Agroland Business System gets approval for major egg production facility

Business Forum
Agroland Business System has received approval from Romania's Commission for the Examination of Foreign Direct Investments (CEFDI) for a €20 million greenfield investment in egg production. The new facility will be located in Mihăilești, Giurgiu County.

The project involves building a poultry platform for table egg production under code 2 standards, using a barn, cage-free system that meets European animal welfare standards. The new platform will house approximately 600,000 laying hens and produce around 170 million eggs annually once fully operational.

The investment will be financed through a combination of own sources (25%) and an investment loan (75%) guaranteed by the European Investment Bank (EIB). Implementation is scheduled to begin in Q2 2026, following local construction permits.

Construction of production halls and infrastructure is expected to complete by the end of 2027, with full production capacity reached in 2028. The project supports Agroland's vertical integration strategy and goal of operating 1 million laying hens by 2027.

CEO Horia Dan Cardoș said management estimates the project will generate additional annual revenues of approximately RON 150 million (€30 million) and EBITDA of around RON 20 million (€4 million) once fully operational, contributing to the group's medium and long-term growth.
