An opportunity to purchase a large cropping operation of almost 4,000ha has presented itself in north east Romania. One of the features of this farm is that 3,072ha are owned with the remaining 916ha leased in – this is unusual in Romania.

The company was established and began purchasing land in 2007 and the yard was purchased in 2010.

High-quality clay loams are the principal soil types present and in recent years maize, wheat and soya have made up three quarters of the crops grown. The balance of the land grows sugar beet, canola, lucerne, sunflower, sorghum and barley.

Presently employing seven people, the company is being sold with land and buildings as the main asset. Currently, 2,000ha are operated under a Joint Venture Agreement, which ends following the 2024 harvest. Because of this, there is no machinery being sold with the farm.

The large silo storage bins each have the capacity to hold 3,000 tons of grain.

Storage

The main yard extends to just under 14ac and includes an office and accommodation. Four large silo storage bins, each with the capacity of 3,000t, dominate the yard. There is also further storage in the form of sheds. There is plenty scope for further expansion within the yard if required.

The land farmed is located between Dorohoi and Botosani the company headquarters is 40km from the international airport in Suceava.

On the books of Brown & Co, there is a guide price of €10,000/ ha for the owned land.
