Agricultural lime delivery to Estonia
Estonian buyers can collect by road through Latvia or ship via Klaipėda. For large volumes, the choice between road and sea depends on the destination region and order size.

Soils in Estonia
Southern Estonia in particular has acidic, lighter soils, while parts of the north sit on naturally calcareous ground — so a soil analysis before ordering matters more here than almost anywhere in the region.
What this means in practice
Send us your soil test results and we will suggest which of our two materials fits, and in what quantity, before you arrange transport.
How much lime does your field need?
Enter the area and your soil pH to get the rate in tonnes, the number of big bags and truckloads, and an estimate of the fertiliser value you recover.
Rates follow standard liming practice. Fertiliser value is estimated from a typical NPK spend of about €150/ha per year and the improvement in nutrient uptake once acidity is neutralised. The exact rate should come from your own soil analysis.

Frequently asked questions
How many tonnes of lime do I need per hectare?
It depends on soil pH. A typical rate is 2–3 t/ha: about 3 t/ha for strongly acidic soil (pH up to 4.5), 2.5 t/ha for moderately acidic soil (pH 4.6–5.2) and 2 t/ha for slightly acidic soil (pH 5.3–5.8). Heavy clay soils need more; light sandy soils need less.
What is the difference between agricultural lime and crushed limestone?
Agricultural lime is finer and more reactive (72.58 % reactivity) — it raises pH quickly but the effect is shorter. Crushed limestone is coarser and dissolves slowly (21.16 % reactivity), acting as long-term pH maintenance; it is pure calcium carbonate, so over-liming is not possible. Many farms use both: limestone as the base, agricultural lime for fast correction.
What are your delivery terms for export?
We quote EXW Venta (you collect at our production site) or FCA Port of Klaipėda (we deliver to the port; sea freight and onward logistics are arranged by the buyer). Delivery by truck directly to the farm is available on request for nearby markets such as Latvia.
Can I see the laboratory reports?
Yes. Both products were tested by the Agrochemical Research Laboratory of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. All measured values are published on our Quality & lab results page, including heavy-metal content for crushed limestone.
When is the best time to apply lime?
Autumn after harvest, before ploughing, is ideal: the lime has time to react before the next season. Early spring also works if the soil is trafficable and the lime is incorporated before sowing.
How fast does soil pH rise?
Agricultural lime starts working within 2–6 weeks of moisture, with a clear pH change after 6–12 months. Crushed limestone begins acting after about a year, but the effect lasts close to a decade depending on rainfall.
Can lime be applied together with manure or slurry?
It is not recommended. Raising pH at the same time as applying ammonium-based fertilisers increases ammonia loss. Keep at least 2–3 weeks between them, or lime in autumn and spread organic manure in spring.
What packaging is available?
Bulk by tipper truck, or big bags of 200, 500 and 1000 kg. Crushed limestone is supplied in bulk or 1000 kg big bags.
How much does agricultural lime cost?
Agricultural lime is from €30/t EXW Venta, excluding VAT. Final price depends on volume and delivery terms — contact us for a quote to your port or farm.
