About SIA "Ar B Agro"

We are a family business — one of the largest greenhouse complexes in Latvia. Covering an area of 1.5 hectares, we employ around 20 people all year round, while during the active season the number increases to 40.

History:

In 2001, the first greenhouse was built in the countryside, in the middle of a meadow, and the cultivation of rose seedlings and cut roses began. The company grew to become the largest rose grower in the Baltic States, cultivating roses according to the highest quality standards.

Given how energy-intensive cut rose cultivation is in our region, in 2018 all cut rose areas were gradually phased out, the complex was reconstructed, and cucumber as well as early and late strawberry cultivation was started — sentimentally keeping only a small area for rose seedling production, which has historically been our greatest specialty.

In 2024, reconstruction was carried out again to expand not only cucumber production volumes but also significantly increase the scale of rose seedling cultivation. We have also become the official and exclusive agency in the Baltic States for one of the world’s leading breeders — W. Kordes' Söhne.

Product Range:

Roses:

One of our greatest prides is our collection of rose seedlings, which already have an excellent reputation in the Baltic States. We are also the only representatives and agency in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia for such outstanding global breeders as W. Kordes' Söhne and Rosen Tantau.

We offer large quantities of each rose variety and are among the few growers in the Baltics who legally propagate rose seedlings — with paid licenses for variety acquisition and propagation. This is very important not only for breeders and growers but also for traders, who can sell these seedlings without the risk of penalties. It is also a safe choice for the end customer, who gains confidence in receiving the original rose variety. In 2024, we began a significant expansion of the rose seedling sector and continue to increase our variety range every year, sourcing directly from the breeders themselves.

We have several rose seedling categories, and we have specifically highlighted two of our customers’ favorites — fragrant roses and bee roses. The rose seedlings are available in two sizes: 2L containers and 7L containers. They are available for purchase from April to October, but orders can be placed throughout the year. Special pre-orders for the next season are recommended by January.

Cucumbers:

We produce two types of cucumbers: mini cucumbers in 0.5 kg packages and short field cucumbers sold unpackaged. We are particularly proud that our company has developed a modern production technology that provides optimal growing conditions for plants. We also use biological pest control methods (entomophages), which allow us to minimize the use of chemical plant protection products. It is important to us that our work aligns with our family’s healthy lifestyle and nutrition philosophy, and we take pride in offering such products to society. This commitment is confirmed by our Global G.A.P. certification obtained in 2024, as well as full GRASP compliance.

Mission:

Our mission is to provide our society with the highest quality products, produced with respect not only for people but also for the environment. Therefore, each year we continue to develop and invest in modern technologies that make our production process increasingly resource-efficient — promoting not only energy efficiency and renewable energy use but also ensuring responsible treatment of all available resources, thereby contributing to the overall development of Latvia and the Baltic region.
