DENOFA'S SOY IS 100 % DEFORESTATION-FREE
Denofa has refined raw materials for use in food and feed products since 1912. Today, our most important raw material is high-quality soybeans, which are guaranteed deforestation-free, non-GMO and certified as sustainable.
Full control of the value chain
The change in the Gene-Technology Law of 1996 which prohibited the sale of genetically modified products in Norway, made it crucial for Denofa to retain complete control throughout the entire value chain. We started early to develop an advanced tracking system, which today ensures up to 4.000 test samples per load are taken from the soybeans imported from Brazil.

TRANSPARENCY CREATES TRUST
Ingredients for food and feed
Denofa produce meal, oils, and lecithin for use in feed, food and other foodstuffs. Most of the soy that Denofa refine in Fredrikstad is used for animal feed. This ensures that farm animals get access to much-needed proteins.
Strict quality control
Why is there less salmonella in Norwegian production animals? Perhaps part of the reason is that Denofa takes frequent tests of the soybeans used in the feed, and acts quickly to weed out contaminated volumes.
Tracing from A to Z
Responsible sourcing of a raw material produced in another country requires full control of the value chain. Denofa and AMAGGI’s traceability system is so detailed that we know exactly which farms in Mato Grosso, Brazil, have produced the volumes of soy that ultimately end up in Fredrikstad.
STRATEGY & VALUES
A sea of opportunity in Fredrikstad
Denofa Port has a 510 m. long quay with a depth of up to 10 m. This means that we can receive large cargo ships at our port. On land, we have good storage capacity and can offer a range of port services using our own staff. Denofa Port is ISPS certified (restricted area).
