KTG Agrar SE's food operations make buoyant start to 2016

- BIOFACH, 10-13 February, Nuremberg; INTERNORGA, 11-16 March, Hamburg

- "From field to plate" strategy provides powerful USP

- KTG products occupy 50 kilometres of shelf and freezer space in German
retail sector

Hamburg, 9 February 2016. KTG Foods, the foods arm of KTG Agrar SE (ISIN:
DE000A0DN1J4), is making a confident start to the year 2016. "We are set to
continue the dynamic growth curve achieved in the food area over the past
two years and have our sights firmly on the EUR 150 million mark in terms
of sales," says Siegfried Hofreiter, CEO of KTG Agrar SE. Our innovative
products will be bringing a breath of fresh air to retailers' shelves.
Superfoods, vegan and online retailing are just three of the exciting
trends which we are determined to capitalise on." To start the year, KTG
Foods, which serves as the umbrella company for Frenzel Tiefkühlkost,
Bio-Zentrale Naturprodukte, Ölmühle Naturoel Anklam, the Linthe
Frischedienst and "Die Landwirte" brand will exhibit at the BIOFACH and
INTERNORGA trade fairs.

When BIOFACH, the organic food industry's world-leading event, opens its
doors on 10 February, the sector is looking at excellent prospects, with
the boom in organic foods going from strength to strength in Germany and
beyond. Retailers across the board - from farm shops and organic grocers to
supermarkets - report growing demand for organic products. Being one of the
largest growers of organic produce in Europe, KTG Agrar is bound to benefit
from this trend. The agricultural company has farmed approximately half of
its fields organically since 1994. In addition, KTG has a branded presence
on supermarket shelves through Bio-Zentrale, which will once again be
featured at a dedicated stand at BIOFACH. This year, too, will see an
impressive array of new product launches. The line-up will be led by a
superfood cereal bar with Chia seeds to be offered in three varieties.
Moreover, another two varieties will be added to the successful range of
vegetable crisps in order to consolidate its strong position in this
segment. Bio-Zentrale products are carried by numerous leading retailers.
At the same time, online availability is being pushed ahead; consumers can
now also order these products on Amazon (www.amazon.de/bio-zentrale)‎.
