Hanse-Agro – Beratung & Entwicklung GmbH was founded in 1993 in Gettorf. The company headquarters are still located there today. Even though the company originated in the north, the consulting area today covers the whole of Germany, the neighboring EU countries and Chile.

In the 1990s, the company expanded its agronomic consulting services in the western and eastern German states, and in 1995 Poland was added as a consulting area. In addition to the expansion of consulting, over the years we have built up our own trial system in cooperation with various universities, scientific institutions and industry. Since 2003 we have been active as consultants in Hungary and are also steadily expanding our consulting activities in Romania. In 2004, the Hanse-Agrarforschung e.V.  association was founded with the aim of promoting application-oriented research and the transfer of knowledge into agricultural practice.

Since January 2008, Hanse-Agro Beratung & Entwicklung GmbH has expanded its consulting portfolio to include business management through cooperation with Dr. Gemmeke Steuerberatungsgesellschaft. Together the Hanse-Agro Unternehmensberatung GmbH   was founded. The main focus of the offer is on business analysis and marketing planning. One year after the founding of this company, the area of crop consulting was also expanded to South America and the partner company PBB Chile was founded in 2012. At the same time, the first consulting companies in the Baltic States were added.

The worldwide activity of Hanse-Agro creates a constant exchange and transfer of knowledge from the individual regions between the consultants. This knowledge is underpinned by the company's own trials with questions from daily consulting practice. The close interaction and exchange with science and industry ensures that new findings and advances in production technology can be quickly transferred to the farms.
