Arvesta Annual Report 2024: Strategic investments drive growth in 2024.

In a year marked by economic uncertainty, Arvesta once again demonstrated its resilience.
​The total supplier for agriculture and horticulture achieved a turnover of €1.9 billion in 2024 (+0.6% compared to 2023) and improved its EBITDA by no less than 20%. These results highlight the success of Arvesta’s strategy to invest in innovation and sustainability, with €40–50 million invested annually in future-oriented projects.

Strong performance in a challenging market

“2024 was a year in which we proved our adaptability,” says CEO Niek Depoorter. “From extreme weather conditions to groundbreaking initiatives like Nuverta – we’ve shown that we are ready to face today’s challenges. In 2025, we will continue on this path with a strong focus on sustainable agricultural solutions.”

Sustainable, Profitable Solutions as a Growth Engine

Arvesta achieved significant results in sustainable innovation. The company strengthened its position in high-tech greenhouse horticulture through pioneering projects in the United States and the Middle East. In addition, the launch of Nuverta — which produces plant-based proteins from locally grown yellow peas — marked an important step toward greater autonomy in protein supply. This project, which aims to cover around 3,000 hectares of pea cultivation by 2030, reduces dependence on imported soy and offers new income opportunities for local farmers.

Progress on Climate Action

Arvesta also made strides in climate initiatives. Through carbon farming projects and its Euroclim animal feed, Arvesta helps farmers reduce their ecological footprint. This approach combines environmental benefits with economic viability — a consistent thread in Arvesta’s strategy.

Retail Excellence in the Digital Era

In the retail sector, Aveve consolidated its leadership position. For the 17th consecutive year, the chain was named ‘Best Retail Chain’ in its category, while its webshop — awarded ‘Best Webshop’ — managed to double its activity. With a Net Promoter Score of 73%, Aveve continues to outperform the competition by a wide margin.

2025: Sustainable Growth and Market Leadership

With a strong start to 2025, Arvesta is focused on continued growth, with innovation and cost optimisation at the core. The company continues to invest in high-tech greenhouse horticulture and the expansion of Nuverta, while remaining alert to market developments such as fluctuating fertiliser prices.

“As we approach our 125th anniversary in 2026, we are firmly focused on the future,” concludes CEO Niek Depoorter. “Our innovations are not an endpoint, but building blocks for an agricultural sector that is both ecologically and economically sustainable. That is the legacy we aim to leave for future generations.”
