In the first half of 2014, Dutch feed company ForFarmers realised a strong improvement in its operating result. The total feed volume increased by one percent. This was announced by the company today.
Gross profit was up 6% in the first half of the year, because of synergy in the area of nutritional expertise. “ForFarmers continued its international expansion in the first half of the year”, stated by Yoram Knoop, CEO of ForFarmers.
The operating result increased by 33% to € 27.2 million, compared with € 20.5 million in the first half of 2013.
