6. What is a agricultural partnership?

The agricultural partnership (Landbouwvennootschap / Société Agricole) was the go-to legal form for farmers in Belgium. It combined the simplicity of a partnership with the advantage that farmland and quotas were protected in case of divorce or death. Ideal for family businesses in rural areas.

Important: since the WVV/CSA reform of 2019, it is no longer possible to establish a new agricultural partnership. Existing ones may continue to operate, but new farmers now choose a BV. The figures below therefore decline year by year as agricultural partnerships cease or are converted.
