PRESS RELEASE
Trading Update Q3 2025: Solid volume growth and continued strong profitability
Pieter Wolleswinkel, CEO ForFarmers: "We look back on a very strong quarter in which we continue the good performance of the past two years. Thanks to our customer-oriented approach and the commitment of our employees, we have once again achieved growth in market share. Recent acquisitions have also contributed to this. Despite the effects of the buyout schemes that are now clearly visible, our compound feed volumes in the Netherlands remain at a good level. Furthermore, the transfer of Beukelaar Diervoeders was completed at the beginning of November, further optimizing our position and capacity utilization in the broiler sector.
The strong results continued in both the United Kingdom and Poland, with which our markets outside the Netherlands are increasingly contributing to ForFarmers' profitability. The significant improvement in profitability is partly the result of the continuous focus on cost control. Once again, our employees have made a huge effort to make all this possible."
