The Agroland group, present in the retail, agribusiness, food production and animal nutrition market, ended the best half of the year in its history, with sales of 229 million RON, up 11 percent compared to the same period in 2024. Also, the operating profit registered an increase of 33 percent, up to 19.5 million RON, and the net profit amounted to 12 million RON, up 23 percent compared to H1 2024.
“The results obtained in the first six months reconfirm the robustness and resilience of the Agroland Group business model. The Retail, Food and Agribusiness divisions delivered the best first half in the company’s history, strengthening the basis for the medium-term strategic objectives. We ended this period with a healthy double-digit growth rate in revenue and profit. Looking ahead, “We are focusing on scaling the Mihăilești poultry platform as an important pillar of the Food division, expanding and digitizing the Agroland Mega network, consolidating feed and pet food production, and investing in logistics and renewable energy. We also maintain our commitment to transparency and good governance, and we are preparing through new investments and business development in the coming years for the move to the BVB Main Market,” said Horia Cardoș, founder and CEO of Agroland Group.
The Food division sold 38.7 million consumer eggs in the first half of this year through the Mihăilești poultry platform, representing a 27 percent increase compared to the first six months of 2024. Revenue from the sale of consumer eggs increased by 52 percent compared to H1 2024, reaching 31.6 million RON.
Also, the Retail division reached net sales of 177.1 million RON in H1 2025, an increase of 11 percent compared to the first half of 2024, and the number of customers increased by 12 percent, reaching 2.1 million people.
Revenues from agricultural inputs were, in H1 2025, 24.3 million RON, down 23 percent compared to H1 2024. The decrease was determined by the strategic restriction of intra-group grain trading activity by suspending these sales to third parties and by the 35 percent decrease in input seed sales, especially corn and sunflower, amid repeated losses recorded by farmers due to drought.
In H1 2025, merchandise expenses amounted to 117.5 million RON, 9 percent higher than in H1 2024, in line with the increase in sales. Other important expenses are those for energy and water, which recorded a 49 percent increase, to 3.6 million RON, as a result of the significant increase in production activity in the group’s factories. Also, personnel expenses reached 23.3 million RON, (+ 28 percent compared to H1 2024), an evolution determined both by the increase in the average salary and the increase in the number of employees (551 compared to 432 in H1 2024).
In August of this year, Agroland announced a 20 million euro greenfield investment in the Mihăilești poultry platform, which will transform the production capacity of the Food division. The company will build new poultry farms, which will contribute to increasing the production capacity of consumer eggs of the Mihăilești platform.
By the end of 2027, it is expected to reach a capacity of 900,000 cage-free laying hens and 100,000 BIO and free-range hens and represents a strategic step towards consolidating the position of the Agroland Group to become one of the largest egg producers in Romania, with a diversified product portfolio. This expansion will allow, starting with 2028, the Food division to exceed the turnover of 250 million RON.
