A South Bohemian producer and supplier of field crop seed from Dačice that makes malt for breweries in its own malt houses in Tábor and Mšeno and also purchases, treats and transports agricultural commodities.
DRUŽINA, spol. s r.o. is a company from Dačice in the South Bohemian Region engaged in the production, treatment and sale of field crop seed. On its website it introduces itself with the motto “Sejete kvalitu, sklízíte úspěch.” (“You sow quality, you reap success.”)
Alongside seed, it produces malt for breweries in its malt houses in Tábor and Mšeno, buys and sells agricultural commodities and transports them throughout the Czech Republic.
These facts have been reviewed by Intedat based on publicly available sources and provide a structured overview of key information about the company.
This profile is not the official corporate website of DRUŽINA, spol. s r.o. It is a public editorial profile prepared by Intedat to complement the company’s digital footprint and provide a clear overview of its business activities.
The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.
DRUŽINA, spol. s r.o. is an established South Bohemian company that grew out of the privatised seed processing plants of the former seed company Oseva Tábor. Over more than three decades it has developed from a regional seed processor into a company with a network of five seed processing plants, two malt houses and its own purchasing silo.
The core of the business remains the production, treatment and sale of field crop seed. The range covers winter and spring cereals, pulses, oilseeds, forage crops, maize, grass mixtures and mixtures for subsidy schemes, so a farming business can source seed for most of its crop rotation from a single supplier.
From a business perspective, the integration of the whole chain is notable: the company supplies growers with malting barley seed, signs contracts with them to buy the harvest, transports and treats the barley itself and turns it into malt for domestic and foreign breweries in its own malt houses.
For farmers in South Bohemia and the Vysočina region, regional proximity also matters: the sales representatives are assigned by district and provide agronomic service directly on the farms, from variety selection to harvest.
A structured overview of the product categories and services publicly presented by DRUŽINA, spol. s r.o. on its website.
Seed of winter and spring cereals: winter wheat with varieties grouped by baking quality (E, A, B, C), six-row and two-row winter barley, winter rye in line, population and hybrid varieties, spring wheat, malting and feed spring barley, common oat, naked oat and triticale. For each variety the company lists the representative in the Czech Republic, the seeding rate and the main growing characteristics.
Winter pulses, such as field pea and winter fodder pea, and spring pulses including field pea, spring fodder pea, field bean and soybean. The website adds an overview of the benefits of pulses and agronomic recommendations.
Winter oilseed rape, for which the company supplies all available hybrids from companies such as Limagrain, Bayer, Saaten-Union, Lidea, Pioneer, Syngenta, Selgen or KWS, and spring oilseeds including white mustard.
Forage crops and clovers: red clover, lucerne including the Pálava variety and foreign varieties, and crimson clover, complemented by agronomic recommendations.
Maize seed, for which the company supplies available hybrids from Oseva Bzenec, Limagrain, Bayer, Saaten-Union, Lidea, Pioneer, Syngenta, KWS and others.
Agricultural grass mixtures for mowing and grazing, for wet and waterlogged as well as dry and light sites and for intensive use, and non-agricultural mixtures for ornamental and recreational lawns, sports surfaces, overseeding and land reclamation with erosion protection.
Mixtures for catch crops, cover strips and ecologically significant areas, such as species-rich ground cover, forage cover strips, green and nectar-producing fallow, headland protective strips or an annual mixture for pollinators and the protection of the northern lapwing. The company states that it also blends mixtures exactly to the customer’s needs.
Seed for organic farming and other seed form a separate category. The seed processing plant in Soběslav is dedicated to treating organic seed and small-seeded crop seed.
Treatment of seed from small-seeded to large-seeded species at five seed processing plants (Dačice I, Dačice II, Jindřichův Hradec, Soběslav and Nová Ves u Mladé Vožice), including cleaning and dressing, and treatment of commodities for business partners.
The malt houses in Tábor and Mšeno offer Czech, Bavarian, Vienna, Pale Ale, diastatic, caramel, colour and wheat malt, classic and fermented rye malt, as well as malting by-products and pellets.
The company offers growers contracts for the delivery of malting barley from the harvest with a discount on seed, transport of the barley from the grower, its treatment at the seed processing plants and an advisory service from variety selection to harvest, including sampling and analyses.
The site in Strmilov offers the purchase and sale of agricultural commodities, post-harvest treatment, production and sale of feed and a small shop with feed crops in 10–50 kg packs, including meal and bird seed mixtures. The company also provides commodity transport throughout the Czech Republic.
