ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Ghitha Holding, a diversified conglomerate operating across agriculture, food production, and distribution sectors, reported a strong start to 2025 with a 7.2% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue for the first quarter, reaching Dh1.35 billion.
The Group’s gross profit rose by 27.1% YoY to Dh307.9 million, while operating profit grew by 6.4% to Dh76.8 million, driven by cost efficiencies and an improved product mix. The performance reflects successful organic growth initiatives, operational momentum, and contributions from recent acquisitions.
Commenting on the results, Falal Ameen, CEO of Ghitha Holding, said:
“Our first quarter results reflect Ghitha’s disciplined execution and strong foundations. The contribution of recent acquisitions to this quarter’s performance marks a tangible milestone in our acquisition strategy, and we’re excited about the future potential of our latest deal with Al Jazira Poultry Farm. Ghitha will continue to explore further opportunities aligned with its strategic vision, with active pipelines across the food segment.”
In March 2025, Al Ain Farms, a subsidiary of Ghitha Holding, signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire Al Jazira Poultry Farm, a leading UAE-based poultry producer. This acquisition strengthens Ghitha’s position in the protein vertical and follows the successful acquisition of Arabian Farms last year.
Looking ahead, Ghitha plans to enhance its operations through technology implementation and digital innovation, aiming to elevate decision-making, streamline processes, and boost competitiveness across its value chain. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) will remain a core pillar of its strategy, with a focus on operational integration, efficiencies, and maximising value creation.
Ghitha Holding operates as a subsidiary of International Holding Company and manages a wide-ranging portfolio of subsidiaries and associates, including Al Ain Farms, Marmum Dairy Farm, Arabian Farms, Apex Investment, Al Ajban Poultry, and NRTC Group, among others, engaged across dairy, poultry, fish, agriculture, food commodities, and trading sectors.
