. The company reaches customers through a sales-led motion combining field representatives at regional centers, four company-owned retail stores (DRUŽKA, KLAS, PRON, SELKA), specialized feed sales points (VKS), materials operations points (MOP), and digital channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, primagra.cz). No revenue figures, pricing models, or headcount are publicly disclosed.
