Lantmännen pursues oats-based research, development and production
There is a large and increasing global interest in oats and processed oat products. Oats are an important part of Swedish agriculture and Nordic oats have gained a strong position in the world due to their high quality. Oat is a natural crop with good taste and several important health benefits, for example they contribute to more stable blood sugar levels and helps our digestive system.
Oats are a strategic investment area for the Lantmännen group and a business with great development potential. Today, Lantmännen is the market leader in the Nordics when it comes to oats with four oat mills and a large range of oat-based foods and ingredients. Our market-leading brands, such as AXA, offer a wide range of oat-based breakfast products to consumers. We also offer medical foods such as SPC-Flakes, that have beneficial effects on stomach and bowel diseases.
Lantmännen is at the forefront when it comes to research and innovation with the aim of developing ingredients based on oats and oat-based products for the future. Lantmännen pursues research both within the company as well as together with partners such as ScanOats in Swedish Lund and the part-owned Swedish biotech company CropTailor. Together with Swedish farmers − our owners – we develop and improve oat varieties and seeds. With advanced research and mapping of the entire oat genome, we are acquiring more and more knowledge that creates opportunities for the future.
Also, to create circular flows, Lantmännen utilizes waste products from oat processing, such as oat husks, for energy in production as well as heating in nearby areas.
