Austrian Agrana is interested in sugar plants in the Balkans

Company head, Johan Marihart said for APA agency that Agrana is still interested in investments in West Balkans but that he cannot be more specific about it.

In the past, Marihart expressed interest in stepping into the Serbian market for a few times i.e. for acquisition of the existing facilities.

He said that in the current year he expects a “mild” sugar price growth, not big leaps but only “moderately positive” price.

Sugar price at the world market over the previous years had high jumps and falls, after early 2011, the price fell by two thirds and stabilized in the last fall.
