Strategic transaction - ForFarmers Polska
On 12 February 2026, ForFarmers announced that it had entered into an agreement for a strategic transaction in Poland consisting of the merger of ForFarmers' current Polish feed activities under the name Tasomix with the poultry, slaughterhouse and processing activities of KPS Food Group in a new joint venture. This strengthens ForFarmers' position in the Polish market, an important growth region within Europe. It also represents a further step in chain integration.
As announced, this transaction is subject to approval by the Polish competition authority and ForFarmers' shareholders. This transaction will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the AGM on 16 April 2026.
