In a year undeniably marked by the explosion in industrial costs (energy, packaging, etc.) and the rise in agricultural raw materials (cereals, milk, fertilisers, etc.), Agrial’s sales are expected to reach €7.2 billion in 2022, up 15% due to inflation, while net profit remains stable at €62 million, or 0.9% of sales. Following the Annual General assembly on 26 May, delegates approved the accounts and voted to return almost €29 million to Agrial’s 12,000 farmer members, i.e. almost half of net income.
These results once again demonstrate Agrial’s solidity in the face of successive crises impacting both agricultural and agri-food activities (COVID, war in Ukraine, resource shortages, droughts, etc.). They also confirm the relevance of the ambitious investment plan undertaken, which has once again amounted to almost €180 million in 2022, in line with the momentum set in motion in 2021, and which is detailed in the following pages.
