What Lto Bedrijven B.v. does
LTO Bedrijven B.V. is a Dutch private holding company (participatiemaatschappij) headquartered at Agro Business Park 1 in Wageningen, jointly owned by the three regional agricultural associations LTO Noord, ZLTO and LLTB. It develops and manages a portfolio of agricultural brands and participations that deliver business services, independent advice and practical solutions to more than 30,000 Dutch agricultural entrepreneurs, complementing rather than overlapping with the advocacy activities of its three shareholder organizations. Operationally, LTO Bedrijven is a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries and equity participations: AgriPers (publishing of Nieuwe Oogst, Varkens.nl, Onder Glas and Smartfarming.nl), LTO Ledenvoordeel (collective purchasing program with 50+ member benefits), LTO Arbeidskracht (labor and HR services), Spuitlicentie.nl (e-learning for spray licenses, acquired 2017), BioScope / FieldScout (majority stake from 2019/2022; satellite and drone-based crop monitoring with 2,000+ active farmer users), and minority or 50/50 stakes in NLgroen (green-certificate trading serving 2,000+ producers), Full Power Support (energy advisory), Delta Horses (studbook registration) and LTO Verzekeringen. From 2026 onward the portfolio is being actively reshaped: GreenlinQdata was divested to FVO in May 2026, Onder Glas was acquired in July 2026, and Arvalis is set to join in January 2027.
Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription and recurring streams (Nieuwe Oogst print circulation of 35,000 weekly copies and 150,000+ digital followers, FieldScout at €299/year, Spuitlicentie.nl e-learning subscriptions), affiliate and referral commissions (LTO Ledenvoordeel member benefits across energy, mobility, equipment, telecom and insurance), professional-service fees (LTO Arbeidskracht, Full Power Support, NLgroen certificate trading), and advertising across media channels. Distribution relies on the LTO member network (community-led go-to-market), direct service-and-advice teams, Nieuwe Oogst's media platforms (web, print, app, video, social) and a network of 50+ strategic partners. The organization is governed by a Supervisory Board chaired by Siem Korver, with Marin Boon as Algemeen Directeur since May 2025.
