Am publicat astăzi pe BVB rezultatele financiare preliminare ale Agroland Group pentru 2025. Un an în care am investit mult și am crescut.
📊 358 milioane lei cifră de afaceri (+17%)
📈 24 milioane lei rezultat operațional (+40%)
💰 10 milioane lei profit net (+34%)
California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.
One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.
But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.
Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.
The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.
The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.
Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.
Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

29 de ani de muncă, vise, provocări și reușite. Am crescut din pasiune, ne-am consolidat prin încredere și am mers mai departe datorită oamenilor care ne-au fost alături.
#România are un potențial agricol uriaș.
Provocarea nu e pământul.
Ci transformarea lui în producție reală și competitivă.

China has released an “army of robots”
Shenzhen-based UBTECH Robotics has announced the world’s first “mass delivery” of industrial humanoid robots.
Hundreds of Walker S2 units have already left the factory. Mass production began earlier than promised.
UBTECH’s order book is enormous, and the first batches are going straight to major industrial players: BYD, Geely, FAW-Volkswagen, Dongfeng, and Foxconn.
The robots will be integrated into manufacturing and logistics, where around-the-clock, uninterrupted work is crucial.
Ummm... $NVDA is currently trading at 27.6x sales, which means the "market" expects $NVDA to pay it, as a dividend, 100% of its sales, every yr, for the next 27.6yrs. I'll remind you of this quote from Sun Microsystems' CEO when the https://t.co/ThQz52tZgT bubble burst in 2002.
Până în 2030, Agroland își propune să devină lider național și regional în producție alimentară, retail specializat și agribusiness integrat - plus transferul acțiunilor pe Piața Principală a BVB. Detalii aici: https://t.co/ShpHjI7z9u
🔴 Criza ouălor: semnalam din vară, acum se vede clar în magazine.
UE are deficit de ouă → prețuri maxime istorice.
România exportă masiv, dar presiunea crește.

Every founder should be taught this:
~75% of venture-backed startups don’t make it.
So why do so many fail?
It's not:
• product
• market
• cash
It's the founder's inability to scale the people side of the business.
To build a high-performance team.
To drive reliable and repeatable results.
To create a culture people that gets better (not worse) over time.
This isn't easy.
But here's two areas that can make a massive difference:
1) Provide absolute clarity across the company:
→ leaders overestimate the clarity of their comms
→ purpose, values & vision need to be crystal clear
→ with focused goals & measurable outcomes
2) Create a reliable operating rhythm
→ lay the structure people can depend on
→ consistency across mtgs, updates, reviews
→ high alignment, high accountability
These two things help your team understand:
• why are we here?
• where are we going?
• how are we doing?
(I call that the PDP - purpose, direction & progress)
