We Will Say No Product Needed
Where scouting shows pressure below threshold or soil tests show sufficiency, we say so. That costs us a sale and keeps the relationship.
About Us
To supply inputs with recommendations grounded in soil tests, field history and scouting, including the recommendation to apply nothing when nothing is warranted.
Who We Are
About Our Company
Cefetra B.V. supplies agricultural inputs to farmers and growers: seed across the crops grown in our region, bulk and bagged fertilizer with custom blending, crop protection products, micronutrients and biologicals, seed treatment, soil amendments and lime, and the agronomic advice that should accompany all of it. Our agronomists hold the licensing required to advise on and sell crop protection products, and they write recommendations specifying product, rate, timing against crop growth stage, application conditions, resistance management considerations and any restrictions. We also operate soil and tissue sampling services with laboratory analysis and nutrient planning.
Based in Rotterdam, Cefetra B.V. is built around a plain commercial honesty: a dealer paid on volume has an incentive to recommend more product than a grower needs, and growers know it. We work against that by grounding recommendations in soil test results, field history and scouting, and by telling growers when a product is not warranted. We invest in delivery logistics and custom blending capacity because spring application windows are short and an input that arrives late has limited value. We also handle stewardship properly, including container rinsing and recycling programs and routes for obsolete product disposal.

Our Advantages
Why Clients Choose Us
Licensed Agronomic Advice
Our agronomists hold the licensing required to advise on crop protection products and write recommendations specifying rate, timing and conditions.
Stewardship Handled Properly
Container recycling collection, storage advice and obsolete product disposal routes are part of the service rather than the grower problem.
Logistics Built For Spring
Inventory planning, pre-season positioning and delivery scheduling exist because the application window is short and late product has little value.
Blend Sheets With Every Load
Custom blends are documented with the actual analysis supplied against the prescription, so what went on the field is on record.
Recommendations From Test Data
Nutrient and protection advice is built on soil tests, tissue results, field history and scouting rather than on what is sitting in the shed.
Direct Communication

Client Feedback
What Clients Say
Their agronomist told me my phosphorus was sufficient and I did not need the starter I had budgeted for. A dealer paid on volume said no to a sale. That is why I buy everything else there.
T. HauglandRow Crop Grower
Zone blending reduced my total fertilizer bill and evened out the yield map at the same time. The blend sheets mean I know exactly what went on each field.
R. OyelaranFarm Manager
The multi-year resistance program was the first time anyone had given me a plan rather than a product. Three seasons on, control is back and the escapes are gone.
