The firm saw falls in both its feeds and fuels divisions.
Feeds showed an operating profit of £2.7m, compared to £4m the year before, while fuels came in at £0.6m, down from £3.3m in 2011.
The firm said feeds were hit by volatility of commodity prices and the high prices impacting farmers.
Meanwhile fuels suffered from an extremely warm winter, high oil prices and a tough economic environment.
"NWF has delivered a profit in line with the Board's expectations and has been successful in reducing debt further than had been expected," said Chief Executive Richard Whiting.
