Under Dick’s stewardship, Agrifirm has become a leading cooperative that guides members on sustainability, innovation and utilising earning capacity. He has steered Agrifirm’s development into an organisation that is focused on this changing future and is truly delivering a responsible food chain for future generations.
New strategic period
With the new strategy for 2025 - 2028 really taking shape, the Supervisory Board and Dick have jointly concluded that, following two four-year terms, now is a logical time to hand over the reins to a successor.
The processes involved have already been set in motion. Dick will in any case stay on as CEO of Royal Agrifirm Group until 1 January 2025 to complete the current strategic period as CEO. We will make announcements as soon as we have more information about his succession. We hope to be able to communicate this within a few weeks.
We are sincerely grateful to Dick for his tremendous contribution and inspiration and for taking Agrifirm in a new direction over the past eight years. We will reflect at length on his departure and his outstanding achievements in due course.
But for the next few months, our full focus will be on continuing to provide maximum support for our customers and on working together to achieve the plans for 2024.
