Roca Investments exits agriculture firm RDF

Business Forum
Romanian private equity firm Roca Investments has announced the completion of an amicable separation process within its agricultural holding, resulting in a full divestment from cereals producer RDF.

Going forward, Roca Investments will retain fertilizer producer Adidana and agriculture financing company Agro IFN within its portfolio.

The agriculture sector has faced numerous headwinds, including price fluctuations, declining payment capacity among stakeholders, and the indirect effects of geopolitical and fiscal decisions.

"After five years of active presence in agribusiness, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our exposure in a sector that, while strategically important, remains vulnerable to external factors," said Rudi Vizental, CEO and Co-Founder of Roca Investments. "We believe this strategic realignment will allow us to focus on more stable sectors where we can create long-term value more effectively."

Roca Investments' buy-and-build model focuses on acquiring and transforming mid-sized entrepreneurial companies and has enabled it to invest over €100 million directly and indirectly in Romanian businesses over the past five years.
