Linas Agro Group, AB strengthens trade of fertilisers

The joint stock company Linas Agro Group is buying farmer supply centres with
fertiliser warehouses in Joniskis and Kedainiai from Arvi Fertis, UAB. By this
step Linas Agro Group, AB seeks to strengthen its position in fertiliser import
and retail trade by providing fertilizers to farmers participating in
agricultural programmes.

Linas Agro Grudu centras KUB, UAB run by Linas Agro Group, AB has signed the
purchase and sale agreement with Arvi Fertis, UAB, by which Linas Agro Grudu
centras KUB, UAB acquires Joniskis and Kedainiai-located farmer supply centres.
The first centre consists of the land site of 2.56 hectares with an
administrative building, fertiliser warehouses of 3.36 thousand cubic metres
and fertiliser packing equipment, while Kedainiai-located centre consists of a
farmer supply centre with an administrative building located in an area of 2.51
hectares, fertiliser warehouses of 2.63 thousand cubic metres and, also
fertiliser packing equipment. The sum of the contract has not been revealed due
to the mutual agreement of the parties.

The acquired assets border with Linas Agro grain elevators in Joniskis and
Kedainiai and have their separate railway roads. The fertilizers storage
capacity of newly acquired warehouses will be 13 thousand tons and the total
Linas Agro fertiliser storing capacities will reach 35 thousand tons.

Trade in fertilisers by Linas Agro Group, AB was started in 1993 with the
launch of oilseed rape and grain cultivation programmes. At the moment,
fertilisers are stored in Linas Agro grain centres in Joniskis, Kedainiai,
Siauliai, Vilkaviskis and an elevator of the cooperative Kupiskio grudai. In
this financial year which started in July 2009 the company sold approximately
80 thousand tons of fertilisers.

“Until now we did not import fertilisers into Lithuania ourselves, while this
year we imported 20 thousand tons. With the acquisition of the warehouses we
will buy fertilisers directly from the producers, therefore, profitability of
this activity will rise. In the two next seasons we plan to increase our annual
fertiliser sales up till 160 thousand tons as well as our market share in
Lithuania,” Linas Agro Group, AB Board Chairman Darius Zubas says.

The investments into two farmer supply centres with fertiliser warehouses will
enable Linas Agro Group, AB to strengthen its position in fertiliser marketing
in Latvia, too. Fertilisers are planned to be packed into FIBC bags in Joniskis
farmer supply centre and transported to Latvia.

Moreover, it is planned, that investments into fertiliser warehouses in
Joniskis and Kedainiai will enable the company to increase its fertiliser
sales by LTL 110 million until the end of the first half of year 2012.

“We believe that the acquisition of farmer supply centres with fertiliser
warehouses will bring double benefit to the company. To begin with, it will
strengthen Linas Agro Group, AB positions in fertiliser import and increase the
activity's profitability; further, it will enable us to provide farmers with
the necessary means for the most attractive prices. The second positive aspect
of this acquisition is that there is a possibility to build new grain storages
in the future on large land sites bordering with our grain centres. Expansion
of grain storages, which strengthens our main activities - trade in grain and
oilseed rape, is an important part of our company's strategy, which has been
consistently implemented since 2002,” D. Zubas states.
