    Agroland targets consolidated sales of 402.3 million lei in 2026, with 19 percent net profit growth

    Published on

    Agroland Group, active in retail, agribusiness, food production, and animal nutrition, projects strong growth in key financial metrics for 2026. This is driven by network expansion, boosted production capacity, and deeper vertical integration.

    The company aims for consolidated net sales of 402.3 million lei in 2026, up 12 percent from 2025 estimates, and a net profit of 12.2 million lei, a 19 percent increase.

    “The 2026 budget balances our sustained growth pace with the financial discipline we showed in 2025, when we accelerated across all three verticals and validated our integrated model,” said Horia Cardoș, Founder & CEO of Agroland Group. “We enter 2026 on solid ground: an expanded retail network, a thriving Food division, an operational agribusiness chain, and ongoing investments. This year is about execution—capitalizing on past investments while setting up efficiency and margin gains ahead. We’ll approach it prudently but confidently in our medium- to long-term potential.”

    Retail sales are budgeted at 298.6 million lei, up 25 percent from 2025, fueled by network growth and strong existing stores. Owned stores project 177 million lei (+36 percent), while the franchise network eyes 114.2 million lei (+11 percent). Plans include 15 new stores, plus maturing the 18 opened in 2025. Agroland MEGA stores will expand from 37 to over 45, boosting their share of total sales.

    The Food division expects to sell 85.6 million consumer eggs, up 13 percent, using current capacity at the Mihăilești facility (about 300,000 laying hens). A major expansion—12 new halls and 600,000 more hens—is funded by a 15 million euro Raiffeisen Bank loan guaranteed by the European Investment Bank. This will roll out over 18-24 months, with minimal 2026 impact.

    Agribusiness production targets 32,082 tons of feed, up 11 percent, thanks to expanded capacity at the Ișalnița factory and its full integration. A new production and packaging line at Șimian will launch in early H2 2026, diversifying products and adding value.

    Consolidated EBITDA is set at 38.6 million lei (+16 percent), with operating expenses rising 12 percent—below revenue growth of 13 percent—highlighting vertical integration benefits and scale economies. Margins stay prudent amid ongoing investments, higher financing costs, depreciation, and team expansion.

    Agroland also released final 2025 results, aligning with preliminary reports: operational profit at 23.7 million lei (+38 percent vs. 2024) and net profit at 10.3 million lei (+35 percent).
