The company continues to pursue structured growth combining upstream vertical integration, reinforcement of its ripening and distribution network, and expansion of its premium product offering.

Meanwhile, brokerage firm Portzamparc — part of BNP Paribas Group — has initiated coverage of the company’s shares and begun issuing investment recommendations. This follows the group’s 2024/25 financial results, which showed revenue of €284.8 million, representing a 15.3% increase compared with the previous year.

In its report entitled “La croissance à la banane” — a reference to the upward curve of growth — the broker underlined the company’s development potential and set a buy recommendation with a target price of €11.20 per share.
