ForFarmers' supervisory board chairman not running for new term

ForFarmers NV has announced that Cees de Jong, chairman of its supervisory board, will not be eligible for a new term as supervisory board member.

The board has nominated Jan van Nieuwenhuizen for appointment as supervisory board member by members of the annual general meeting which will be held on April 23.

"ForFarmers is well positioned to face the challenges in the markets with its strategy Build to Grow 2025," said de Jong. "In the past years, I have enjoyed considering various strategic issues in my role as member of the supervisory board and have been able to contribute to the development of the organisation. The moment has come that I need and want to give priority to other matters, which is why I have decided not to be eligible for a new term of four years. I want to thank the executive directors of ForFarmers for the pleasurable cooperation in the past years and am very pleased that ForFarmers can announce a good candidate as a new supervisory board member."

Van Nieuwenhuizen was a member of the management board of Rabobank Group until September 1, 2020. He held various supervisory directorships, including at FGH Bank and Bouwfonds Property Development.

His extensive international experience, knowledge of the global agricultural sector and passion for sustainability are a valuable contribution to ForFarmers' supervisory board, the company said.
