AUGA group, AB

AUGA group, AB is one of Europe's largest vertically integrated organic food companies, headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania. The company's mission is centered on delivering organic food with minimal environmental impact, striving for a "no cost to nature" approach. It manages approximately 39,000 hectares of organically certified arable land, employing a sustainable farming model that integrates new technologies.

AUGA group specializes in diverse agricultural activities including crop cultivation, dairy farming, and mushroom growing. Its product portfolio encompasses organic food items for end consumers, such as dairy products, oat flakes, eggs, and vegetables, as well as organic commodities for other processors. The company also actively develops sustainable agricultural technologies, including biomethane infrastructure and hybrid biomethane-electric tractors, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in farming.

Kęstutis Juščius serves as the Chair of the Management Board, with Elina Chodzkaitė-Barauskienė appointed as interim CEO in October 2023. In late 2024, AUGA group initiated a restructuring process to ensure operational continuity and long-term solvency, temporarily deferring some technology development plans to prioritize cash-generating segments like agriculture, biomethane production, and consumer products. The company maintains an ambitious goal to become a CO2eq neutral player in organic food by 2030.
