Goal The main operational focus is on high production coupled with stringent cost management. Therefore, the operational goal is to produce its commodities at the lowest possible price per tonne. This is achieved through continuous improvements of the efficiency of&nbsp;our&nbsp;production techniques. &nbsp;Strategy Agromino group\u2019s overall business strategy covers every value-added activity from the acquisition of agricultural land and former collective farms in Russia, Ukraine and Estonia, subsequent introduction of modern technology and experienced farm management, as well as follow-on storage, sales and trading activities with the purpose of maximising prices achieved for the group\u2019s commodities. &nbsp; The overall business strategy of Agromino can be summarised as follows: A Focus on large-scale farming clusters Agromino acquires farming operations and agricultural land within small geographical areas (building up land concentration around grain storage capacity within a geographical radius of up to approximately 75 kilometers) with the aim being to form large cereal farming clusters of more than 10,000 hectares, a size which justifies significant investment and realizes managerial efficiency. Acquire land next to road, rail and storage infrastructure Agromino only acquires land which has access to the required road, rail and storage infrastructure. Set up operations next to regional population centers Agromino builds its clusters in vicinity to regional population centers which, in addition to offering more developed production infrastructure, facilitates recruitment and retention of high quality employees for cluster level management. Use primarily highest capacity Western manufactured machinery Agromino focuses on using primarily highest capacity Western manufactured machinery, allowing for high efficiency in operations. Use Ukrainian and Russian language speaking management teams Agromino&nbsp;uses local management teams together with &nbsp;European co-managers. The &nbsp;co-managers are Western trained but speak fluent Ukrainian and Russian and understand the post-Soviet mindset. This enables the company to quickly implement technological and operational changes required under modern production standards. Selectively implementing international best practice Agromino works closely with leading global agronomic advisers and technology providers to pick and choose approaches best suited for its own regional climate, soil and manpower. New technologies are first tested and tried on the company\u2019s test-fields prior to being implemented in large scale on a group-wide basis. Acquire &nbsp;own elevator storage capacity Agromino only sets up operations where it can &nbsp;acquire &nbsp;its own elevator storage capacity. Develop integrated commodities production, storage and trading operations On the basis of its production and storage operations the company has developed its own trading operations. This allows for maximisation of sales prices for the company\u2019s produce and for capturing available trading margins from consolidating crop from small regional farmers which do not have access to distribution channels. Setting up production clusters in geographically diversified areas allowing for weather hedge Agromino has set up its production clusters at large distances from each other, allowing for hedging against regional weather conditions and providing for a better group level predictability of cash flows. Expansion of agricultural land portfolio in the Black Earth region Agromino continues to build up its cereal farming land portfolio in the Black Earth region of &nbsp;Ukraine, an area known for the very high fertility of the soil and allowing for production of grains and oilseeds at some of the lowest &#8220;cost per tonne&#8221; &nbsp;achievable globally. Competitive strengths The management believes that the company\u2019s main competitive strengths are: \u2022 High-quality&nbsp;employees \u2022 High-quality land portfolio The group\u2019s land areas for cereal production are located in the Black Earth region, offering some of the lowest production costs of grains and oilseeds globally. \u2022 Optimal geographic location with access to required infrastructure and personnel The production clusters are contiguous and compact, allowing for low production logistics costs, and are located close to regional population centers providing access to required infrastructure and personnel. \u2022 Some of the lowest production costs in its region Due to high potential for economies of scale from land concentration and high-capacity Western manufactured machinery, the group obtains some of the lowest production costs in the Black Earth region \u2022 Efficient application of modern agricultural know-how in the former Soviet Union setting The Western training and Ukrainian and Russian language skills of its key management in combination with their knowledge of the post-Soviet environment allows Agromino to implement modern agricultural know-how efficiently in the former Soviet Union setting. \u2022&nbsp; Integrated business model with access to grain elevators and trading expertise Agromino either already owns &nbsp;its own elevator storage facilities at each cluster which strengthens independence of regional traders and storage providers. The group\u2019s sales and trading business allows the group to obtain the best available prices for its commodities through the execution of deliveries both domestically as well as to export markets. Further, it allows the group to combine its own goods with third-party commodities thereby increasing sale volumes and average prices achieved."}
