About the company RUSAGRO GROUP
Security pageRusagro is one of the largest Russian agricultural holdings, operating in four lines of business at once: sugar, vegetable oil, meat and agriculture. Such a combination is rare even within the industry. Its depositary receipts trade on the Moscow Exchange under the ticker RAGR.
What the company does
The point of being diversified lies in the different nature of the risks. The sugar business depends on the beet harvest and world sugar prices; the oil and fats business on sunflower prices and export duties; the meat business on the cost of feed and the animal disease situation. It is rare for all four lines of business to slump at the same time.
The agricultural segment, meanwhile, supplies the others: the group's own beet goes to its sugar plants, and its grain goes into feed for pig farming. This is the same principle of vertical integration as in the steel industry, except that the raw material grows in a field.
Land here is not only a means of production but also an asset: the holding's land bank has value in its own right, and that value rises along with the price of farmland.

Opportunities

Frequently asked questions
What does the Rusagro group do?
The holding produces sugar, vegetable oil and products made from it, pork and processed meat products, and also grows sugar beet, grain and oilseed crops on its own land.
Why does an agricultural holding need four lines of business at once?
They carry different risks: sugar depends on the beet harvest, oil on sunflower and duties, meat on feed and animal diseases. It is rare for all four to slump at the same time, and this smooths out the group's results.
Why is land important for an agricultural holding?
It is both a means of production and an asset in its own right. The company's own fields provide raw materials for processing without buying them on the market, while the land bank itself gains in value along with the price of farmland.
Issuer profile
What the company does
The company is classified under the «Retail & consumer» sector, using the taxonomy we apply when comparing securities with one another.
The same sector holds 26 issuers on the platform, and their figures are computed by one method — so this company's revenue, profit and leverage can be compared with them directly.
The company is registered in Russia and identified in regulatory disclosure by tax number 5003077160. That number locates its statements in state registries regardless of how its name is spelled — and the spelling differs even between official documents.
Listed securities
The issuer has 1 security listed: 1 share class. All are shown on this page, including those trading in different modes and different currencies.
Across Moscow Exchange quotation list levels the securities split as follows: 1 at level 1. The level reflects how strict the disclosure, turnover and track-record requirements the issue meets are — not how attractive the investment is.
Dividend history
The issuer has made 2 payouts whose record date has already passed. Recommendations and forecasts are not counted here.
The most recent payout was 16.48 ₽ per security with a record date of 6 August 2026. That is the amount before tax: the broker withholds it on crediting, so less arrives in the account.
Financial statements
The most recent annual report we hold is for 2025 under RAS. The standard is named for a reason: IFRS and RAS compute the same quantities by different rules, disagree by design and are never averaged.
Revenue for 2025 was 0.00 ₽.
That is 100.0 % less than in 2024, when revenue was 3.96B ₽. The comparison stays within one reporting standard — otherwise the decline could turn out to be a change of accounting rules and nothing more.
Net income for 2025 was 459.95M ₽.
Equity stands at 6.82B ₽ against total assets of 6.86B ₽. The difference between the two is the company's liabilities, and the larger it is relative to equity, the more the business depends on borrowed money.
