Since Romania joined the EU, the country has shown significant economic growth. The economy is driven by both domestic and foreign investments. Major infrastructure and environmental projects are underway, and wages are on the rise, which means Romanians have more disposable income and can therefore buy dairy products. However, from a Western European perspective, wages in Romania are considered low.
This also makes it attractive to do business in Romania and work with the local population. Despite differences in language, culture, and education, there is a strong willingness among the Romanian population to contribute to the boost needed in rural areas to enable higher food production through sustainable scaling and professionalization. All of this presents opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors.

Doing Business Abroad
With over 19 million inhabitants, Romania has many mouths to feed. There is a chronic shortage of (quality) milk. Therefore, Romania imports milk from neighboring countries like Poland and Hungary. The problem of milk shortage will worsen as much farming is still on a small scale. While we need to scale down in our own country, growth is the key in Romania.
This will further increase the demand for milk supply. Frylapte has stepped into this gap in demand for quality milk with two dairy farms that have all the potential and capabilities to grow to double the current capacity. So, from about 350 dairy cows to 500 dairy cows or more.
Romania’s Hunger for Quality Milk
In Romania, there are still many small farms with only one or five cows. These farms will be forced to close if they cannot or do not want to make the step toward professionalization and increased milk production. With financial support from the EU, large international players are focusing on the necessary expansion of the Romanian dairy industry.

Frylapte wil duurzaam werken en groeien en een hoogkwalitatief product leveren. Kringloopboeren is het devies. Vanuit deze gedachte is de formule ‘koe+ligbox+hectare’ ontwikkeld. Deze formule koppelt een gezond rendement aan diergezondheid en duurzame landbouw. De hectare grond is nodig om zoveel mogelijk gebruik te maken van eigen voerbronnen.
De aankoop van krachtvoer zoals soja en andere voermiddelen wordt hiermee een halt toegeroepen en daarmee ook de ontbossing en energieverspilling door wereldwijd transport. Door de eigen mest te gebruiken voor het verbeteren van de opbrengst van het land is er minder kunstmest nodig. Dat is beter voor de bodem en het bespaart fossiele brandstoffen.
Sustainable Growth through a Healthy Business Formula
Since the start of Frylapte, there has been healthy growth and investors have received an annual return of 4% on their investment. Further growth is desired and possible, but it takes time. This is due to the gradual growth in both the physical company and the business process of circular farming. Both require more land. This is a complex process. It is related to how Romania is organized. The country is still dealing with the legacy of communism, which had a centrally planned economy dictated from above and left little to no room for entrepreneurship.
The agricultural sector has been neglected for years and is highly fragmented. A hectare of land may sometimes have 5 owners. The process of purchase and parceling is time-consuming. Land is relatively cheap and is in itself a good investment given the steady increase in land prices.

THE NECESSITY OF PROFESSIONALIZATION AND SCALE EXPANSION
Frylapte aims to work and grow sustainably while delivering a high-quality product. Circular farming is the motto. From this idea, the formula ‘cow+resting box+hectare’ was developed. This formula links healthy returns to animal health and sustainable agriculture.
The hectare of land is needed to make use of as many of its own feed resources as possible. This halts the purchase of concentrated feed such as soy and other feed ingredients, and also stops deforestation and energy waste caused by global transportation. Using our own manure to improve land yield reduces the need for artificial fertilizers. This is better for the soil and saves fossil fuels.
