Amenda masivă primită de firma care aduce jumătate din zahărul din România. Agrana știa că va fi sancționată de Concurență pentru manipularea prețurilor - Economica.net

Agrana, an Austrian group controlling a significant share of Romania's sugar market, has set aside a provision for a €10 million fine due to price manipulation allegations. This has led to a substantial drop in operational profit, which fell to €3.2 million, a 92.1% decrease from the previous year. The company faced a total fine of approximately €8 million for anti-competitive practices. Agrana's revenues in Romania decreased significantly, reporting losses of 11.1 million lei. The company has also temporarily closed its sugar refinery in Buzău, resulting in job cuts. The sugar market is under pressure from low prices and increased imports from Ukraine, contributing to declining sales volumes.
