The former prime minister did not succeed in the Czech presidential election this year, as he was defeated by Petr Pavel in the second round.
On the other hand, his Agrofert has had its foothold, in recent months it has been working on a giant acquisition worth 810 million euros – the takeover of the Austrian chemical business Borealis for the production of fertilizers. If successful, the group's fertilizer production would double and Agrofert would become the second largest fertilizer producer in Europe after Norway's Yara. The Agrofert Holding brings together almost two hundred companies. It operates in the chemical industry, agriculture and food industry.
In addition he owns forestry companies and also does business in land technologies and engineering, logistics, transportation and the media.
