Raiffeisen Agro Romania - for 10 years a reliable partner for Romanian farmers
For 10 years, Raiffeisen Agro Romania has stood out on the agribusiness market by supporting Romanian farmers, offering them quality products and modern facilities. We are marking the start of the first event in a series of anniversary-themed actions, which will be completed in 2025. With warehouses and silos in Timis, Ialomita and Teleorman counties, and with a wide range of seeds and agricultural inputs, the Austrian company maintains its commitment to transparency, efficiency and professionalism, actively contributing to the sustainable development of Romanian agriculture.
Support for farmers and long-term relationships
Raiffeisen Agro Romania is an Austrian company founded by farmers for farmers, which entered the Romanian agribusiness market in 2015 by acquiring the grain warehouse in Orțișoara, Timis County. Since that time, RWA has started distributing inputs, mainly chemical fertilizers, and has gradually developed the grain trade.
"Today, we own the warehouse in Orțișoara that we rented in 2015 when we started our activity. In addition, we have two silos in southern Romania, one in Căzănești, Ialomita county, and the other in Balaci, Teleorman. We store both fertilizers, pesticides and seeds, but predominantly we store farmers' cereals. We want to help Romanian farmers grow with us, offering them as many products and facilities as possible," said Andreea Hanță, CFO Raiffeisen Agro Romania.
Diversified seed portfolio
In the agribusiness market, RWA differentiates itself through its own seed portfolio, which covers almost all agricultural segments, from major crops such as corn, sunflower, wheat, soybeans, peas, to niche crops such as buckwheat, lupin, millet, and flax.
"It is nice to strengthen the relationship with farmers and see them growing alongside us. We want Romanian agriculture to grow as much as possible. We are a stable and fair partner, we treat farmers fair-play. What we expect from farmers, we offer in return," Andreea Hanță further emphasized.
Fast and efficient delivery
RWA ensures fast delivery of pesticides, within 24 hours or even the same day, which is a significant advantage in the Romanian market. "It is important that the moment you find a problem you can solve it immediately," added Andreea Hanță.
Support for organic farming
RWA's strategy also includes addressing the organic segment, which is gaining more and more ground in Romania. In October 2019, the company Biohelp International was established as a subsidiary of RWA Austria, with its main activity being the supply of organic inputs.
"Biohelp has 33 years of experience in Austria and helps us to come to our customers with solutions that meet all their needs. We want quality, not just quantity," said Mădălin Prințipu, national sales manager Biohelp International Romania.
Core values: transparency, efficiency and professionalism
RWA has set out to bring to Romania the three core values on which it has been operating in Austria since its inception: transparency, efficiency and professionalism
RWA Raiffeisen Agro Romania continues to be a reliable partner for Romanian farmers, supporting them with efficient solutions, quality products and investments in sustainable practices. The company's strategy remains centered on growth, innovation and long-term collaboration with local farmers.
