UAE Crop Merchant Al Dahra to Exit Romania Grain Trading

Al Dahra Holding is ending grain trading in Romania, underscoring pressures faced by international merchants in a crowded and competitive Black Sea market.

The Emirati agribusiness group plans to wind down local trading operations in 2026, according to people familiar with the matter, after posting losses in three consecutive years. Al Dahra will continue to operate its farming and fertilizer businesses in the country, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they were not authorized to discuss internal company matters.
