Crédito Agrícola registered a 2.2% drop in first-half profit, with the result falling to 168.5 million euros. The decrease in profit was essentially due to the reduction of the financial margin and insurance contract results. This decline contrasts with the positive performance the financial institution had recorded in previous periods. Crédito Agrícola is one of the main credit cooperatives in Portugal, mainly serving the agricultural sector and rural communities of the country.
