Bardeau invests 2m euros in 13 farms

Timisoara-based Bardeau Holding, an agricultural company operating in Western Romania is investing two million euros to refurbish and modernise 13 livestock farms. “We want to populate the farms with 3,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep and 50,000 swine in the next two years after the modernisation works are over,” says Andreas Bardeau, the company administrator. Four of the 13 farms were taken through the government programme that grants the use of livestock rearing facilities for free, while the rest were bought from private investors. Bardeau Holding has cultivated 27,000 ha of land in Western Romania this year, and owns more than 20,000 ha of these. The company is one of the biggest owners of farming land in Romania. ZF
