Moreover, AGRANA also takes current events such as the war in Ukraine and the anticipated future development of business into account in its dividend policy.
Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting also elected Veronika Haslinger, General Manager of Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien reg. Gen. m. b. H., Niels Pörksen, CEO of Südzucker AG, and Stefan Streng, Chairman of the Verband Süddeutscher Zuckerrübenanbauer e. V. members of the Supervisory Board.
