Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab ("Danish Agricultural Grocery Company"), officially DLG, is a Danish co-operative company owned by Danish farmers. The main business areas are farm supplies, vitamins and minerals, service and energy. Activities comprise trade in seed grain, grain and other crops, animal nutrition, vitamins and minerals for animal feed and fuel for agriculture. DLG’s principal markets are Denmark, Germany and Sweden, but export across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South America also constitutes a large part of the business. The exports comprise malting barley, feed grain and bread grain, rapeseed and rapeseed oil.

The total annual export of crops reaches about DKK 5 billion. Furthermore, DLG runs the retail chain "Land & Fritid" selling products for house and garden.^[1] The DLG Group has 40 subsidiaries in 18 countries.

In 2014 the Group turnover reached more than DKK 49,1 billion (EUR 6,55 billion or USD 8,21 billion). The Group employs 6,300 people (as of 2018), 2,000 of which are working in Denmark.^[2] DLG’s full name is Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab a.m.b.a. and the co-operative was formed in 1969 by the merger of Jysk Andels Foderstofforretning (JAF, established in 1898), Øernes Andelsselskab for Indkøb af Foderstoffer (ØA, established in 1901) and Dansk Andels-Gødningsforretning (DAG, established in 1901).
