ForFarmers N.V.: Trading update Q1 2025 - Positive trend continues


Lochem, 8 May 2025



Trading update Q1 2025

Positive trend continues with volume growth and strong profitability in Q1



Pieter Wolleswinkel, CEO ForFarmers:
"We look back on a strong quarter in which we once again achieved growth in our compound feed volumes. This is in line with our ambition to retain customers for the long term and to continue growing our market share. Operational profitability also increased strongly, continuing the positive trend of the past year.

The integration of Van Triest's activities is progressing according to plan, resulting in a significant increase in our volume of co-products in line with our sustainability ambition. The German joint venture with team agrar started in the first quarter. In the United Kingdom, the sale of the second plant was completed in early April. I am proud of our people, who work day in, day out for a future-proof food system in Europe."

Highlights Q1 2025

  • Total volume increased by 17.5% compared to Q1 2024, mainly driven by the acquisition of Van Triest Veevoeders. On a like-for-like basis, total volume increased by 1.3%.
  • Compound feed volume was up 3.5%, partly driven by the consolidation of the joint venture in Germany as of 1 March. The like-for-like growth in compound feed volume was 1.1%.
