CEO Dick Hordijk leaves Agrifirm

CEO Dick Hordijk will leave Agrifirm at the end of this year. In consultation with the Supervisory Board, it was jointly decided that it is time for another leader to implement the new strategy.

The press release mentions a natural moment to part ways. It is not yet known who will succeed Hordijk. Agrifirm indicates that the search has started. The cooperative expects to be able to report on this within a few weeks. If the search takes longer, Hordijk may stay on longer.

The new CEO will be tasked with shaping the new strategy for the period 2025-2028. In view of the shrinking livestock population in the Netherlands, this is a challenging task. Agrifirm is currently undergoing a reorganization and had to close in 2023 Red numbers to perform. 

Hordijk is thanked by the Supervisory Board for his efforts in the past eight years as CEO. He is praised for the role he has played in realizing a responsible food chain for future generations.
