Agroland Agribusiness posts a profit higher with 77% compared to 2020

Agroland Agribusiness (BVB: AAB), a Romanian entrepreneurial company, part of the Agroland group, specialized in the sale of inputs for conventional and organic agriculture, posts operating income of RON 32.3 million for 2021, 75% higher compared to 2020, EBITDA of RON 2.7 million, an appreciation of 83% compared to 2020 and a net profit of RON 2.2 million, 77% increase from 2020 results. 

“The results for 2021, as well as the dynamic evolution, registered compared to 2020, give us a good indication of the potential that Agroland Agribusiness has on the Romanian market. We are glad that last year we managed to increase the portfolio of farmers and the territorial coverage, which translates into an increase in trust in our field consultants and the technologies proposed by our company. Although we expect to face several challenges this year, such as inflation and rising costs in all industries, our development ambitions remain high. As we announced earlier this month, we want to become the main supplier for the Romanian organic market by 2023. We will continue to invest in the company’s development by expanding the team, opening two new regional offices and warehouses in Bucharest and Timișoara, and launching a range of organic products for small farmers and households. We thank the shareholders for their trust, and we want to let them know that although we are satisfied with the results delivered in 2021, we intend to grow even more in 2022, but also in the years to come,” stated Florin Radu, CEO of Agroland Agribusiness. 

The 75% increase in operating income was primarily due to a 67% increase in revenue from the sale of goods that reached RON 37.9 million and was offset by RON 6.4 million in trade reductions awarded to clients for products that were paid on time.  

In terms of the division of revenues by categories, fertilizers contributed the most to total sales, amounting to approximately RON 17 million, an increase of 156% compared to 2020. Sales of pesticides increased by 36% to RON 12.9 million, while seed sales increased by 12% to RON 6.9 million. The other categories, such as fuel, other products, and grain trading, provided a total cumulative income of RON 1 million.
