Agroland Agribusiness aims to become the leading supplier for the Romanian organic farming market by 2023

Agroland Agribusiness (BVB: AAB), a Romanian entrepreneurial company, part of the Agroland group, specialized in the sale of inputs for conventional and organic agriculture, targets net sales of RON 47.9 million, EBITDA of RON 4.2 million and a net profit of RON 3.3 million in 2022. The company aims to become the leading supplier for the organic farming market in Romania by 2023.

“In 2022, we aim to consolidate our position on the Romanian agricultural market and become one of the most important suppliers of products for farmers who grow organically. At the company level, we have established a strategy focused on several levels of development, such as team growth, geographical expansion, partnerships with suppliers in Romania and abroad, and launching a range of new products in the category of pesticides, fertilizers, and more. However, we expect to face several challenges this year, especially inflation and rising costs, particularly of energy. The prices of agricultural inputs have increased significantly; in the category of fertilizer products, we see an increase in prices of about 250% to 300%. Consequently, the need for financing for farmers has increased exponentially. Nonetheless, considering the current upward trend in pricing of the food, the farmers can expect to be compensated through the high sell price of agricultural products,” stated Florin Radu, CEO of Agroland Agribusiness.

The figures targeted by the company in 2022 were published in a current report on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, which presents the revenue and expenditure budget of Agroland Agribusiness for the current year. The company will continue to grow its team as it targets to hire ten new employees as part of the strategy of geographical expansion which includes opening two new regional offices and warehouses in Bucharest and Timisoara. The new locations will expand the coverage area in Romania’s South, South-East, and West regions. Agroland Agribusiness currently operates in the South-West part of the country, respectively, in the counties of Dolj, Olt, Mehedinți, Argeș, Teleorman, Vâlcea, and Gorj.

Also, this year, Agroland Agribusiness is considering investments in the retail division by developing a range of organic products for small farmers and households. The line will feature selected products that are sold to large farmers but will be commercialized in specialized packages that are smaller in size and thus suitable for their needs. Subsequently, these products will be introduced in the Agroland network of stores.
