Jens Peter Aabyen, Managing Director, comments

“Although the company is not reporting a positive operating result for 2011, we see positive signs of an approaching turnaround to profitability. With the acquisition of Landkom a new Alpcot Agro group is taking form with a different scale and geographic balance, indicating the beginning of an exciting phase in the company’s development.”
