In January-September 2024, IMC Agro Holding increased its revenue to $140.8 million, up 43% year-on-year, according to the company’s report.

According to the report, the most significant part of the company’s revenue comes from corn sales, accounting for 47.4% in the first nine months of 2024 and 83.6% in the first nine months of 2023.

The increase in normalized EBITDA in January-September 2024, as well as the increase in net profit, is due to the increase in sales volumes and higher grain prices at the end of the reporting date, IMC explained.
