Rising costs and taxes are affecting the company’s profitability, says Minifarm founder Valentina Calin, who also cites insufficient human resources as a challenge.
Over the past two years, Minifarm has focused on expansion, especially in Bucharest, where it has taken over several pharmacy licenses from smaller chains. However, the slowdown in consumer spending due to lower purchasing power will have a direct impact on the company’s sales, the founder of Minifarm believes.
In 2024, Minifarm’s profit was the same as in the previous year, almost RON2.5 million, according to public data. The average number of employees exceeded 700.
