At the beginning of the second half of 2024, the BayWa Group faced a liquidity, earnings, and strategy crisis, which required a comprehensive review of its financial position. As a result, an external restructuring opinion was commissioned, providing the basis for further measures.
Based on the reorganisation concept developed in this opinion, the BayWa Group concluded a legally binding restructuring agreement on 30 June 2025 with its two anchor shareholders, Bayerische Raiffeisen-Beteiligungs-AG and Raiffeisen Agrar Invest AG, as well as key financial creditors. The opinion confirmed the Group's fundamental ability to restructure and serves as the foundation for implementing the restructuring measures now underway.

In the first half of 2025, the European apple market remained stable with clearly positive price trends. In Germany, apple prices rose to between €80 and €90 per 100 kilograms in April and May, around 20% above the average of previous years during the second quarter. This sharp increase was driven by lower supply at the end of the season, combined with continued high demand.
Following the storm damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, the apple harvest in New Zealand has again exceeded the previous year's level. The originally cautious expectations were surpassed, largely due to exceptionally good fruit quality. This high quality has strengthened New Zealand's export position and met with solid international demand.
