2024/25 revenue grows 4.39 per cent to €986.67mn
Anecoop posted revenues of €986.67mn for 2024/25, 4.39 per cent up on the previous year. Group turnover reached €1.166bn, an increase of 3.5 per cent on 2023/24.
Announcing the results at the company’s general assembly on Friday, its president, Alejandro Monzón, and CEO, Joan Mir, also presented the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which details the results for the 2024/25 fiscal year, to the more than 250 members and professionals of the group who attended the event.
The average payment to members per kilo or litre sold during the 2024/25 campaign increased by 4.7 per cent. Emphasising the importance of this result, Mir stated: “We are aware of the sharp increase in production and handling costs this season”, noting that “the profitability of our partners and farmers is our top priority”.
Regarding sales volume, Mir said: “The challenges of a complicated, difficult, and intense season (due to severe weather, hailstorms, and pests, among other factors) have impacted production of some strategic products and, consequently, the sales volume, which remained practically at the same levels as the previous year, at 736,536 tonnes.
He recalled that on the afternoon of the devastating floods which struck Valencia in October 2024, Anecoop lost 30,000 tonnes, mainly of persimmons, but also oranges and mandarins – “a significant loss for a season, but a small one compared to the enormous human tragedy it caused”.
During the presentation of the results, Monzón commented: “We have managed to close a season with significant difficulties, achieving the highest revenue in our history. We are very proud of the results achieved in a year in which we have expanded our efforts to go further, continuously reviewing our strategy to respond effectively to the many challenges facing our sector”.
Breakdown by product
In citrus, Anecoop marketed a similar volume to last season: 263,969 tonnes, with a slight increase in revenue to €284.7mn, 1.7 per cent more than the previous year. The group’s market share continues to grow, especially in second-season mandarins, while it maintains its leadership in Navelina oranges and is making significant progress in the blood orange category. Sales of other fruit rose 7.7 per cent to €372.7mn thanks to improved average selling prices resulting from the lower volumes caused by the Dana. Watermelon and melon volumes were similar to the previous year, while berries saw an increase in both volume and prices.
Good results were also reported in vegetables, which grew 2.18 per cent in volume to 181,746 tonnes, and 3.8 per cent in value €295.8mn.
Thanks to its French subsidiaries, Anecoop’s flower sales grew 52 per cent in volume reaching 9.9mn stems. Sales of organic products, meanwhile, increased by 13.8 per cent in volume to 36,209 tonnes.
In the wine sector, the cooperative’s performance was very similar to the previous year. Present in more than 40 countries, and facing a turbulent geopolitical landscape and declining consumption, Anecoop Bodegas said it has reinforced its internationalisation strategy with the aim of consolidating and strengthening its sales in traditional markets and introducing its products to new destinations.
The power of cooperativism
Looking ahead to future challenges, Monzón said these include “driving innovation, sustainability, being responsible and transparent, attracting and inspiring young talent, taking care of our people, and, of course, remaining profitable, because the profitability of our members is our primary objective”.
Monzón concluded by thanking the Anecoop family for believing in the power of cooperativism and the values its represents, saying: “The best is yet to come, because when Anecoop advances, the entire sector advances”.
