Why is Haspargit so special?
Arvesta’s ambition
One of Arvesta's broader ambitions is to help our partners reduce greenhouse gases. The goal is to move towards a complete set of measures that allows the farmer to produce as sustainable as possible. Today we are already doing that through two concepts, Euroclim and Haspargit. A third concept on carbon farming is in full development and other innovative greenhouse gas saving solutions will follow. With such innovative solutions, Arvesta achieves more than just gains in terms of CO2 emissions, we support the farmer in marketing sustainable and profitable products with added value for the consumer.

Why is Haspargit so special?
Haspargit is an innovative fertilizer for arable farming, used mainly in the cultivation of potatoes, vegetables and beets. The innovation lies in this: Haspargit saves the energy needed for the production of a classic fertilizer. Haspargit is indeed not a classic fertilizer but a circular product produced with residual flows from the food industry.
The nutrients in these residual flows are thus recovered and revalorized in agriculture and horticulture. Nutrients from agriculture and horticulture, for agriculture and horticulture !
Each year Arvesta produces through its strong brand Pomagro a quantity of fertilizer for approximately 60.000 ha of agricultural land.
For 2021 that means a CO2 reduction of 15.800 tonnes, the equivalent of the annual emissions of 10,000 cars.
In addition to the reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases, the use of Haspargit also contributes to the transition towards a circular economy and sustainable agriculture because no non-renewable raw materials have to be demined.
Mathieu and Aline (Veripom) have been working with Haspargit® for years for their potato crop. They explain how Haspargit® increases their yield.
