Founded in 2013, the company has a total landbank of 4,300 ha, out of which the currently irrigated land accounts for 1,100 ha. The main crops are: corn, sunflower, soybean, barley and wheat.
In 2021, the Frizon Group developed the first fully digitalised farm in Romania, with an integrated IoT ecosystem featuring the smart devices included in farming equipment: processing, sensors, communications hardware.
The digital integration benefits from a state-of-the-art machinery park maximising performances and production.
Trimble FarmWorks
we are using a dedicated software solution in order to monitor, collect, share and manage real time information regarding the workflow.
Pessl Instruments Weather Station
a high precision, localized weather forecast and alert system, calibrated on-site, using the latest generation of sensors.
TelekomCCTV
each farm equipment is connected to an integrated monitoring center.
Nik Electronics GEOSCAN
the first East-European crop monitoring program that provides near-real time tracking of plant growth.
The core of Frizon Group operations includes an agro-ecology interest zone with a unique micro-climate and an excellent soil composition that determine high-productivity crops.
Located in southeastern Romania, at the junction of three counties – Vrancea, Galați and Brăila –, FRIZON GROUP's agricultural exploitation area enjoys the influence of several favorable environmental and economic-social factors, which add to the development potential of the group.The agricultural land exploited by the group is in the vicinity of the Siret River, one of the largest rivers in Romania, which makes the entire area irrigable or potentially irrigable, thus increasing the economic attractiveness of the investment.The high degree of flatness of the land and the fact that it is merged into large plots, which in some cases reach 70-100 ha, make these landings easy to cultivate using machines with large working widths.
Other strong points of the area that deserved to be highlighted:
We are in the proximity of several large eastern Romanian cities. We are also positioned halfway between Bucharest and Iași (about 200 km from each), two economic powerhouses with strong agricultural academic centers; We are in the near vicinity of two major Danube ports, namely Galați and Brăila (about 50 km); We have easy access to rail freight transport to the biggest Romanian port at the Black Sea, namely Constanța, on railway route. The group is currently investing in the creation of a large storage and distribution center with direct access to the loading point of Halta Tătăranu. The existence of many agricultural assets developed in the 1960-1990 timeframe: farms, buildings and warehouses of former state-owned agricultural companies, former factories for processing agricultural production, irrigation facilities, fishing facilities etc. There is a huge potential for investments that can rehabilitate or reactivate them with relatively low costs compared to new investments.
Our vision goes toward a fully integrated business model which will encompass the entire value chain, from supplies and equipment, origination and processing to storage and distribution of a wide range of agricultural products.We ensure competitive costs and deployment times due to the streamlined processes and in-depth market and field intelligence. All of our technological innovations and investment strategies focus on full accountability of the cyclicality and traceability of our products.
