According to a press statement 'the main goal is to profit from each other’s knowledge and facilities to a maximum extent. For both companies, cattle research and the sale of cattle feed are important strategic areas, which should be reinforced further.' It is expected that the cooperation between experts of both companies and the excellent research facilities will contribute to this.
The joint cattle experiments with Lantmännen are part of a total cattle research programme that Cehave Landbouwbelang carries out. It concerns high qualified scientific dairy cattle trials, which can be executed in a very efficient way on the research farm in Sweden. Besides these joint experiments, Cehave Landbouwbelang has an extensive cattle research programme of its own which is executed for the greater part by CCL in the Netherlands.
Lantmännen is one of the largest food, energy and agriculture groups in Scandinavia. Lantmännen is owned by 42,000 Swedish farmers, has 13,000 employees and a turnover of SEK 36 billion (€ 3,4 billion). Lantmännen Lantbruk is one of nine business areas within Lantmännen. Lantmännen Lantbruk produces and sells feed and commodities for crop production and is a main actor in the grain trading business in Sweden.
