AB Akola Group receives permission to acquire Latvian grain exporter
SIA Elagro Trade is one of Latvia's leading grain, seed, crop protection, and fertilizer businesses, operating since 2010 with more than 15% of the total Latvian grain market. The company's grain intake stations and regional offices are in all regions of Latvia.
"Our optimistic forecast has come true - we were expecting the decision of the Competition Council of the Republic of Latvia at the end of October. There is a strong likelihood that the acquisition will be completed within this calendar year," says Mažvydas Šileika, CFO of AB Akola Group.
Over the last two years, the subsidiaries of Akola Group have been working to strengthen their position in Latvia, where the group has been operating since 2003. Seed production company SIA Dotnuva Seeds is rapidly building a seed factory in Iecava, Latvia, which should be operational by mid-2025.
