“For 2025, the projections are to resume double-digit growths, both in terms of volume and financial performance, with a good start to the agricultural year in terms of rainfall (…),” said Ovidiu Bucataru, CFO of the Agricultorul-Panimon group.

In 2024, drought severely affected Romanian agriculture, with more than 2 million hectares of the 5.4 million hectares of cereal crops damaged to varying degrees. As a result, the supply on the market was lower. Now, farmers have regained hope and expect the 2024-2025 crop year to be better, thanks to late fall and winter rains.

The Bacau group is one of the leading grain traders and suppliers of agricultural raw materials in the region. It also provides storage services.
