“The main market in 2023 is the UK, with a 50% weight in total exports, followed by Greece, with 12%. The prognosis for this channel for the next five years is for growth from 22% market share this year to 30% in 2028. This will happen as annual production will reach 60,000 tons per annum, meaning an average of 5,000 tons per month,” said Grigore Horoi, Agricola chairman.

This year, the group has earmarked EUR17 million for investments in extremely diverse areas.

The group ended the first six months of 2023 with turnover worth around RON567.6 million (EUR115 million), up 13% from the year-earlier period.
